The James Bond franchise is set for another period of transition, with Daniel Craig thought to have starred as 007 for the very last time.
.
Similarly, bookmakers are also taking odds on who will be the next Bond girl, while the narrative for the next film also has yet to be confirmed.
.
Despite this, Bond remains an iconic character who has transcended generations, while he continues to serve as a life-sized inspiration to men across the globe. For those who want to experience what it's like to be 007, we've listed five apps that can help you to achieve this goal.
.
- The Top-secret Audio Recorder App
.
While we imagine that Bond has to attend meeting some time, we hate the idea of him furiously scribing short-hand notes on a piece of paper.
.
So, if you want to operate like 007, you'll need to do away with ink and paper and instead transform your smartphone into a top-secret voice recorder.
.
This iOS app is available for just $0.99 and will let you do just that, while it enables you to record all the minute details of your meeting while also indulging your inner spy.
.
- Night Vision Scope
.
Another iPhone app, the innovative Night Vision Scope ($0.99) is another creation that can transform even the most ordinary of men into a budding Bond.
.
This app essentially serves as night vision googles, which can be integrated into your smartphone and instantly illuminate your surroundings.
.
A must-have tool for every secret agent, the app will allow you to move with stealth in any situation and achieve even the most challenging of top-secret missions.
.
- Top Shelf Drinks
.
We now make it a hat-trick of $0.99 iPhone apps, with Top Shelf Drinks helping you to mix the kind of cocktails that James Bond consumes for breakfast (not literally, we hope, particularly as he carried a firearm and has a license to kill).
.
The app includes recipes for some of the world's best known and most exotic drinks, and is ideal whether you need to educate a barman or impress your own Bond girl in waiting.
.
Whether you want your Martini shaken, stirred or mixed with a healthy shot of Vodka, this app will help to you create the perfect cocktail every single time!
.
- The Google Search App
.
Much more than just a mobile version of the search engine, this free iOS and Android app allows you to search for items using a simple image.
.
A tool that boasts the type of functionality and innovation that Bond craves, this can increase the speed and efficiency of your mobile searches and allow to become a smooth operator like the man himself!
.
You can also organise your contact's list with this app, which is crucial for a man with Bond's international reach and influence.
.
- Burn Note
.
This is actually a free, web-based service that's accessible through your smartphone, and one that can introduce a sense of urgency to your daily communications.
.
Fun and clever in equal measure, you can send instant messages that 'self-destruct' once they've been read, which is right out of the Bond handbook. These messages are also delivered with a humorous twist, with classics such as “your mission, should you choose to accept it, is to replace the toner in the copier”, sure to draw to a belly-laugh from recipients.
.
In short, this app allows you to become a fun-loving Bond, who has a license to entertain as well as one that enables him to kill!
