This week we released two must-have applications that run on the iPhone and iPhone 3g: an AIM client and AOL Radio. They’ve both been generating a lot of buzz as some of the best free iPhone applications at launch. AOL has been working hard to create great mobile experiences such as the main portal that was revamped last year, AOL MyMobile and the launch of a number of free mobile applications.

Let’s take a look at each of these new iPhone apps or you can learn more at AOL Mobile

AIM for iPhone

Aim is the first IM client for the iPhone and offers full IM functionality in a handset version. We’ve been working with Apple on this one for a while and demoed an early version at Macworld this year. We’re now offering free IM clients for both iPhone and for the Windows Mobile platforms, so that you can access them directly without paying any monthly subscription charges to your mobile carriers.

AOL Radio for iPhone

AOL Radio provides access to hundreds of local radio stations on your iPhone through a partnership with CBS. Since the quality of music is adjusted based on your bandwidth, you’ll get the best sound with 3G connectivity.

Note: Though I work at AOL, the views expressed here are my own thank-you-very-much.
