Exciting applications on their way to iPhone

Two of my most anticipated applications for iPhone OS have finally been announced. First up we have the hugely versatile ListPro from Ilium Soft. This has been one of my favourite Windows Mobile applications for years and truly is versatile; you can use it as a basic checklist for shopping or a full on expenses tracker for business travel managing different locations, currencies, totals etc. It was speculated that only a viewer application would be released to work alongside the desktop client however Ilium Soft have confirmed this will be an editable client so you can add and make changes to your lists on the move. I genuinely believe this will prove to be one of the most useful applications available on the iPhone OS.
The second application I was excited to hear about was TomeRaider with the upcoming version 4 marked for an iPhone release. This is a paid for document and ebook reader with many free documents available for download. The reason I think this will be a big draw on the iPhone OS, especially for iPod Touch users is the ability to handle large files such as a full offline Wikipedia document which is also available for free. An offline version of Wikipedia for Touch users or iPhone users in poor network coverage areas is considered by many to be a digital holy grail.
These are two applications that will be a must have for me when released.
