I would be remiss if I did a travel iPhone app series and didn't mention skype, the ultimate way to connect with your contacts worldwide. Skype is one of the most important apps I use during travel for a few reasons:
1) call your skype contacts for free
2) call or text your skype contacts and specify your caller ID
3) conduct business as usual (if you want), even on the road
