One of our favorite iOS apps to feature in this week’s must-have list lets you stream your media between your iOS devices, or from iTunes on your computer over your Wi-Fi network. AirView works in a similar way to the AirPlay feature already built-in to iOS, however, instead of streaming only to your AppleTV, you can stream straight to your iPhone, iPod touch, or iPad.

Microsoft Office users will be familiar with OneNote, the powerful note taking application for all of your ideas that syncs your notes with free Windows Live online storage account, and allows you to access them from virtually anywhere using your phone, computer, or web browser. Now the OneNote application is available for your iPhone, allowing you to make notes while you’re on the go so that you don’t forget another good idea. It’s also free for a limited time!

Cloud Connect Pro for your iPad allows you to leave your laptop at home while you’re on the go, but still gain access to the files you have stored on your Mac and PC, or online storage services like Dropbox, iDisk, or Box.net. You can also access your home computer through the built-in screen sharing feature, and view and control your applications just like you’re sitting in front of them.

Find out more about the applications above and check out the rest of this week’s must-have iOS apps, including TapnScrap HD and TalkBox Voice Messenger, after the break!

AirView(Free) Universal – Utilities

It can be a little difficult sometimes to decide which movies to store on your iOS devices with the limited storage you have available. Now you don’t have to worry about syncing your movies to your device before you can watch them, because it’s easy to stream them wirelessly over your Wi-Fi network. With the free universal AirView application, you can stream videos from one iOS device to another, or from iTunes on your computer straight to your iPhone, iPod touch, or iPad, using the built-in AirPlay feature for iOS.

OneNote(Free) iPhone – Productivity

The powerful OneNote note taking application which comes as part of the Microsoft Office suite is now available on your iPhone, allowing you to create and view notes and lists whenever and wherever you need them. Sync your notes with your Windows Live online storage account and access them from virtually anywhere using your phone, computer, or web browser. Create flexible notes that can include text, pictures, bullet points, and checkboxes; check off todo items when you complete your tasks; and organize your notes into sections and notebooks, all from your iPhone while you’re on the go.

Cloud Connect Pro($9.99) iPad – Business

Cloud Connect Pro is a feature-packed application for your iPad that includes everything you need to leave your laptop behind next time you’re away for business. Its file sharing feature allows you to access all of the files on your Mac, Linux, and Windows computers, and the files stored on network services such as Dropbox, MobileMe iDisk, or Box.net. Access your native Mac and Windows applications using the screen sharing feature and view and control your computer as if you had it right there in front of you.
