There are hundreds of new applications in the wild today for the iPhone, and I’ve just started to use a few. It’s hard to say which is the best just yet, but I like a lot of the radio plugins and the AOL instant messenger functionality which is finally coming to the iPhone. The remote control will be exciting to test today with my Mac Mini on the widescreen tv.

One thing that is lacking is a lot of server utilities, enabling you to control or monitor a server from afar. This would be a big boon to sysadmins around the world. We’ll see what comes up in the next few days.

Will update this later as the apps get downloaded.

UPDATE: AOL IM is quite nice. I’m also having fun with a couple of the radio applications. The Tuner application has search, which puts it a bit ahead of the other radio application visuaRadio. Both seem to have access to Shoutcast, but I recognized a few Live365 feeds on visuaRadio. I expect to see a few more radio applications working shortly. Virgin (free) does not download for some reason, but AOL Radio is downloading properly and gives you 100s of CBS and AOL stations.

Internet radio is about to explode. Sell your XM and Sirrus stock.
