Below is a diagram of the many useful applications I use and how they can be used by a geologist in the field (click on the image to view it full size).

All of the applications shown are freely available (although some are ‘trial’ or ‘lite’ versions of paid apps).

Disclaimer: If you break your iPhone in the field, drop it in a rockpool etc. it is totally not my fault ;)

Update: A quick google around indicates that I’m not the first to think of this. Does anyone else have any useful app suggestions?

Another Update (3/9/09): There’s been quite a bit of discussion of this elsewhere – here’s some links.
