Apple Store
Free
What It Has: After quite some time, an official Apple Store iPhone App has been released, and according to Apple, is your gateway to "...do all things Apple." While that may be a tad of an overstatement, Apple Store, nonetheless, is a very richly detailed app. Not only does it have functionality to pre-order the iPhone 4, but you can also purchase iPods, Macs, Macbooks, and any Apple product (and if you're confused, most products have a nifty Q&A section). You can also schedule 'One to One' appointments with Apple Staff, along with many other handy little features.
What It's Missing: Why Apple chose to release an app on an iPhone pre-order day, where their online stores have routinely crashed; is beyond me. No version for the iPad quite yet could also be a turn off to some users, but one is expected soon. I actually used this app to pre-order my own iPhone 4, but due to connection issues, the app crashed several times. I encountered the infamous "There was a problem connecting..." screen more than once. However, it's understandable due to the massive amount of iPhone pre-orders taking place today, and will most likely improve with time.
