3: UP by Disney*Pixar
DisneyPixar is one of the most successful animation studios of all time. Churning out hit after hit, the studio uses computer generated imagery to create a wonderful storyline and character set. Their newest movie, Up, continues this great tradition. To celebrate this movie, DisneyPixar has released an iPhone or iPod Touch game that allows you to get in on the action. Play through 24 different adventures on your quest to guide Carl’s house through the bright blue sky. With amusing graphics and addicting game play, the $4.99 out of your pocket is a great investment.
2: The Sims 3 for iPhone
This seems eerily similar to actual game sales, with The Sims beating out Myst. Back in the late '90s, one game seemed to be on everybody’s mind - The Sims. As the game has changed, the fan base has grown by countless people. On June 2, EA launched the newest iteration of the game, The Sims 3. The game, however, was preceded by a version on the iPhone on May 29. Just like the real game, you get to control your Sim, move him around, and interact with the real world. Frankly, it feels as though you are playing the first iteration of the game in terms of style and game play, but the concepts are brand new and shiny. Though the cost of $9.99 seems steep, for what you are getting, it is worth it.
And the #1 iPhone application from May 2009 is…
1: Bento
At the end of April I was contacted by a company called FileMaker about a new product they were going to release for the iPhone. Though I could not see it in practice until its May 1 launch, the demo that they showed me was absolutely amazing. Ever since that point, I have been enamored by Bento. Bento is a database system that I use almost every single day on my phone. I keep recipes, shopping lists, exercise logs, and even my checkbook on it. I use it so much that my class notes are organized on it and my Blogcritics review list is stored on it. Think of a list, or really anything, that you need organized and Bento can do it for you. Plus, it has a great user interface, a good look, and feels truly natural to the iPhone. At only $4.99, this simple application will make your life easier, and I strongly urge you to buy it. Look for a full review of this title within a few weeks.

I bought Tap Tap Coldplay last month, and I'm eying the DMB edition, too. Crazy fun stuff, once you get into it!

I explored both Bento and Tap form to see which was the better database app. All in all, I think Tap Form came out the winner in my eyes. Before you give Bento your first place prize, you should check it out.

you think what?

the thing is, Bento is made by a native company and it has a desktop version, which means it is much easier to use

I just read "Police Powers" reviews on the iTunes store, this app does not pertain to police powers in USA, it is only good for people who live in the UK.
Also, all reviewers are complaining about the extremely small fonts.
I would like to know why do you rate this as a top 10 app and why not include the above mentioned details.

Titus, the app described to me listed it as information about america, so i went off of their description
