Genius Apps
You have to turn on Genius Recommendations via your iPhone. Launch the App Store app, go to Featured, and tap the Genius tab at the top of the screen. Turn on Genius. You're going to have to type in your password and agree to the terms before the system goes live.
Genius Shows you what apps Apple thinks you'll like based on what you have on your iPhone.

Automatically Fill Free Space with Songs
No one mentioned this super-cool feature at the event. You can turn it on under the Music tab when you plug in your iPhone/iPod.
Where Are the Ringtones?
Looking around the iTunes Store on your computer for some dope ringtones? Well, stop. You need to fire up your iPhone to find the ringtones of your dreams. Launch the iTunes app, tap More, and you'll see the option for ringtones.
You can preview the ringtones from the app and when you buy a ringtone (we bought "Jump" by Van Halen, RAD!) you can assign it as your default tone or to a contact. At press time, there wasn't a top-10 list of ringtones, probably because no one could find them.
You Can Still Roll Your Own Ringtones with Participating Songs
You can still create your own ringtones in iTunes with participating songs for 99¢. You save 30¢, and you get to pick which part of the song you want to become your ringtone. Or you can do it for free in GarageBand.
