Good overview. I don’t have an iPhone, but I do have an iPod Touch, which shares some of the same features. Useful things to know.

Joking, of course Maybe you could take one for Aunt Ruth, who knows?

Some travel-related apps I really love (added non-travel related in a comment to your post about your top apps):

Siphon – I make a lot of international calls. Therefore I’m using a VOIP account ( from justvoip.com) to keep the costs very low. What’s cool about Siphon, is that it provides an interface similar to the normal phone, but whenever you make a call it goes through your VOIP account, which is MUUCH cheaper than a real call. Ah, you need to be connected to a wireless network to do that, but I guess that’s not a problem, since you can find free wifi everywhere these days. One mention though – you won;t find this app on AppStore. You need to install it from Cydia, which means you need to jailbreak the iPhone first.

Planets – a little app that gives some useful information about planets, based on your time and location. I’m not into astronomy, but sometimes I’m curious when the sun will rise / set. It also has an awesome picture showing the day / night on earth at the current time.

And if we are talking about traveling, there’s tons of dictionaries available for the iPhone. I use KTDict C-E (for Chinese) every day! It really changed the way I’m learning Chinese, since I can input Chinese characters by just drawing them with my finger, so I can look them up instantly even if I don’t know how to read them! For Japanese there is Kotoba, also a really good dictionary.
