Gets Weekends Off
AroundMe and/or MapsBuddy (both apps do the same thing but with different interfaces....I use them both...really handy on layovers)
Nav Clock (1 button push for instant time in local, zulu, current wx, sunrise/sunset, etc)
CardStar (holds all your hotel and airline frequent flyer numbers as well as all those grocery, hardware store and all other loyalty cards that used to clutter up my keychain...even displays as a barcode for scanning at the checkout)
RedLaser (scans product barcodes for price comparisons to a multitude of online stores)
Amazon (same as RedLaser but for Amazon only)
MyRadar Pro (nexrad radar...ditto the recommendation on AeroWeather mentioned above)
VLC (for playing those rare videos the basic out-of-the-box iPhone cannot play)
Skype WiFi (use your Skype minutes to access paid wifi hotspots like those in airports....allows you to pay a deeply discounted rate for only those minutes you use on wifi as opposed to paying for a whole day)
Shazam (just ultra-cool technology to name that tune you're listening to in the hotel elevator)
Noise Patrol (want to know just how much damage you're doing to your ears in the cockpit?)
Planets (just way cool)
Runmeter (if you like to run on your layovers)
TeleNav GPS (very nice GPS for driving)
FAAwait (gets all the current FAA delays in the US)
Flightboard (just like the flight board at the airport, filterable...great for jumpseating)
FlightRadar24 (similar to FlightAware but also has a feature that allows you to aim your iPhone at an airplane and will tell you all the info on that flight...gee whiz kinda stuff)
AviationABB (every aviation abbreviation known to man)
That should keep you occupied for awhile....welcome to the 21st Century!
