Impressed with Apple's spread of iPhone apps, Wall Street Journal tech gurus Walt Mossberg and Katherine Boehret list their favorites.
- AOL Radio: The best Internet radio player for the iPhone
- Evernote: A good port of the elegant note-taking program
- Instapaper: Instantly download Web pages for offline reading.
- Travelocity TravelTools: Allows you to check flight schedules, gate assignments, and security wait times.
- More Cowbell! Inspired by the Christopher Walken SNL sketch, you can play cowbell with your favorite songs.
- iWant: Uses the iPhone's GPS sensor to alert you to the closest restaurants, bars, movie theaters, hotels, banks, drugstores, etc.
- Air Hockey: Reproduces the classic table game.
- Truphone: The first VOIP program for the iPhone, so you can make calls at sometimes lower rates than the cell phone.
