Frankly, I don't know of any mobile app for guitar which caters to all of my needs. But things are improving slowly and there are quite a few apps which are useful enough. Here's a list of a few mobile apps for the guitarists among you. Note that, not all of them are freeware and they don't support all models of handset. Check out the product homepage links for supported handset and other info. Also if you are looking for guitar softwares to use on your computer look here , here and here

I made a little mobile guitar site for www.howtotuneaguitar.org, it has thousands of chords and standard tuning notes for reference tones that can be used on any phone that can surf the net.
Check out www.howtotuneaguitar.org on a mobile device.

Hi Tom. Yeah you got a nice and useful website for guitarists. I have been to your site before, in fact I have also listed your site in my post about guitar tuners which you can check out here http://apusay.blogspot.com/2008/01/free-online-guitar-tuner.html
Cheers!
That is actually how I found your post Apu
Wordpress publishes people who link to my site - that is how I found it. So I saw that article first.
Sorry, thought I would be clearer.
