I received an old iPhone for Christmas, and I'm looking to fill it with a lot of my GMing materials and such. Does anyone have any suggestions of must-have apps for reading PDFs or any stuff like that?

I adore GoodReader on both the iPad and iPhone. It's got some nice features like the ability to run a mini web server to load content into its library without needing iTunes. It's also a nice and fast PDF reader. RPG Calc is a pretty good dice roller and can do some basic calculations as well. It's nice to alleviate the handful of dice problem of higher level games.

Yeah, GoodReader is my PDF viewer of choice for iOS.

I haven't played Star Wars with my phone as a roller, but for Pathfinder I use QuickRoll. It's a handy character portfolio/roller... But it won't do a wild die. It does give die by die roll results in the history, though, so you could track it and reroll as needed.

Dicenomicon is a pretty feature rich die roller and can have customized rolling rules. There is a d6 wild die rule set for it, but it takes a little messing around with to get set up.
