SplashData's just posted a pair of new $.99 applications in the App Store for iPhone users. One, called Holiday (available here), is a holiday reminder for special occasions in countries from around the world. The other, Birthdays (available here), displays all the upcoming birthday's in a person's iPhone address book, along with pictures of each contact and how many days are left until each birthday.

Holiday

Users simply select a country and all holidays for that area are presented in a list, along with the number of days left until each holiday occurs and a colorful icon for each to make scanning the list simpler. The lists may be customized by adding or deleting holidays.

Birthdays

Tap on Birthdays and it automatically scans the contacts for birthdays and pulls them into the Birthdays list. Users may tap on a contact for further details, such as the age they will be, their astrological sign or Chinese Zodiac year, birthstone and full contact info. And Birthdays also serves as a to-do list, enabling users to check-off each item once cards, gifts or greetings have been sent.
