Of all the things we do with our iPhones, one of the most popular is certainly taking and sharing photos. The best part is the iPhone allows us to do all the basics without even connecting to a computer.

However, there are apps available on the App Store that will help you take better photos and edit them before you upload them to MobileMe, Facebook or Twitter. I’ve gathered a few of the best ones below.

Apple’s taken some heat for setting the bar too high for admission to its iPhone App Store, as well as for making the App Store the exclusive source for downloadable software. The fact that Apple is judging quality and safety at all, instead of just providing an online catalog, is being swung as a marketing hook for mobile platforms that fancy themselves more open, but a cynic would wonder whether they’re really tearing down the empire that they simply didn’t think to build first.

Rockstar Games’ critically-acclaimed Grand Theft Auto: Chinatown Wars is coming to the iPhone/touch this fall, the company says.
Released last year for the Nintendo DS, the game got reave reviews and is still the highest-rated DS game on GameRankings, with an average review score of about 93%.
“Chinatown Wars is a big fat raspberry to the competition; a masterclass in not only hand-held development, but video game design as a whole, exploring exactly how to craft Liberty City around the console’s unique strengths without compromising the series’ character,” said the Daily Telegraph.

Spotify is one of the best streaming music services out there, and it looks like it’s going to have the best iPhone app, too. Although the app is still waiting for approval from Apple, there’s already a preview video up, showing off a set of phenomenal features. Streaming your music collection to your iPhone is cool enough, but being able to save tracks and entire playlists to listen to when you’re not connected to the Internet is what makes this the new app I’m most looking forward to right now.

Just weeks after a Japanese gameplay video of Resident Evil 4 for the iPhone ended up on the Internet, the full iPhone version of Resident Evil 4 is now available to buy for $7.99.

While this doesn’t appear to be the full console game, it is a port that uses an engine very similar to the one we wrestled with in Resident Evil: Degeneration. Tricky controls or no, this is a setting that most gamers have extremely fond memories of, as Resident Evil 4, with its all-too-human villager zombies and beastly, flesh-rending monsters, is a fan favorite.

Google on Thursday released a version of its Latitude mobile application for the iPhone. But Apple, curiously, has decreed that it be a Web-based app and not a native iPhone app, which has raised some eyebrows.

In announcing Latitude for iPhone, a Google blog post noted that the application works much the same way as on other platforms like Android, Symbian, Blackberry, and Windows Mobile. It allows you to show your location on a map so that friends may find you.

We’ve seen a lot of unexpected, and sometimes cool, iPhone apps approved by Apple, but today’s news might top the rest. Apple has approved a marijuana–that’s right, marijuana–app called “Cannabis,” which lets users find the nearest (don’t worry: legal) supplier of medicinal marijuana.

Created by the founder of Ajnag.com, which was founded in 2006 and was the first medicinal marijuana locater on the Web, the new app is quick and easy to use. Simply open it up on your iPhone or iPod Touch and you’ll see a map with the nearest distributors. The app gives you information on each of the locations, and even step-by-step directions with Google Maps.
