Realtime Mandelbrot only runs on the latest iPhone 3GS and iPod touch (3rd Generation) hardware, but it is much faster than the Fractals app (which is still free if you missed it before). However, it does not let you explore Julia Set fractals like the Fractals app does.
Be sure to pay attention to the short tutorial that appears the first time you run the program so you can learn how to navigate it. You can save the fractal images within the app, save to photos on your device, email the images, or share them with other users, and browse fractals shared by other users.
On the subject of fractals, has anyone read Altar of Eden, by James Rollins? Fractals were discussed a bit in the book, which I found interesting.
