Video roundup: New apps coming to the iPhone
Apple announces a bevy of new applications for the iPhone, including those for eBay users, mobile bloggers, and baseball fans.

The apps range from monkey slinging to medical imaging and should be available sometime in early July (along with the iPhone 2.0 software required to run it), according to Apple representatives.
