We’ve held off picking any iPhone apps as our Freeware of the Moment choice but Shazam can’t be overlooked for iPhone users. I haven’t had time to play with it until today and I am very impressed with how well it works. What it does is simple yet complex at the same time. You hear a song you like on the radio for example and you want to know who the artist is and the title of the song. Just fire up Shazam and hold the iPhone up in the air. It listens for a moment and then returns the Artist, Title and album art for your education. Of course you can then tap a button and buy the song from the iTunes store and even cooler, if there’s a music video on YouTube you can tap another button and watch it. Shazam is easily the Freeware of the Moment simply because it works so well and is so fun. Just search for it in the iPhone Apps Store.
