So the big news of the day is the incredible growth of the App store. It has had five hundred million downloads across 15,000 categories within a very short time. The bulk of earnings comes from games and interesting apps like Ocarina and Pandora Radio. But you will be surprised to know that the iPod is making strides in a very important area of human life – studies. Your iPod could turn you into a scholar.

 The iPhone has all the prerequisites to deliver good study guides. It has a full color screen and dimensions akin to note cards. In addition it also has gigabytes of storage. The most important thing is that the iPhone is somewhat uber cool and will find an appeal with younger crowds.

There are some issues though. There is a lack of awareness on study apps for the iPhone. In addition, many of them are poorly designed. Apple needs to market its study apps like it does its games. There is a lot of money to be made in this area of the iPhone and that is something people are beginning to realise.

Some of the apps released have been SAT Flashcubes and apps to help you memorize the amino acids and there are a number of others. So are you going to study uber cool?
