Medialets have put together a comparison of the iPhone App Store and the Android Marketplace after the first 24 hours. There is nothing really Earth-shattering in the data, but it does provide some insight into the similarities between iPhone and G1 users. Basically, it illustrates that both parties are interested in the same sorts of apps, given the fact that the distributions are fairly similar.

Handshake makes it easy to share your contact information and photos with people around you. Works across EDGE, WiFi, and 3g on the iPhone and iPod Touch.

The app is free (AppStore link), but it involves advertising. You can buy Handshake Premium (AppStore link) for $2.99, which is advertisement-free.

Another nice application became free today. The price dropped from $1.99 to $0. The app is called Record (AppStore link). This is audio and voice recorder for iPhone.

• Launch and shake to start recording, or if you prefer, use the button on the lower right toolbar.
• Pause and resume recordings.
• Search recording titles.
• Organise recordings into folders.
• Setup smart folders based on keywords, or the location you recorded.
• Email recordings from your iPhone (15 minute recordings or shorter).
• Rename and reorder recordings.
• Seek and pause during playback.
• Compressed IMA4 AIFF format.
• Records when iPhone is locked.

NOTE: iPod Touch 2nd Gen users will need an Apple headset with microphone to use Record.

This application is developed by Jay Freeman, the creator of the Cydia. Veency is a free app that allows iPhone owners to remotely control their iPhone from PC or Mac desktop via a VNC client.

Here are some of the features:

• Launch applications on your iPhone
• Reply to emails, text messages, and more
• Rearrange icons
• Lock/Unlock your iPhone
• Browse through Photos and Contacts

Of course you cannot do two finger gestures with this app. All other actions can be done with the click of your mouse. The only area in which Veency fails tragically at is when opening any video recording application on the iPhone.

This application is avaliable for jailbreaked iPhones via Cydia installer.

Be sure to restart your iPhone after installing Veency and connect to the server using a Wi-Fi connection. We recommend using UltraVNC or TightVNC to connect your Windows desktop. If you're using a Mac, we recommend Chicken VNC.

Here is a video demonstration:

Remote access software or remote desktop software is software that allows you to access a remote computer.
