Favorite iPhone apps

[Morgaine]

Hey! Just got a new iPhone & was curious about what everyones favorite apps were. I've downloaded a lot of free ones but I'm really curious as to which ones you might feel are worth the download cost.

My current favs are:

Facebook
Weatherbug (I like it better than the one that comes with the phone)
ESPN Sportscenter (can get my football scores)
Pandora (my kids love that they can make their own radio stations & playing it in the car helps keep the temptation low to mess with my phone while driving)

Love my iPhone. I copied the below from another forum I post to.

IT Tools (some were free, most were cheap if not (<5.00):

-Citrix -lets me get into my work system

-EZshare -basically a file browser you can use through WiFi or a VPN you set up

-iNet - lets your scan a Wifi network and lists all computers/ip addresses on said network. Only thing that sucks is it doesn't let you scan with VPN connection when not on Wifi.

-LogMeIn Ignition (this was one of the pricier ones I have, 30.00) - lets me remote into any computer that has the LogMeIn program running locally

-Ping (Lite Version) - lets you scan networks/subnets. Also lets you telnet.

- VNC - to remote into any computer with VNC.

There's still lots of apps for IT stuff I would love to get, but haven't yet.



Productivity Utils:

- Quickoffice (15.00) but lets you create, view change document files, spreadsheets and the like.

- Toodledo - Task list


Other fun stuff:

- The usual social networking stuff: Facebook, Myspace, AIM, Y Messenger etc.
- Google Earth
- Kindle (app is free, you stil have to purchase the books)
- Orb - Lets you stream music, photos and videos from a home PC to your phone.
- Shazam - identifies songs playing on the radio, etc.
- Sygic GPS (60.00) - yeah, my most expensive app. But even though the iphone comes with a GoogleMaps app and a compass, it's just not the same as a talking GPS while driving.

Does anyone use MSN on the IPhone? How does it work on there?

Curious to see if one can do group chats on MSN on an IPhone. I currently can do the 3 IM programs on my SideKick but its very limited- basic smilies and no group chats.

If I can find a place around here that sells IPhones, may check to see if my DAI cord will work (seems the business end is too big to fit in most cell phones).

diddy: That i.TV one sounds great. I've been seriously considering downloading the DirecTV app as well.
AFA games I downloaded skeeball last night. I love that game. If I ever win the lottery the house I would build would definitely have a skeeball area.

I got the i.TV app specifically because I have basic cable and I have a difficult time remembering what shows are on at what time however I do not have a DVR. If you have DirectTv service, plus their DVR, that might be a better option since the DirectTV app reportedly shows the same channel guide service.

I got an iPod Touch two weeks ago to replace my deceased Palm Zire 72. I am really having a great with it.

Yea, I got that too -- it's very neat. One app that I don't think was out when this thread was last active is the NASA iPhone app. I think it's utterly fantastic and it's free! One of the neat things it has for Earth-orbiting missions is a global locator. For example, if you want to know where the ISS is you just tap the globe icon. It also has mission information and links to photos and videos.
