For fellow iPhone users (I am a recent convert): which "apps" can you simply not live without?

mobile phone, question of the day

WiFi Finder, which... does what it says on the tin.

Stanza, which uploads pdfs/word docs/html files/text or rtf files as readable, which basically means I can carry around about eight billion ebooks in my pocket (LOVE. IT.).

Oh, and I don't use them, but you would: Tipulator, iTip Pro, or similar are tip calculating apps.

Wheeee!

Among the things it came with:
iPod, Safari, Mail, text messages, phone, contact list.
Maps. (and directions) (But on mine at least, this uses up the battery fast.)
Weather in different cities where my people live and where I plan to travel soon.
Notes
Camera
Alarm clock

Things I have downloaded:
Facebook
eBuddy - text-messaging
Irish language flashcard program

Since I don't tend to carry another iPod around any more, the memory of my iPhone is mostly filled up with music, meaning that to try out a new "app" I need to decide what music I don't want to listen to.

Thanks! What is the benefit of eBuddy over the iPhone-native text-messaging thingee?

Arg, I am an idiot. I always confuse these words.

What eBuddy does is not the kind of text messaging that a phone does. It does instant messaging. Like AIM and MSN and Google Talk and Facebook-messaging.

Also, aderam has an application that lets her use her iPhone as a flashlight.

HA! That sounds like it would really run down the battery.

I use free apps that I like a lot: IM Lite, Twitterific, and Instapaper (which lets you bookmark websites and saves them as readable plain text on your iphone for later perusal.)

Instapaper sounds really cool! Thanks.

I'm using an iPod Touch, not an iPhone; the apps I like are:

Twitterrific, Urban Spoon, Scramble (but only because I'm kind of totally addicted to that game), Pandora Radio (but that probably doesn't work in Canada). The facebook app is adequate for checking facebook at work, when I can't check it using a regular computer, but it's not spectacular.

Ooh, I like Urban Spoon! Thanks.
