Top 10 iPhone 3G Applications

This is yet another list of favorite iPhone 3G applications available from the Apple App Store. Actually, it is not ordered top 10 list, but just a list of the 10 applications that I found most useful. No games are included since games qualify for their own top 10 list. Listed is also mainly free applications since I have only bought a couple of applications at this time. The list will be updated as new and better applications arrive at App Store.

It supports all the common file types, including PDFs, Microsoft Office documents, images, movies, sounds and even folders. By running the FileMagnet Uploader on your Mac, you can wirelessly copy files over your wi-fi network.

    The application uses the FDM Benzin Priser service to get the latest gas-prices for your current area (GPS Support), or the latest prices for your regular gas stations. Reporting prices from the application to help others get gas cheaper is easy.
