It's been a crazy year in apps. Apple released the iPhone 5, complete with larger screen and new OS, as well as the iPad mini, aka Jumbo iPhone. There were scores of updates from manufacturers and, as usual, thousands of new apps on the market.

I wrote about my favorite 10 apps of 2011 last year around this time. This year I give you 12 for 2012. Feel free to leave your favorites in the comments. I'm always looking for new apps!

Google Maps - Adios, not-ready-for-primetime Apple maps.

Zite - my favorite personalized magazine app, drawing from your varied interests.

AP Mobile - If you're going to read news, why not read it from the source?

TuneIn Radio - All the stations that aren't on iHeartRadio.

Google Drive - Finally decent apps that let you edit your Google Docs from your phone or iPad.

Genius Scan - Turns your camera into a scanner.  Create PDFs on the fly.  Incredibly useful.
