1. eBay, Free

Never lose out on a bid or sale again! Manage your eBay watching, buying, and selling from your iPhone with this free app. If you're a power eBay-er, you'll appreciate the tabbed interface for its quickness and simple organization.

 

iDrink2. iDrink, $4.99
 
This virtual cocktail bible has recipes for over 4500 drinks, and you can add or customize your own drinks. The interface lets you search and browse by category, name, or ingredients (even combinations), and save your preferred poisons to a favorites list. Don't go boozing without it. (Get it!)

3.  Pandora Radio, Free
 
The iPhone lacks an FM tuner, but you can use this app to get create personalized radio stations from Pandora's enormous catalog. You can also bookmark, tag, and rate tracks from within the app. Streaming works fine over EDGE and 3G, but the sound quality is best over WiFi. (Get it!)

4. Crash Bandicoot Nitro Kart 3D, $9.99
 
Using the iPhone's accelerometer to act like a steering wheel, this driving game will have you twisting and turning --but hopefully not dropping -- your phone to outrace virtual competitors. You can even pick up special weapons to blow them off the road.

5. Yelp finds local businesses near either your current location (via GPS) or in any town you specify. Although you can probably use google to do the same, this is much better. Includes detailed business info, which includes address, category, and pricing level, as well as plenty of user ratings and reviews from the online community. (Get it!)

6. iProcrastinate MobileiProcrastinate Mobile, Free
 
This uncomplicated task-management app will keep you on track whether you’re student, freelancer, or grocery shopper. You can group tasks and add "team members" from your contacts list to keep others in line too. There's also a desktop version, and wireless sync is coming soon. Download it and get to work! (Get it!)

 

7. BeatMaker, $19.99
 
I am a musician and I absolutely love the BeatMaker. It combines a drum machine, sampler, sequencer, and editor with an expandable sound and effects library that includes lots of different instruments. The app has a bit of a learning curve, but beat-crafters who want something for composing on the go will really dig it. (Get it!)

8. Remote, Free

Apple designed its own simple app for using your iPhone as a remote control for iTunes on your desktop. The controls are very responsive, and the app lets you browse your iTunes music and videos as long as you're in range of your wireless network. Perfect if your computer is hooked up to your home stereo. You can also set it up to control an AppleTV.

9. Crosswords, $9.99

Stuck between two meetings and have time to kill? Crosswords is an essential app for killing your time. Download puzzles from various major newspapers like the Washington Post and The New York Times and solve them in a gorgeous and functional interface. It even works with premium subscriptions, and you can get hints if you're really stuck. (Get it!)

10. Wikipanion

Wikipedia, faster and easier. I use Wikipedia a lot and there is a noticeable difference in the speed of loading in this compared to safari. Plus, the whole thing is organized in a much better interface for iPhone
