Green iPhone Apps

For those of us who have iPhones, we absolutely love them. We use them to find trendy nearby restaurants (like Hot Lips Pizza), check stocks (NYSE; D), and determine if we need an umbrella before we leave the house (weather.com). As many of us know, there are thousands of "apps" (applications) for your iPhone, and a few of those are green apps. We’ve created a list of 5 neat Green iPhone Apps:
