New iPhone music to users' ears

When it was unveiled last month, Apple's new iPhone didn't appear to offer anything new for music fans.

But thanks to the subsequent launch of the Apple 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 iPhone.

The weekend after the new iPhone's release, more than 10 million applications were downloaded through the Apple Store. Some are free, some carry a fee, and most also work on the Wi-Fi-compatible iPod Touch.

Here are some of the more notable music applications available. All are free, unless otherwise noted.

Pandora: The personalised internet radio service created an application for the iPhone 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 Apple Store's first week.

AOL Radio: This application 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.
