Remote Buddy
Remote Buddy turns your iPhone into a remote controller for iTunes. If you are one of those people who have stuck on to iTunes for its obvious benefits, you might as well start to use your iPhone as a remote. This app was one of the firsts, and it’s been increasingly picked up because it lets you do lots more. It’s not only a remote, but a presenter and a keyboard (for your Mac), launching videos, etc. Remote Buddy is an AJAX Remote, so you get the same interface on the phone’s browser; since its connectivity is via Wi-Fi, lag times are low and efficiency is almost up there.
Pandora Radio
Pandora Radio is an internet radio application for the iPhone, using which you can stream music on your iPhone. The application is smart. Once you name one of your favorite artists, songs, etc., it will auto create a station customized to your choice; and if you’re registered on Pandora Radio, you can save the settings. You can login through your iPhone and have your saved custom-station at your service or create more of them.
The Last.FM iPhone app is another internet radio app. The Last.FM app too lets you have the same web interface that you have on your iPhone. So you get the same red button for streaming, to navigate comfortably to choose your favorite artist or song. The app is automated even on clicking a link in the Safari browser while browsing through the Last.FM site. Now, have one of the best online radio stations right at the touch of your iPhone/iPod.
WritingPad
WritingPad lets you store notes and send them as email using ShapeWriter. ShapeWriter is a text input technology that enables you to enter text into the iPhone by tracing word shapes rather than typing letters. It’s much faster than punching in each alphabet or tracing a single alphabet. The error correction is also prompt, and it sure is a boon to use on the soft keypad of the iPhone.
iTalk is a audio recording app for the iPhone. iTalk features a very simple interface with a large button to start recording. You can choose to record at various quality levels. These recordings will auto-feature in your iPhone playlist.
You can also download a separate tool to sync just your recordings with the PC iTalk Sync, and you can do so over Wi-Fi as well.
reQall
reQall is a smart To-Do List application. You will no more have to type in your notes, though it is an option; all you’d need to do is voice your notes into the phone, and it will remind you via SMS, IM, Calendar alert, Voice, Email, etc. You can also create appointments, shopping lists, etc.
The key behind reQall is its ability to identify keywords and then accordingly fill in the blanks, instead of you going through the tedious process.
With Private Data, you can view various file types, like .XLS, .PPT, and .DOC. You can view images and play around with them, rotating and zooming in/out, and you can also watch movies. But mainly, as the name of this app suggests, you can password protect your files and restrict people from viewing them whenever they access you phone.
Documents Free
This is a light mobile suite app for the iPhone. You can edit and manage spreadsheets and text files on the move. It works both online and offline, so it’s perfect for saving large amounts of your work online to be accessed from other devices. This is possible with its Google Documents compatibility. This feature makes it ideal for use whether you use a PC or a Mac.
It can open Microsoft Word, Excel, OpenOffice, and all other major office suite file types. If you wish to independently work only with Excel or spreadsheets, then there is a cut-out version, iSpreadsheet, which is also available for free.
GPS Tracker is a free, real-time GPS tracking application. With this app installed, you can track your iPhone online and also share your location with friends and family, just like Google Maps with Location. You can also have your position embedded into your blog or even on social networking sites like Facebook.
WordPress
WordPress is the WordPress app for the iPhone, similar to other sites making their own apps for the iPhone, like Skype, Facebook, or Yahoo. This app helps you to peacefully blog from your iPhone, enabling you to create and edit content on your WordPress blogs. You can embed pictures after browsing through your iPhone, and also have a preview before you go live with your blog post. It also lets you save drafts, set a time period for your blog post to go live, etc.
Now I end this list of Best iPhone Applications, from the App Store of course, but I just can’t stop myself from providing you with a game much before I provide you with the Best iPhone Games list. So here goes.
reMovem (Free)
Remember Bubble Breaker for the Windows Mobile? Wanted it for your iPhone? Well, you can have it. It’s called reMovem and it’s available as a free option as well. It’s a great game and just as much fun and timepass as it’s meant to be. Have fun!
Until then, list down those games that you find the best on the iPhone and the ones you turn to, to kill time when boredom strikes, while travelling or when you just have nothing to do but lie lazily in bed.

Amazing, I found your site on google poking around for something completely unrelated- now I’m gonna need to go the old posts. Good bye free time today, but this was a really spectacular find.
