Have a look at this thread for some additional ideas:
I think it would be good, to also provide the links. I mainly use
Persian verb conjugator: http://www.jahanshiri.ir/pvc/en/
German-Persian dictionary: http://de.langenscheidt.com/deutsch-persisch/
A nice podcast: http://www.chaiandconversation.com/
Textbooks that I haven't used yet, but are suppossed to be good:
Persian of Iran Today Vol. 1: <a href="http://www.laits.utexas.edu/persian_teaching_resources/Persian_of_Iran_Today.pdf" style="color: rgb(0, 121, 211); margin: 0px;">http://www.laits.utexas.edu/persian_teaching_resources/Persian_of_Iran_Today.pdf</a>;
Persian of Iran Today Vol. 2: <a href="http://www.laits.utexas.edu/persian_teaching_resources/Persian_of_Iran_Today_Vol2.pdf" style="color: rgb(0, 121, 211); margin: 0px;">http://www.laits.utexas.edu/persian_teaching_resources/Persian_of_Iran_Today_Vol2.pdf</a>;

sure , just add www....com:
www.vajehyab.com
www.farsilookup.com
Google translator is known.
Lonely planet's phrase book is only in paper and is cheap to buy , costs 10 euros.
About the other resources you mention:
Persian of Iran today is a nice resource but covers very few verb tenses and has not solution to exercises.
Chai and conversation is useful for spoken persian but not a comprehensive resource I would use daily .
There are several other resources I use but the ones I mentioned in my first post I use every time I work with persian.
Especially for grammar I haven't come across a comprehensive resource yet. Some grammar resources are good at one thing and some at another thing. I am making my own grammar notes combining stuff I find in different places.
the magnificent 5 for learning persian I use every time:
* persian online verb conjugator
* vajehyab online dictionary for pronunciation
* farsilookup online dictionary for compound verbs
* Google translator for text processing and looking up meaning of and usage frequency of words
* Lonely planet's persian phrase book
