There's tons of great stuff for the iPhone. This month's Keyboard magazine reviewed a cool mic from Blue, and a 5.99 recording app that looks like it's excellent (you can export wav files via WiFi, etc.). There's beat creators that let you export wav files, there's sequencers, tuners, tons of stuff.
If you use iTunes, I you can go to the app store inside the itunes store and search around.
iPhone is really the way to go all around, it's pretty amazing, IMO.

Thanks Suz! I've found a few apps that I think suites my needs: Xewton music studio, record free, rhymebook, perfect rhyme, companion synonyms and thesaurus. It's a really good little pocket computer. It's not just a phone, it's something more.

FourTrack is a good one...it's a Four Track! Lets you record to the iPhone, bounce and mix there or send the wav's to the PC or Mac via WiFi. Also has some basic metronome stuff and drums to keep you in time.

When I got out of the music business in 1994 because of the coming computer revolution, my partner moved into comunications. He tried to explain about this stuff was coming. i admit I did not get it. How he knew all this back then is amazing.

Beatmaker is pretty damn amazing. Sometimes I think that app is worth the price of the iPhone alone... More for creating beats, but you can expand it to do all kinds of things. I use it in my live performance. FingerBeat is pretty great too, but not as expandable as BeatMaker. With Beatmaker, I can download purcussion Samples (or any kind of samples for that matter), import them into the app, then assign each sample to a trigger inside the app, and trigger different percussion samples in my performances. It's a whole world, and opens up all kinds of possibilities.

You can also loop your samples, create patterns, create arrangements, with both Beatmaker, and FingerBeat. FingerBeat is cheaper and easier to get into. BeatMaker has a steeper learning curve, and costs a little more. If you're playing with a loop pedal (like I am), apps like these introduce all kinds of fun.

I'm about to buy beatmaker. Last time I looked at the app I couldn't see the midi export function, but maybe I was blind or they've updated the app. It seems pretty nice. Think, that's one kind of app I will put some time in when I got time.
