Instapaper ($3.99)
There must be many a time when you come across certain web pages that you wish to go through at your sweet leisure time. You simply bookmark those pages or use Safari’s Reading list. Similarly, you may save web pages to your iPhone and read them at your convenience once you download the Instapaper iPhone app from Marco Arment.
So, the next time when you’re surfing the web on your Mac, PC, iPhone, iPad, or iPod touch and come across a page you want to read later, select the special Instapaper Read Later bookmarklet (a special bookmark that uses JavaScript). Read the page any time you want with the Instapaper iPhone app.
OldBooth ($1.99)

WordsWorth ($1.99)

Glee (free but $1.99 to $2.99 for songs)
