Since the creation of Apples app store there have been around 2 billion downloads of over 100,000 different applications for the iPhone and iTouch. And while most of them are somewhat useful here’s a list of the best 10 I’ve found after sifting threw hundreds of others.

Without further adieu here we go.

Fring

This app is great, it lets you access msn, yahoo messenger, AIM, twiter and a few other IM programs all from one app. Another great thing is it lets you access skype to make calls using wifi for free anywhere in the world to other Skype users.

Shazam

Ever had this common problem, your listening to a song and you don’t know what the song is. Now with the Shazam app all you have to do is hold your iPhone up to the music and after about 15-20 seconds it will tell you what the song is. It’s remarkable accurate.

Convertbot

As you all know there are a lot of diffrent types of measurements out there. To measure mass there’s grams, grains, pounds, stones, tons, and more. And if you want a tool that can convert units then convertbot is the app for you. There are 15 diffrent catagories all with 4 to 138 units with in them. It even converts currency.

Classics

This app was once featured in an iPhone ad. It contains 23 full length classic novels to read with a book like interface. Once your selected the book you want to read you just slide your finger accross the screen like your turning a page, and well… it turns the page. Titles range from Odyssey to 20,000 leagues under the sea.

Wikiamo

Wikiamo is a easy to use wikipedia reader for the iPhone. Browse any article in any language that is offered by wikipedia. Also once your on a page you can skip to different sections with the touch of a button. (Just remember that anyone can edit wikipedia so beware what you believe, click here for funny article about wikipedia edits)

Flixter

This app lets you browse recently released movies, ratings, reviews, cast lists and much more. It also lets you view trailors and find out whats playing and where amongst you’re local theaters. A must have for any movie buff.

Paintshop Mobile

This app lets you take photos that you take on your phone and edit them with basic effects. Crop, lighten, increase contrast, soften, and add others effects such as black and white. The edited photos then can be saved back into your camera roll.

Remote

This app is just like its title, a remote. With it you can change the song playing on your itunes to anything else in your library as well as change the volume. This app uses wifi so it will work from anywhere your wifi reaches.

Looptastic

There are a few looptastic apps all done by sound trends. They all work the same way, you drag different loops onto a remix board to create your own looping soundtrack, control tempo, volume, and adjust different effects. A very fun app and a must have anyone interested in music.

AirVideo

One of my all time favorites. It solves a common problem, you have tons of movies on your computer but cant watch them on your phone because you haven’t converted them to a compatable format. After you set it up you can select what you want to watch and watch it with live conversion. This works from anywhere in the world with wifi or even 3g (although beware it could use up your 3g usage rather quickly)
