Since Apple is planning to announce its iPhone application plans on Thursday, Macworld’s editors have listed their 25 most-wanted programmes. You can read the list at PC World.

The list includes AIM-style messaging, a PDF viewer and a unit converter. Access to an alternative phone service is strangely absent. Inadvertently the list serves to highlight how limited the pre-installed applications are on the iPhone. Expect users of other brand’s smartphones to look at the list and shake their heads in smug disbelief. If Apple’s application review process differentiates between pay-for and free apps, to the detriment of the former, here’s hoping that after Thursday we see a lot of free (useful) applications.
