Since the iPhone 3G launch along with the 2.0 software update, I have seen tons of reviews about the apps that have become available in the App Store in iTunes.  While I have about 3 or 4 home screens filled with applications that are very cool and useful, I noticed there are quite a few missing that i would love to see added, and I bet you would  you to.  Here is my list, and please feel free to add your own.

  1. WordPress.  There is no arguing that WordPress is one the top blogging platforms out there today, and a native iPhone app for WordPress is on my top most wanted list.  Typepad already has an application released, but the good news is that WordPress is working on one.  I haven’t found much information yet, but in a preview video the application makes use of the iPhone camera and photo gallery, and it seems it will make mobile blogging one step easier.

  2. Hahlo.  As of right now, Twitterific is pretty much the only (and best) Twitter client for the iPhone.  For a while now, I have been using Hahlo on the iPhone, which is a web-based Twitter application.  I like the Twitterific app, but it’s still a bit quirky so I hope Hahlo is ready to roll out an app for themselves.

  3. FriendFeed.  Of course I had to mention FriendFeed.  They have done some great work lately on getting an iPhone compatible website up and running, but hey, we still want a native app here.  I haven’t seen any word on this, but I think it’s a safe bet they have something in the works.

  4. Brighkite.  Brightkite is one of my new favorite social networks.  It’s more location-based which is just begging for some integration with GPS and location based services.  The good news that it is in the works!  Hopefully, we can see a demo or some screenshots soon.

  5. IM Application.  The App Store has an AIM app, but I don’t know anyone who actually uses AIM anymore.  A multi-network IM application that would work with services like MSN and Yahoo would definitely be in the top most wanted list.  JiveTalk was an excellent web-based IM client, and if they would bring that as a native iPhone app it would be perfect.

Those are my top 5 most wanted iPhone applications, what are yours?
