Starting today, we'll be giving you the breakdown of the most notable iPhone applications released each day. Sometimes they will be the most useful, other times the coolest, and sometimes just the weirdest. Whatever the adjective, they'll always be the most interesting.

Drunk Call seems like a joke app, but it might actually be very useful. The application claims to "take the difficulty out of operating a phone". While this seems funny, try using your iPhone next time you're hammered. There's a good chance you'll call the wrong person (contact selection takes some hand-eye coordination.) That being said, Drunk Call allows you to manually add contacts (and their Home/Mobile/etc number) to the application, which you can then call from within the app. In other words, they are trying to keep you from calling your boss, wife, mother, and whoever else you don't want to be speaking with while drunk. And if you're just thirsty for someone to speak with (and don't have anyone in mind), the app allows you to shake to select a random contact (of the one's you pre-selected). 

Now you'll just need to learn to go to Drunk Call, rather then Phone, when you're drunk. 

This application can also be useful if your kid wants to call someone from your iPhone, and you don't want to risk him calling your boss or 911.

If you're thinking "What?!? A Dunkin' Donuts app?" then you're just like I was. But this app, made by the folks over at DD, is extremely useful for coffee runs. Whether you're the office bi…intern…, or just a full-time coffee runner, this app is a godsend for you. The app allows you to grab everyone's order and make a Dunkin' Donuts run without forgetting anything, or writing anything down. 

Here's how it works (from DD):

1. INVITE: Launch the app, and log in to start a Run. New, you're the runner. Invite friends by email or mobile phone number. You must be registered before you can start a run.

2. ORDER: Select your order from the menu. We'll contact your friends to do the same. (They get an automated message).

3. RUN: Go get the goods. We'll compile all orders for you, and you can print it out or display it on your iPhone or iPod Touch.

4. ENJOY! Bring the goodies back, and enjoy the deliciousness, along with the hero worship from your friends. Invite, order, run, and enjoy.

Ah, the first official turn-by-turn navigation for the iPhone. Unfortunately, it costs like a real GPS does (on discount). This application claims to work seemlessly with the iPhone, and integrates its features into the phone well. This app does not support US roads. The $95 price tag is an introductory price that will go up after June 30th. If you live in Europe now is the time to snag this app (or wait for a cheaper turn-by-turn navigation app.) An update promises more language support.

Mosquito Repellent!
by Dworld Services

Category: Utilities
Price: $0.99 Buy

I'm gonna preface the description with one statement: I don't know if this works. The application claims to repel mosquitos by emitting very high frequency sounds that are inaudible to the human ear, but apparently keep mosquitos away. If it works, it's brilliant. But somehow I doubt it. Let us know if you tried it!
