Danny Gorog at APC has picked out ten of the best Australian-developed applications for iPhone owners. There's a useful emphasis on local information, with applications for travel information, weather and postcodes. We'd have thought there could have been a shout-out for perennial favourite Remember The Milk, but regardless there's lots of stuff here you'll want to be adding to your iPhone.

How To Check If You Have Access To Google's RCS Messaging
RCS messaging is here—thanks, Google—but there’s still a chance that you can’t flip the switch on it because, again, Google.

It's unfortunate that Cityrail/Sydney buses would not allow development to continue on the Sydney Metro app. I would have loved that functionality. I just wish that the NSW gov would get their act together and join the Google Transit Partner Program like Transperth has, so that transit information could be displayed in Google Maps.
I'm loving Pocket Weather AU (the app in the screenshot), as far as I'm concerned it's the BOM (har har).
Don't forget the Storyz app.
It's #1 in my list :)
