News coverage on great iPhone apps is sure to ramp up in your readers from here on, and I’m particularly excited to learn more about some stunning apps and report back along the way. Before I dive into the new Apple App store, I'd like to encourage you to take a closer look at a newly released jail-broken app, Instinctiv Shuffle™.

I'm addicted to my music and music gadgetry, but the single feature that I've never been fond of and almost never use is the "random shuffle." True to its name "random" there's no rhyme or reason to how my iPod chooses the lineup, and mostly it leaves me flipping around or onto the next song, rendering the feature an epic fail. Instinctiv Shuffle is the first app that truly seems to understand how I listen.

The application smartly shuffles my music in a few seemingly simple steps (note there’s a bunch of crazy stuff behind the scenes bringing together the brilliant outcome):

Step 1. Instinctiv Shuffle gathers the names of your songs and their associated playback.

Step 2. Via a secure and anonymous connection, this data is uploaded to Instinctiv Shuffle servers.

Step 3. That data is analyzed and new information is returned to your iPhone, enabling your formerly random shuffle feature to now determine the perfect songs and mix for you.
