You need to first install iStudy software for reading flashcard applications before you can view GRE vocabulary flash application.
I would say this would be a dream software for all GRE aspirants. I am an engineer myself and I used to be a GRE aspirant myself during college days though it is different thing that I couldn’t get much success in it . I remember my fellow students making cards, writing whole giant list of words on papers and pasting it all over their room (not a bad idea though ) and doing n number of things to be able to flash the huge world list in front of their eyes again and again and also at the same time to be able to see the correct ans only when they have their ans ready.

This software would be so magical and easy to use for you guys that you wound remain stunned after using it. I would not be joking if I say this software could become a crucial thing for your GRE success. Ahh… why was it not there when I was student.. you students are so lucky that apple came with such a cool product at your time… we didn’t even see a mobile phone in our times.. .. so poor people we are!!!

Needless to say that you need to first jail break your iPhone to install softwares unless you are ready to pay and get it from iTunes. I have been searching and trying softwares for quite some time now and I thought it would be worthwhile to share my experiences with you.
Below is the list of software which I think can add a great value to your iphone ofcoure it is quite dependent on person and his likings and profile etc but you can always choose what you find interesting and ignore what you would hate.

1. SummerBoard
2. GRE Vocabulary
3. Call History Patch
4. MxTube
5. SendPics
6. Wallpaper
7. AgileMessenger
8. PhotoDial
9. weDict
10. Docs

What’s new in it
1. More color options.
2. Curved design
3. All-aluminum and glass design.
4. Personal DJ
5. Highly intelligent: It creates playlists by finding songs in your library that go great together
6. The accelerometer comes to iPod nano. Give it a shake to shuffle your music.

Earlier when I was using iPhone 2G, I was quite happy with the results. The touch experience was never so great in phones as it was is in iPhone.

Web Browsing, iPod, and a phone, it is no doubt one of the best phones present in the market. When I shifted to iPhone 3G, I was very excited about it. When you have older version in your hand you start expecting better in newer version.

After buying iPhone 3G, I was disappointed. I found following problems

1. Switching to Edge network while there is strong 3G signal present.

2. Call drop during the conversation.

3. It still has 2 M Pixel camera while there are 4 M Pixel camera mobile phone present in the market.

4. No video recording this time too.

5. No MMS in iPhone 3G.

6. Still there is no way to copy and paste some text so if you want to give some contact information to some colleague, you need to remember the contact information first then type it ?.

7. No second camera for video calls as it makes sense in 3G phones.

After having so much of drawbacks, I still have iPhone 3G and I can’t have another phone as I am used to of some great features it has. Now decision is your whether you want to buy it now or wait for newer version of iPhone.
