iPhone Apps for a Traveler ???
Hello mates, I need some suggestion on this, I'm looking for the list of apps which are useful and pretty necessary for a traveler? Because I'm going to write an article for a blog(friend). Please suggest me.

Yelp/Zagat - for businesses/food.
Trip it - to plan trips.
Gas buddy - if it's a road trip.
Kayak - if I need to plan a quick flight/book a room on the go.
Weather channel - Need to know the weather!
Bank/CC app - I know they aren't really travel apps but nice to be able to log in on the go and check finances.

I've used it twice so far (in Boston) and it has worked great both times. I set up a pickup time the night before, automated call goes to your cell phone when the cab arrives. You can punch numbers on the phone to let the driver know how long to wait. Home address is saved for reuse. It sure beats having to call early in the morning and talk to a dispatcher. Highly recommended.
