There are many different apps on the iPhone which offer your up-to-the-minute sports updates. The most consistently working and popular out there now is SportsTap. This app is your one stop shop for all your sports scores, news, and standings, and above all, it's free!

Stock Command is a remake of the old game Missile Command, but there are a few variations. First of all, the stocks (missiles) don't just move linearly, but can jolt around. There are three defense turrets and a few 'funds' at the bottom for you to defend as well.

Apple released a Texas Hold'em application that has most console gambling games blown out of the water. The game is fast-paced and you can have a 'table view', which shows each person play-by-play. The characters are almost realistic and the playing system is intuitive.

The latest task management application from QSoft, Inc, uses text and voice-recognition input to let you jot down bits of information you'd like to remember, or upcoming errands that you need to attend to. The organizing categories are Time, Things and errands shared with People, and users can even add events externally via IM or the web.

Dactyl is a fast-paced game created by Mauvila Software that involved quickly defusing bombs in a specific order as they're ignited one-by-one. As you extinguish more fuses, the rate increases and so the game progresses until you miss a fuse or choose the wrong bomb.

TyroTuner is another guitar tuning application brought to you by Mauvila Software that displays the head of a guitar and a graphical tuning display. By tapping on the tuning bolts, that specific note's tuner comes up, and users align the tuning rod on the bar.

ShoZu is a mobile photo uploading application that can access up to 50 media sites, allowing you to post and upload your pictures to any of those sites without ever opening the browser. Users can also have ShoZu download feeds from sites such as Flickr and even podcasts.

You're at work or taking a day on the town and can't figure out where you might enjoy eating. Urbanspoon takes the guesswork away from you, randomly selecting any restaurant from a partially-filtered list from the entire city and providing you with an arbitrary opinion on where you might like to go.
