Today’s Top 10 features the best iPhone applications that should be ready for your iPhone as soon as you pull the shiny monolith from its coveted black box.

1) 101 Cookbooks: Cooking web site 101 Cookbooks has created an iPhone interface for searching for recipes on the go with your iPhone. Find it here:

2) goMovies: goMovies provides a nice interface for looking up movie showtimes from movie site Fandango by zip code. I wouldn’t be at all surprised to see more of these in short time, but for now this looks like a winner.

3) iPhlickr: I’d be surprised if Flickr doesn’t come up with their own iPhone interface, but they’ve been sketchy with their mobile interface in the past, so this cool iPhlickr app offers a nice way to browse Flickr pics.

4) iPhoneDigg: Get the latest news getting dugg through the really nice iPhone app for digg. It’s well organized and even offers the digg count.

5) iActu: iActu provides a really cool newsstand interface for popular news outlets like the New York Times, Wall Street Journal, and more. Not only is the homepage cool, but browsing headlines is also a breeze.

6) Gas.app: Find the nearest and cheapest gas station by giving the iPhone Gas.app your zip code. Not only do you get a quick overview of the offerings, but you can also click the station to get a Google Map view. I doubt that it integrates with the iPhone’s Google Maps interface at this point, but I would assume in time it could be done…

7) iZoho: We’ve covered the online office suite Zoho plenty on Lifehacker, and the innovative service was quick to push out iPhone-capable versions of Zoho Writer, Zoho Sheet, and Zoho Show. The iPhone can display PDFs, Word docs, and Excel spreadsheets, but with Zoho’s tools you can actually edit some of them.

Google Reader: The Google Reader interface is sort of a javascript bookmarklet hack for Google Reader, and honestly, I’m not entirely sure this one will work on the iPhone, but the interface it provides—if it does work—offers a really friendly way to browse your Google Reader feeds. Find out how it works here:

9) iPhoneChat: Much to the disappointment of many, the iPhone does not come with a version of iChat built in. The iPhoneChat web application lets you log into AIM, view your contacts, and handle tabbed chats. Until a full-fledged local iChat app becomes available (I’m assuming it will eventually), this is a great alternative.

10) OneTrip Shopping List: By far the most simple but surprisingly useful iPhone app yet to be developed, OneTrip has a simple and ingenious interface for quickly organizing and building a shopping list. It’s simple, and any iPhone user should find it incredibly useful.

If you’re one of the lucky folks who snagged an iPhone today, have fun trying out the new apps, and let us know how they work out for you. Know of a great iPhone application we didn’t mention? Tell us about it in the comments.
