iPhone Apps Support Susan G. Komen Foundation!

Since I first published this on my blogspot blog, the iPhone App Store has been introduced, and the Susan G Komen Foundation put out a breast cancer awareness App to help raise money for the cure. The iPhone App emulates an hourglass where you can watch the grains of sand move as you flip your iPhone, and it acts like a timer, you can set options from 30 seconds to 5 minutes.

It may not be the most useful App, but you know that the money goes direct to Susan G Komen. Clicking the links below will take you directly to the app store and open up iTunes (it will ask you if you need to install):
