Entertainment has been a major part of our lives and the iPhone has a lot of applications dedicated to reflect that as well. If for some reason, your current music or video player has been disappointing you or you are just looking around for some new application, then here are some of those that you might want to consider. All of these come highly recommended by us.

Hulu Plus

If you already have a subscription to Hulu Plus, then chances are that you need to get a hand on this application as well. It has a lot of great movies and titles to choose from. In addition to that, you can use your 3G or Wi-Fi connection to watch videos in Hulu Plus. However, the occasional commercials is still around which is a disappointment to many considering that the user have already paid a premium price for it.

PBS

Applications such as Hulu Plus or HBO GO may be free on the App Store but it still requires you to have a subscription. However, one application that is free of charge is PBS. Through the iPhone app, you can check just about any of Public Broadcasting’s current programs and some old ones from the year of 1980s and 1990s. Some great favorites include Downton Abbey and Julia Child which is available free of charge, even for the full-length episodes.

TED by TED Conferences

You might have already heard about TED and its tagline of “Ideas worth spreading”. For most people, TED can be highly informative. It has a series of educational, motivational as well as explorative talks by people from all around the world. If you want to get your daily dose of TED talks on your iPhone, you can download the TED by TED Conferences application to browse around the videos that you want to watch. If you haven’t give TED a try, it is about time that you do. It will open up your mind about things that are going on in the world.

Netflix

If you already have a Netflix subscription, then you might just want to get the Netflix for iPhone version as well. This app allows you to watch movies from its streaming service. In addition to that, you can also rate movies that you have watched through the smartphone application as well. However, those that wants to make use of the DVD queue management tools, they will have to go on the website instead. This is because the latest version of the app has had this feature removed. It should be noted that the Netflix for iPhone is available free of charge.

Pandora

You must have already heard of the Pandora radio. It is actually a freemium service that is nonetheless highly affordable. You can get Pandora for as low as $3.99 monthly making it much cheaper than the alternative which is Spotify. In fact, for those that loves to listen to music, we highly recommend getting the Pandora Radio application. In the long run, it can be much cheaper as compared with buying albums.
