I don't think that I have that many that I use frequently, but my tops are:

Ambiance: great ambient noise application, comes with a large selection of relaxing audio that can be mixed together and played back. Great if you need ambient sounds to help fall asleep.

USA Manual: Declaration of Independence, Federalist Papers, Constitution, Emancipation Proclamation, Gettysburg Address, amongst others..all in your pocket, all for 99 cents.

Stanza: Thousands of great books, all for free.

Man this thread seems like the perfect incarnate of a thread to not be in the GAMES forums.

[menom]

faves not in any particular order;

•Stanza - great free ebook reader with lots of customisable view options + free content
•MyRail Lite - UK only rail info - locate nearest stations (even non gps iPhone) & live train info - (don't know why it's called lite - planning one to buy e-tickets?)
•Tuner - Internet radio streams - has my faves like Secret Agent and KJAZ
•Filemagnet - with Desktop app can sync files quickly from Mac to phone and vice versa
•Joost - Film and TV streams - I've been catching up on early series of Peep Show etc
•OldBooth - take a picture of friend and give them a weird retro look - fun at parties
•Movies - good to check if a film on TV is worth watching as well as Theatre releases
•Shazam - find out what that great track playing in bar is and link to iTunes
•Truphone - great VOIP app - worked a treat when I was in Dublin at free wifi bar
•WritingPad - clever - just make shape linking letters on KB - no need to tap
•iFooty - has link to BBC live football match feeds and news (not sure works worldwide)

[rich_952000]

Huh that's nice, I searched iTunes and couldn't find any of those games! Guess those games haven't been released in the US app store.





Damn you know I'm bored when I'm being a smart-ass about these spam threads being in the games discussion forums

Documents to go's syncing with the desktop is very good.
