”Google Optimizes More Apps For iPhone
Following up on their optimization of GCal and GDocs for the iPhone, Google's gone and made their entire Google portal Apple phone friendly.

Google Docs Launches on Cellphones: Read-only For Now

Top Five iPhone Apps of the Moment
Here are the top five most useful iPhone apps we've come across so far.
• iPhone AIM Chat: No iChat? Use Web-based iChat. AIM only.
• The Gas finder app and OneTrip shopping list: Save money and time
• Digg: An interface to browse digg. Great until Digg makes an iPhone-friendly version of their site.
• Chess: No games on the iPhone means this bandwidth light app will occupy you on the bus, plus make you look like a pseud-intellectual if you play this instead of Bejewelled.
• LivePhone: Look up Xbox Live profiles. Great for gamerscore nerds like us. Ok, me.
