Default iPhone/iPod touch Must Have Apps

Just curious what other people have got for apps they consider must haves.

So far I've got these:
  • Twitterrific
  • Dizzy Bee
Anyone have any suggestions?

I bought crash kart 3d.. it is a decent game for the price..
graphics are decent and plays just like mario kart on the wii..

I also have Sports Tab - This is a great free app.. basically sports scores for all the major sports.. NHL, NBA, MLB, NFL, EPL etc. and you can get detail boxscores and play by play too.. for free! A must have for CPers.

TapTap is another fun music game.. again for free.. it is good. try it out!

holy crap, has anybody tried shazam? Just hold your iphone or itouch so that it can hear a song and in about 10 seconds it will give you the name of the song, artist, album and even a youtube video if there is one. Definitely the first app that I would classify as amazing.

Twitterriffic is a Twitter client. It's actually a really sweet way to read Twitter to.

Dizzy Bee is a fun little game that makes use of the accelerometers. I'd say it's worth the 3$ I spent on it.

I installed a leaked 2.0 because I was impatient and now I can't pay for it.

You need to purchase the upgrade to version 2.0 of the firmware (10$). Then you can download and install apps directly from iTunes.

@Barnes, not yet. Been toying with the platform though, but not much beyond the hobby level

Yes! I was just coming here to post this!

Out of the 10 or 12 apps I've installed, it's the only one that always gets people saying, "holy crap!"

Since the jailbreak hasn't been released yet, if anyone happens across an SSH client for the 3G iPhone, please let me know!

Hm yeah I didn't even look at the site. I don't mind it much I guess, but any app that incorporates that kind of thing should have a terms that has to be agreed to to use the app.
