Today’s theme is real-life power-ups. There are far too many smartphone apps out there to keep up with, but that’s a great thing.

Here are a few exciting bits of recent app news.
Quotebook 2.0 is out for iPhone and iPad, letting you save and sync your favorite sayings across devices and always have them at hand.
If you hate spinning the stupid timer wheel in the iPhone’s built-in clock app, App Cubby’s Timer will save you.
