When Apple ships its iPhone 2.0 update–and the accompanying App Store for distributing third-party software for the phone–you won’t have to wait too long for native iPhone apps built by Google programmers.

It sure will be nice to see some more local app offerings from them though – especially on Day 1 of the new App Store. Which ones would you all most like to see? Reader and Docs for me please …
