1Password, like its big brother on the Mac, is an application which stores all of your usernames and passwords so you don't have to keep track of them. Additionally, 1Password can automatically fill in web login forms with one tap.

Files is a file storage application for your iPhone. You can think of it as a glorified flash drive because it lets you put just about anything you want onto your iPhone for retrieval later. The nice thing about using your iPhone for this purpose is that you can actually read quite a few of these files on the go, without a computer. There are quite a few apps of this kind on the App Store, but Files does have its share of unique features.

Air Sharing is another file storage application. Like the rest, its primary purpose is to turn your iPhone into a glorified flash drive with the added ability of checking out a majority of the files you store. However, Air Sharing comes with quite a few extras that really make it worth the extra cost.

OmniFocus was one of the few applications I was really looking forward to at the App Store's launch.

The latest task management application from QSoft, Inc, uses text and voice-recognition input to let you jot down bits of information you'd like to remember, or upcoming errands that you need to attend to. The organizing categories are Time, Things and errands shared with People, and users can even add events externally via IM or the web.

I'm one of those 'starving artists' types, and I suppose the opportunity to doodle on something more personal than the nearest napkin at the oldest diner is appealing.
