Apple Inc, makers of the 3G iPhone, is keeping users busy with a host of new applications from its new App Store on iTunes.

iPhone 3G was unveiled in June but the new smartphone didn't appear to offer anything new for music fans. However, thanks to the subsequent launch of the App Store on iTunes, iPhone users can download a host of applications to add new functions to the device. Many of them are music-oriented and all are made specifically for the new phone.

More than 10 million applications were downloaded through the App Store shortly after the new iPhone release. Some apps are free while others carry a fee. Most of the apps work on the Wi-Fi-compatible iPod Touch.

A popular app is the new personalized Internet radio service that allows Pandora users to access and stream all their stations, as well as create new ones. It quickly became the third-most-popular free download in the App Store's first week.

AOL Radio app is also available that lets users stream any AOL or CBS Radio stations via the iPhone's Wi-Fi connection. CBS stations can also be streamed over the wireless network connection on new models, and the company plans to add wireless-network support for AOL Radio streams soon.
