Physics Apps for iPhone: Any Advanced Options?

In summary, the person is looking for Physics apps for their iPhone but has only found low-level ones aimed at high school students. They are asking for recommendations for more advanced apps, but the other person doubts there are many available due to the limited processing power and input capabilities of the iPhone. They suggest using DropBox to store and access papers.

I've always wanted to put some Physics apps on my iPhone, but the ones I keep coming across are way too low-level; they seem geared to high school kids who are first encountering the material...

Any recommendations for apps that are more advanced?, like upper-division or graduate student level?

DropBox? I store my .pdf archive of papers in DropBox (along with all the .bib files and annotations) and have access to them on whichever computer I use. If you have a particularly dry paper or two, it also doubles as a sleep-aid!

As for more advanced apps, I don't think you'll find a whole lot since the processing power on the iPhone is a whole lot less than what you'd have on a desktop, or even a netbook, and the input, while great for texting and e-mails, also isn't that great for extended input. Just my 2 cents worth.
