Default Favorite iPhone apps

I'm always looking to add some new apps for my iPhone, preferably free ones.

My favorite apps are:

1. Sportacular (live sports scores)
2. iheart radio (Clear Channel radio)
3. Aeroweather (raw or decoded METARs/TAFs)

What are your favorites?

  1. Sportacular
  2. Mobile News
  3. Facebook
  4. Flashlight - the one with the yellow flashlight on the icon
  5. Crosswords
  6. Solebon
  7. Tris
  8. iWeather - iweather.com
Thats my lineup. The last one is a bookmark, but it is still the best aviation weather and radar I have found. Very fast and works smooth on the Iphone. I am also a fan of the Phone app, Safari app, Mail app, and the Ipod app. On occasion I find use for the Calculator and Camera. LOL

X-Plane... thing is awesome! They just added a nav function on the HSI... you can fly full ILS/VOR approaches on it with the accelerometers.

1. lightsaber (just a lightsaber on the screen and makes the star wars lightsaber sounds when you swing the phone around

2. Cowbell (says " I gotta have more cowbell" and then there is a cowbell on the screen and you can tap it to make a cowbell sound. Bonus is that you can play dont fear the reaper in the backround and play along)

Default Favorite iPhone Apps

Anybody recommend any apps they have found interesting/useful/entertaining for the iPhone. One of my favorites is iToner (not free-in the $10 neighborhood). It lets you create ringtones from songs in your iTunes library.

Looks cool, does it work with Protected AAC files; songs purchased from iTunes?

Edit: Nevermind, found the answer in their FAQ's. It does not work with them.
