I'm looking for good examples of open source iPhone applications. Not tutorials, but complete applications that made it to the appStore. So far the best I've seen is
http://github.com/c99koder/lastfm-iphone - a LastFM client, a very well designed app, and I am curious if there are others like it.
Any suggestions are welcome!
Thanks in advance.

Apple's iPhone/iOS platform is generally classified as a closed ecosystem because Apple has complete control over both the software (the operating system and apps that can be installed) and the hardware (the phone itself).
Google's Android is considered an Open Source mobile OS, while Apple's iOS is considered closed source and each has its own benefits and issues.
While Apple's iOS is closed-source software, that doesn't mean that all the apps available for Apple's mobile platform are also proprietary. Indeed, you'll find a solid number of free and open source apps available on the App Store.
First launched in 2008, the open source hub is launching its first apps for iOS and Android. To revist this article, visit My Profile, then View saved stories. To revist this article, visit My Profile, then View saved stories. GitHub is the largest repository of open source software in the world.
