Great tools, but the one I’m really dying for is a way to get shared Google calendars to show up on the calendar in my iPhone and into MobileMe. Caloboration gets them into iCal, but after that I’m stuck… I can’t see them on MobileMe or on my iPhone. Either I’m missing something obvious that lets me do it, or else we need a great app to give us this functionality.

Sorry, I don’t use iPhone so can’t help you here. My suggestion would be to check similar apps that we profile on MUO directory. I am pretty sure there is an app that can do stuff you’re looking for.

I like Make Beliefs Comix and see a lot of potential for use with blogs. MTV Music is also cool and can be of help to those maintaining music blogs.
