iDevice Rumors - It's unusual for an iphone app to cost more than few bucks, but with hundreds of thousands of apps available, and the convenience of iTunes billing, it's easy to sink a fortune. Thankfully, some developers have found a way to cover that cost with advertising, others belong to the open source software movement, and some are even motivated by the kindness of their hearts. That last one may not be true. In any case, read on to discover the best, free iphone apps, whether you're cheap, broke, or both.

Stitcher Radio (Free, Stitcher, Inc.) While it's not clear who or what a "stitcher" is, this app makes listening to podcasts on your iPhone or iPod Touch easier than ever. In the default iPod app, podcasts must first be downloaded through iTunes individually or by subscription. This means loads of tedious searching, waiting, and syncing. Stitcher Radio bypasses all that by allowing the user to stream the podcast directly, just like a YouTube video. Add to this great features like live-streaming radio, and Stitcher Radio gives iTunes a run for its money, all without costing a dime.

VLC (Free, Applidium) VLC for Windows and Mac has no shortage of followers, and with good reason: this media player will play just about any type of file you throw at it, and it's free of ads, free to download, and totally open source. Now, Applidium has ported VLC to the iPhone, and it does not disappoint. While other apps can only play native.mp4 media files, VLC for iPhone will tackle.avi,.mkv, and countless others you may not have even heard of. VLC for iPhone is naturally free to download, but be sure to get your copy fast, as iDevice Rumors has it that its days in the App Store are numbered.
