Back-to-School Sucess with iPhone Apps

With only a few days of summer left to savor before pool parties and beach trips are replaced with textbooks and midterms, Mashable has made the transition a little easier by compiling a list of 10 iPhone Apps to help get organized before the semester starts.

1. Open Culture: Gives you mobile access to educational audio and video collections in addition to university lectures, foreign language lessons and scientific tutorials. A great tool for efficient multi-tasking.

2. Mental Case: This app allows you to create flashcards on your iPhone with the added bonus of recording audio and inserting images to make the task of memorizing customized for you.

7. Blackboard Mobile Learn: Most universities and professors utilize Blackboard as a means of communication between students for assignments, tests, announcements, etc. Having access to Blackboard from your iPhone can make completing assignments and staying organized a lot easier.

10. Free Books: Textbooks are ridiculously costly and Free Books is a great way to cut down your expenses (and save a few trees!) This $1.99 app gives you access to 23,469 classics that you are able to email to yourself instantly.
