Well, with Shazam you can! Simply launch Shazam, tap the screen, and a long as the music is loud and clear enough, and well known enough to be identifiable, Shazam will find it. You’ll get not only the name, but the ability to share your discovery, and even find it in the iTunes Music store if you so wish. It really is like magic!

There are a ton of options to watch video on your iPhone, including buying or streaming directly on your device.

All those home movies you’ve made or DVDs you’ve – legally in your jurisdiction – ripped and stored for safe keeping? Air Video HD is for those. Run the small Air Video Server app on your desktop, and then not only can you stream any video, in any format, transcoded on-the-fly to your iPhone, but you can re-stream it to your Apple TV via AirPlay as well. Air Video is a video junkies best friend.

Screens 3 VNC
Screens 3 is now the best VNC client for iOS 7
Screens lets you use your iPhone to remotely view and interact with your Mac or Windows PC. Using such a tiny screen to control such a big screen might seem difficult if not impossible, and indeed it does work better on the iPad, but Screens does a great job making it as usable as possible even on the iPhone. It’s long been the dream of every IT professional to run their server room from poolside, and every home technologist to run their desktop from the sofa. Screens makes that a reality.

And 1Password can sync them across devices and platforms. Plus, with its own master password, you can unlock your phone without worrying about unlocking everything else.

Google Search (with Google Now predictive results)
Google Search not only provides text and voice-based search, as the name implies, but also incorporates Google Now technology. That means it uses your location, calendar, and the information Google knows about you and your contacts to provide predictive information for you, presented on easy to use, easy to dismiss cards. Weather, travel, and more shuffle up, and can be shuffled away. It’s not the same, native experience you get on Google’s own Android, and it’s not the same as Apple’s Siri, but if you’re willing to trust it with your data, it’s a useful feature to have around.
