My entertainment needs on my iPhone depend on the environment I'm in and the amount of time I have to sit around. If I have twenty minutes, I'll read my Kindle app to pick up where I left off reading a book on my Kindle reader, but if I just have a few minutes while waiting for the doctor or in line at the movie theatre, I usually don't have the attention span to really read anything that requires focus.

The New Yorker cartoon app is perfect for those snippets of time. Each cartoon lasts just a few seconds, and you shake for new pages of options. I'd probably take this out to entertain my friends' children during dinners out (though I'm sure this would be frowned upon by parents given the dark humor subject matter of some of the cartoons).
