8: Yellowbook
We all know what the Yellowbook is. It is a phone book that has numbers of people, businesses, and governmental organizations. With Yellowbook for the iPhone, you simply type in what you want and your zip code. The application will then find related and similar businesses near you, and direct you towards them. It will also give you the address, a map to the location, and the phone number. Basically, it is a much smaller version of the phone book you get at your door. And, just like the Yellowbook that comes to your door, this version will not cost you a dime.
7: myGovernment
As you probably have learned by now, I am extremely into applications that help citizens learn about our government. myGovernment is one of these applications, and it is quite interesting. You can browse and search laws and proposals, look for senators by name, state, and nickname, and even get everybody’s contact information. As our legislators work on many important issues, myGovernment is essential to contact them and let your voice be heard. Plus, you don’t even need to crack open your wallet to get it.
6: Sirius XM
The iPhone application from Sirius XM was one of the most anticipated applications of the year. The application basically gives you access to Sirius Satellite Radio on your iPhone. This allows you to listen to sports, new music, or talk shows while wandering around your city. It also means that you no longer need to buy a dedicated device to get access. Though the Sirius XM application is free, you need to pay the monthly fee of $13 for service.
5: Local Gas Prices
I drive, and I drive a lot. Due to this, I often need to buy gas. With the price at the pump the way it is, I utilize online sources to discover the cheapest places for me to fill up. Now, I no longer need to go home, as I have a source on my iPhone that will tell me where to go. Local Gas Prices will list prices, find me the cheapest location, and show me how to get there. It also is able to show me the current trend in pricing, so I can wait until the perfect moment. As Local Gas Prices is a web application, there is no charge for it.

Just use google docs on the phone
it is easier and free

Google docs is nowhere near as inclusive, nor is it as useful. Having a dedicated application lets you open everything nativly, save it, email it, and, more importantly, use it when not online.
