I don't think I've ever fallen in love with an app as quickly as Bebot. Not only is it a pretty darn powerful synthesizer with an interesting touchscreen interface, but that robot. That robot! He makes you want to play something, anything, with those cute little closed robot eyes and that dashing tux and that knowing smile. If you just want to make funny robot noises, that's easy enough, but for the musically inclined, there's a really surprising amount of features under the hood, including analog filters, a delay/looping effect, chorus and overdrive effects, and even an autotune system. Oh, and because of the multitouch screen, you can play up to four waveforms at a time. In the hands of someone who knows what they're doing, this thing can be really impressive.
It's available from a company called Normalware (any app with that robot in it has basically sold me from now on -- there's even a t-shirt of the guy) on the App Store right now for $1.99.
The link above [In the hands of someone who knows what they're doing, this thing can be really impressive.] takes you to Jordan Rudess making real nice music with this app so it's capable of more than just creating "random noise"...
I've had this app for quite some time, (it was featured on the hilarious Eegra.com blog a while ago) and have been driving my cat insane with it ever since. The program is immensely amusing to look at and use, and perhaps most importantly, to show off to non-iPhone owners. The application of multi-touch in this instance has wowed many of my friends and acquaintances.
I have this app for occasional kicks but I've found that Android FX has more bang for 1/2 the price @ only 99¢ but for $2.98 get both! :) I'd also recommend you check out Melodica, Euphonics and Jasuto.
To get an instant map to any address, just go to your Address Book and right click on the address field of any one of your contacts and select "Map Of." The address will then be revealed in Google Maps on Safari. You can do the same if a data detector determines there is an address in an e-mail in Mail.

Thanks for the tip! That app IS fun!!
Flight Of The Conchords should partner up with them and sponsor it through HBO - it's right up the FOTC alley!
