    Make some viral marketing for the apps on facebook or twitter and let some of them get the application for free if they introduce it to 5 of their friends. Also be regular on high rated forums and give them an ebook for free in which you can mention your viral marketing ideas for the application.

    IPhone apps have been storming the market and very few have actually tasted the greatest success. So if you have created an app which performs a job which no other app can, then your app will be a hot-seller, otherwise, no matter how much you market it, it wont fetch you good enough returns.
    Make sure that your app has a parent site and all the pages dedicated to describing the app have the perfect SEO done.

    You may try to contacting bloggers and request for review or do paid advertising.

    Well, if I were to release an iPhone app/game - I'd go to iphone-related blogs, and gaming related blogs and ask for reviews - or pay for a review, which is even better.
