In the last instalment of our top iPhone apps of 2009 we looked at the top useful apps. And whilst it's all well and good for your iPhone to be handy when looking for a public toilet when you've been caught short, it's also nice to have some fun with it.

That's where these apps come in. These are the top 10 entertainment apps. Ok, so some of them might be less entertaining than others but what they lack in entertainment they make up for in information.

Really, we should have called this list the top 10 entertainment/information apps. But that just sounds rubbish doesn't it? Agreed? Good, let's move on.

Music apps are the heartbeat of any iPhone. That's why there are so many of them available in the app store.

In fact, there are more music apps than any other type of app. An interesting statistic is that 39% of all the apps available are music apps. Then again, it's important to remember that 57% of all statistics are made up on the spot and have no factual basis. Make of that what you want.

Whatever the truth may be, there is no denying that there are a shed-load of music apps. Here are the 10 that you really should have....

Online supermarket Ocado has launched an iPhone app - allowing users to browse their virtual aisles and shop for over 18,000 products.

Ocado, which is partly owned by John Lewis and stocks Waitrose-branded products, says the app is just "the first step of a journey that will eventually see Ocado available on several digital platforms".

The app stores all of the product info on the iPhone so browsing can be done offline. The order will be complete once a connection is made.

I can see this catching on and other supermarkets getting in on the act. Online grocery shopping is a massive business and free apps will surely help to grow the industry further.

Sure, having a baby can be a huge drain on your finances. Yes, having a baby will seriously impact your 8-hours-a-night sleep-plan. And, of course, you may as well forget about any sort of social life you may have had.

But a baby also brings with it new possibilities - including a whole new world of tech you were probably never even aware of.

Tech like the range of baby monitors announced by VTech. VTech has taken its expertise in telephony technology and applied it to the range. Technology such as the DECT (Digital Enhanced Cordless Telecommunication) and HD sound, which guarantees crystal clear sound and zero interference from any other device.

Canadian company Datawind, the guys behind the Pocket Surfer, has entered the netbook market with the UbiSurfer.

Spec wise I'm afraid it gets absolutely blown out of the water compared to other netbooks available. An Arm processor with just 128GB of RAM is pretty poor. As is the SSD of just 1GB. But it does have a few features going for it that make it an attractive proposition.

Firstly, it's tiny. If you're looking for a really compact netbook you'll struggle to get more compact that this. The screen is just 7-inches and it weighs just 700g. Secondly it's only £159.99. Lastly, and by far the most crucial aspect of the UbiSufer is that it comes with a pre-installed Vodafone SIM that will allow 30 hours of GPRS web surfing a month. It's not 3G but it's better than a poke in the eye.

If more than 30 hours are needed a £5.99 a month fee will allow unlimited usage. The 30 hours a month deal lasts for a year, and then it's just £29.99 a year after that. Roaming charges are pretty cheap too - just 5p a minute in Europe and the States.

30 hours should be more than enough for most surfers - the netbook has Wi-Fi as well so it wouldn't be totally dependent on the Vodafone connection.

So overall, fairly poor netbook, fairly good data deal. For £159.99 it might be worth a punt. Get it online from Maplin.
