Pardon me for posting a design and flash unrelated post.

I've just got my iPhone recently, and have been looking around for free apps to install.

Being a Singaporean, the first thing I wanted to do was sift out, from the thousands of US-centric apps, apps that were tuned for the local community.

So here's the post, and feel free to post in the comments if you know of an app I don't!

1. SG Buses

   SG Buses is a bus guide for Singapore iPhone/iPod Touch users. SG Buses contains information on:

   - bus routes
   - schedules of first and last buses
   - bus stop numbers (for use with IRIS)

   With SG Buses, you can browse or search for information of a particular bus, or search for all the buses available at a particular bus stop or road.

   

2. SG Malls

   *** WE HAVE ION ORCHARD & ORCHARD CENTRAL ***

   Ever got lost in a mall? Wondering where that Food court, Levis store or MacDonalds was? We have certainly have and that is why we created SG Malls.
