I stumbled onto them while looking for circuit modeling apps.

This looks interesting, but costs $5.99

App Store - Electronic Toolbox Pro

I have electronic toolbox pro, it's pretty cool. I don't know that it's really worth the price but if somebody gets you a gift card and you are looking for stuff to buy go ahead and get it. Theres nothing in it you couldn't easily find online, but it's conveient to have so many little calculators and stuff right there on your phone.

Have you found anything like LSpice for the iphone?

Search for iCircuit

It's $10 though and doesn't have much more than the basic components (only a couple IC's, 555 is in there). Still fun to play around in!

What I like about it is how it intergrates features of the device into the schematics. It has an accelerometer which uses the data from the phones accelerometer and if you put in a speaker it uses the phones speaker.

That is pretty clever. I would love it if they had more stuff in there! Thanks for the tip.
