CNET's Tom Merritt counts down the top 5 iphone apps you should never download.

Transcript
Welcome to CNET Top 5 where each time we meet, we count down another scorching CNET list. I’m Tom Merritt. The iPhone application store is filled fantastic software, but believe us, there’s still room for crap. We’ve made mistakes so you don’t have to. Let’s countdown the top 5 worst iPhone apps. At number five, Touch Train. On the plus side, it’s free. On the downside, it’s incredibly stupid allegedly training you to use the already incredibly intuitive touch screen that presents you a target and gages how close you get to touching it. That’s it. Coming in at number four, National Threat Advisory. This is one is a favorite of CNET webware’s Josh Lowenson. The national threat level is obviously nothing to joke about, certainly, but do you need an app to tell you it’s still yellow or orange. It’s not like it can launch itself to tell you if the level changed, but at least it’s free. Up to number three, Bank of America’s Mobile Banking. This free offering packs everything into an app you can get by visiting Bank of America’s website in the Safari browser that you already have on your iPhone. Gliding on at number two, Flashlight. It gives you essentially the same thing as putting about blank into the browser or taking a picture of something entirely white and viewing it in your photo galleries. A fully blank screen for a pathetic 99 cents. Before we get to number one, let’s look at the rest of the top 10 worst iPhone apps. I know Cattle Toss sounds fun but it’s not. Alright, let’s get to our number one. The worst iPhone app in the store. Number one, it’s Hold On. I actually kind of love the idiocy of this game. If you love the documentary Hands on a Hard Body, you may actually like this free game. The point is to hold the hold button for as long as you can. They say it develops perseverance and concentration and could make you more productive. I think the last thing this app will do is make you more productive but it will make the top of our list of worst iPhone apps. Well, that’s it for this edition of CNET Top 5. I have to thank Josh Lowenson of Webware and Jason Parker of CNET Download for helping put together this list as well as our best iPhone apps list. You can give us your 5 worst iPhone apps at our blog at blog.cnettv.com. I’m Tom Merritt, see you next time.
