Cool little iPhone apps for musicians

At the risk of starting an iPhone clique

Mapex masterclass - drum rudiments/exercises on your iPhone
Tempo - a cool little metronome with flashing LEDS on the screen
Shazam - play a tune into your phone and it tells you the song, artist and album (also available by dialling 2580 on a mobile)

Anyone got any more?

I decided against the Iphone because despite the emails you can't use the GPS or Compass features to lead you to buried treasure. Apparently there isn't an app for that. :o(

for someone that doesnt have an Iphone(are they worth it?), i think id like one, although for someone that has spent too much on flippin phone bills over the years so anything more than 30 quid bill comes thru i will throw it in the irwell.

All hail the iPhone.

The best ap I have found is Wolfgangs Concert Vault. Loads of superb radio broadcasts available ( it does need wifi and broadband though)
Manetron.... A Mellotron in you pocket... Great fun.
Nlogfree.... Nice little pocket synth with some cool sounds
Radio Box.... Internet radio great stuff
Gigbaby.... Basic four track recorder and gig notes ap

Best wishes

John

ps I want an iPad ( with wings) for birthday ;-)

If the camera on the Iphone was any good I'd probably have one. I went for the Sony Ericsson Satio because of the camera. I don't take a camera anywhere, but I take my phone everywhere. The camera on a phone is crucial to me. Got some great shots in Egypt and the US with my last phone camera.
