With the release of iPhone 3G (and software update v2.0), iPhone and iPod touch users can download and install applications. One of the most useful applications is undoubtedly epocrates to lookup drug monographs.

Recently Google has launched a new feature for its Book Search engine called Library. It basically allows users to create a library of books for either personal use or to share with others.
