Looking for some apps to make your friends say wow? On today's AppStart special, we have lots!

It might seem strange, but the App Store has only been around for three years. Beforehand, Apple was the only company to officially offer apps for the iPhone, with all the others created by jailbreakers. Now comes word than one of the most popular apps around today, Pandora, actually got its start thanks to the jailbreaking community.

What happens when you combine Flipboard with Pandora Radio? You’ll get Plizy, an invitation-only video companion app for iPad.

Traveling across the Earth and into space highlighted some of the best iPad apps of the past week. But, which was the best?

Pandora, the free Internet radio service, is adding a few jokes to its repertoire of music. Beginning this week the service, which is available online and through a free universal app, now includes 10,000 clips by 700 comedians. The addition of comedy channels is automatic and doesn't require an app update.

Pandora Media released a minor, but notable, update to their Pandora Radio iOS app. Pandora Radio v3.1.6 simply adds support for Ford Sync AppLink and the Mini Connected Infotainment System.

Our Fresh Out Of The Box Applist is perfect for the new iPhone owners out there. Most of the apps on the list are free and can be downloaded in seconds.
