Encyclopedias and other reference materials are heavy, but your iPhone fits nicely in the palm of your hand. Luckily, there are plenty of iPhone apps chock full of the stuff you need to know--everything from the secret to perfect pie crust, to the day’s news, and maps of Mars. Everybody needs that, right? --Ray Aguilera

Ratio is adapted from his new book of the same name, offering up the secrets to great cooking in the form of 32 magic ingredient ratios that cover everything from pizza dough to Hollandaise.

Omz:software · $4.99
Newsrack offers all the benefits of desktop RSS readers in a portable package. Even better, the app offers Google Reader integration for easy setup and portability of your feeds. It also downloads images for offline viewing. And, best of all, a single app is optimized for both the iPhone and iPad, so you’ll never be without a news fix.
Extra! Extra! Read all about it!
Midnight Martian · $0.99
Sure, Google Earth is cool, but Mars is the future. Mars Globe offers a 3D, rotatable view of the red planet, in your choice of either natural colors, or a color-coded elevation map based on laser altimeter data. And what’s cooler than Mars and lasers? Landmarks are labeled, and offer links to additional information online.
When you get abducted, at least you'll have a map.
Sophiestacation Software · $2.99
The mobile version of everyone’s favorite crowd-sourced reference website is OK, but Articles presents Wikipedia in an interface optimized for your iPhone. You can easily send article links via email, and the app stores recent articles for offline reading. The Safari-style multi-page browser makes it easy to switch between multiple pages.
A portable Wikipedia can turn you into a bar-bet champion.
Sharpest Cookie · $1.99
If a full-on RSS reader seems like a bit too much commitment, but you still like to keep an eye on what people are buzzing about online, check out Daily Zeitgeist. The app plugs into Google News, Digg, and other services, presenting popular stories in a visual manner. More popular links occupy more screen space, and as links get older, they darken to help you stay on top of breaking news.
News + a cool mod vibe.
