What are your favourite iPhone/iPod/iPad apps?

I took the plunge and got an iPhone 4! Been saving up for ages (was actually my camera fund ) but with my dad being poorly I need a mobile web connection so just went for it.

So, just wondered what are your favourite apps?

So far I've installed:
  • Guardian.co.uk app - really good!
  • BBC News app - great too!
  • Whatsapp - great for instant messaging other phones with it installed, basically saves you the cost of text messages! Does cost 59p to buy tho.
  • rightmove app - as I'm always browsing houses for sale!
  • yell.com
  • amazon
  • ebay
  • waitrose (for recipes)
  • light (so you can use your phone as a torch)
  • mirror (so you can use your phone as a mirror LOL)
  • Google earth - tho I'd prob just use 'maps'
  • Engadget - technlogy website
  • IMDB - movie database
  • Dropbox - to share files
  • Photoshop mobile - excellent photo editing app

Games
  • labyrinth -really cool game!
  • cat physics - really cool game!
  • Grand Theft Auto - Chinatown Wars
  • Tetris

Prob loads I haven't even heard of yet... hence this thread - which ones are your faves?

I knew you would get one eventually I ended up getting the 3gs as I could not get a white iphone 4

I have more games than anything on mine transferred from my ipod touch. Mostly card games, trivial pursuit, puzzle bobble and scrabble. Fuzzle and bubble xplode are good time wasters as is paper toss

My son asked me to buy angry birds for him but I have never looked at it. Off to see what is like now

Another good app is Opera Having all your bookmarks in sync with your home pc is great.

To my sorrow you cant get one on pay as you go I refuse to pay £35 a month on contract. The 02 shop says in a few months they are hoping to get one on PAYG.

I love my iTouch

My fav games at the min are Tapfish and Tapbird plus iQuarium - yep I like simple things

Have they fixed the fault with the iPhone 4?
