TechCrunch Disrupt is all about startups and one of the hottest areas of innovation is apps. Not surprisingly, there was an abundance of companies showcasing new and exciting titles on the conference floor. Thanks to the footwork of our own Mike Rose, we were able to hand-picked several standout iOS apps that were on display. Keep an eye on these companies below -- they may be small now, but they could be the next Instapaper.
