With the recent surge in iPhone applications popping up everywhere, it might seem nearly impossible to decide which ones to try out. I have lined up the top 10 applications your iPhone won't be complete without. The following selection is based on parameters such as usability, price, utilization of system resources, stability and update speed.
1.The first application to really cause serious change in the way we use the iPhone is the Installer, which surpassed other competing applications. This app concentrates all available applications, allowing you to receive updates on the different apps. Its simplicity and the fact that it enables to download and install applications without any need for a computer have definitely earned Installer a place of honor in the iPhone application pantheon. All you need are some good sources for updates:
Bigboss: sleepers.net/iphone.xml
ModMyiFone: modmyifone.com/installer.xml
AppTappOfficial: repository.apptapp.com
Conceited Software: conceitedsoftware.com/iphone
Ste Packaging: psmxy.org/iphone-apps

2.The second must-have application on my list is Customize, which allows you to change themes, change the locations and order of the different icons and much more. An awesome tool for anyone who appreciates personalization! Here you'll find a video explaining how to use this terrific application:
3.The next favorite on my list is the amazing and addictive game iPhysics. If you're not familiar with this yet, go ahead and download! You'll be hooked in no time. The real upside here is that there is an endless amount of levels, and you can always get more from the sources I listed above. Check it out!
4.The next useful application I think deserves a mention is MobileRSS, an application which allows you to update your iPhone with your latest subscription feeds. Here's how to get started:
5. Navizon's Virtual GPS is the best application I've encountered, and would rank as number one if it weren't for the fact that it is available only in a limited range of countries. This application enhances the iPhone to the point of near perfection as a mobile device, lacking only 3G capabilities. Below is a link to a great video shedding more light on using this app:
6. My next application of choice is Converter, the amazingly simple app allowing you to convert currencies, sizes and volumes through online updates. A great and handy tool for any World Citizen or frequent tourist. Check out this video and start converting your heart out:
7. Another fun and useful application is Locations, which displays footage from cameras around the world, including traffic cams, which might save you from those pesky traffic jams. I use this application regularly to save time in the car.

8. The next winner in our application list is Apollo, a simple and user-friendly instant chat application, which works with most chat suits. To find out how you can get started chatting on your iPhone, check out this video:
9. The following program, although not freebies, made into this list nonetheless. Photodial and Voicedial both allow you to easily speed dial using pictures or voice commands. The usability is amazing, and the Photodial option to access the dial screen by a double-click on the Home button make this an ultimate favorite.

10. The last application on my list is Wedict, a dictionary application allowing you to add new dictionaries in a multitude of languages.
