3. RunKeeper Free
The prospect of Nike+ but better and for free might sound unlikely, but that’s what RunKeeper Free provides.

Activities can be shared online, and treadmill runs can be entered manually.

Pretty much from nowhere, Gorillacam arrived in December 2009 from the creators of the Gorillapod tripods. It mashes together a slew of features to hugely improve an iPhone’s camera (timer, multi-shot, spirit-level, on-screen grid, ‘press anywhere’ capture), meaning you can bin a half-dozen standalone apps that offer similar things.
