What iOS applications must be in the Mac application vault? (NY Times)

Instapaper

This is perhaps a strange request since Instapaper works pretty well as a browser-based application, but I would still like to see. Instapaper and Reeder applications provide best reading experience on iPhone and iPad, in my opinion and Reeder for Mac has already shown that kind of experience can be translated successfully on the desktop. A similar iOS Instapaper application with a way of reading full-screen would completely satisfy my needs read Mac.

Birds in anger

It can be perfectly adapted to a touch interface, but I think still angry birds could work on the Mac. Especially now Apple Magic Trackpad allows Mac to use based on the Enter key. It is not as satisfactory as slinging avian destruction tools simply in related, but it will probably provide yet many hours of distraction.

Facebook

Whereas the social network has not yet issued iPad application yet, is probably asking a lot, but I would love a native OS X Facebook client. The web is great, but I actually prefer to application iPhone most of the time, because I find it easier to navigate and less distracting. The best part is it strips all applications from third-party is probably also the reason why an application OS X Facebook will never happen.

WhatsApp/Kik/Viber

I love having a Messenger system that replaces texting on the iPhone, and I'd like to see be able to reach the Office as well. At one of these would make other obsolete IM clients and keep really connected me anywhere in the world without having really be signed a service (as they worked persistent in the background the way they do on the iPhone). In the same vein, an application as Viber might work well for providing an iPhone Mac voice dedicated, calling solution.

I could go on and on other applications and games I could benefit from using on the Mac, but my point is: there is huge potential crossover for iOS successful Bank application Mac applications.

What iOS applications do you think would best operate on OS X?
