Today we’re continuing our series called Desert Island Apps.  It’s based on a very long-running and brilliant BBC Radio show called “Desert Island Discs’.  The premise of Desert Island Discs is simple and wonderful – a guest is invited to choose the eight musical pieces (originally records) they would take with them if they were stranded on a desert island.

In our case of course we’re not interested in our guests’ choice of music.  What we want to know is which six iPhone apps they would take with them if stranded on an island. We’re leaving the playing field pretty wide open for them – letting them assume they’ve got WiFi and full connectivity on their island.

Today’s guest is Robin Rhys. Robin hosts, writes and produces the superb App Advice Daily video podcast, which I’m a huge fan of.  Here’s a little more about her:

Robin Rhys is the senior editor for AppAdvice.com, and the host, writer and producer of App Advice Daily. She received a B.A. from California State University, Northridge in Broadcast Journalism and Political Science. As a tech journalist, she focuses on mainly iPhone specific news and reviews, and spends most of her days digging through the App Store.
