I'm new to the iPhone and just want to know, what are your top 5 apps on your iPhone? Thanks.
My top 5 that are on my iPhone right now... I'd say:
Beejive IM - was not digging the $15.99 price tag but it really is worth the money.
Twitterriffic - free, works just as well as the paid version.
Spore - great game
MLB at Bat - great for baseball fans, especially now in the post season.
Now Playing - best app for movie trailers and theatre times.
These are my favorite apps at the moment...
Taxes HoldEm
Movies
TapTap
BreakClassic
PapiJump
As you can see, they are mostly games.
Safari
Phone
iPod
Clock
Oh... You mean 3rd party! D'oh!
Still not a huge user :(
Currently playing:
Enigmo
Trism
Force Unleashed
Spore
Sometimes launch
Twitteriffic
SplashShopper - List software is essential for my mobile device.
Twitterrific - Screen name is jamesus if anyone wants to follow me!
Clowdy - Love people watching and this is a great app to view the world from everyone else's point of view.
MLB AtBat - Go Go White Sox
Facebook - Nice update they just released. Really digging it.

Soccer..it works well but i seldom have the time it takes to devote to it.

Texas holdem..would be better with online multiplayer
weather bug
scrabble
sportstacular
Now playing
as you can see, not much in the way of productive 3rd party apps. Wish it wasn't the case. They need to have trial apps for those over 10 dollars. But i have stopped getting apps on impulse. I simply just don't use many i'm finding and yep, i could make a list of those i bought, tried once and simply don't use.
My advice is to buy just a few at a time to get familar with em.
Well, my fav app is Lightsaber Unleashed. Next is Origami Rose. Third is Labrynth Lite Edition. Fourth, Audi A4. Last but not least is Flashlight. They're all free.
In order of most-launched first:

I agree, trials would be great. Given the DRM management, surely there must be a way to have a limited time or limited use (say, 10 times and then it is no longer works) should be possible.

Thanks!
you have to checkout the yadaSay language translator. Right now it translates between english and spanish / spanish to english and play the audiio in the proper dialect. You can save the phrases and email with a link to the audio. Do search on iTunes for yadaSay. Its only .99
Flashlight (should have come with the phone)
Video Safe (also should have come with the phone)
Shazam (this also should have come with the phone, but hey at least we don't have to pay for it)
Rest of the 3rd party app is pretty much PoS.

Many people around the world are currently rating the newest applications for IPhone. The Iphone phenomenon is extending rapidly and you are able to find thousands of opinions, comments and rankings everywhere on the web. Now, if you already have your IPhone, the next thing to do is find the proper apps that suit your needs. Most people tend to choose all those apps related to video, music and photos, because IPhone holds all kinds of entertainment in one…still, if you want it to be a part of your working life or of your life as a student and want to be virtually present everywhere too, here is a list of applications that can make your day.
1.- Air Sharing: Left the information at home? Never again. No need to take your laptop everywhere. With this free app for file storage, you can transfer or exchange your files via wi-fi and carry them with you all the time. Files are accessed from the same program (compatibility with a huge amount of formats). Compatible with Mac, Windows and Linux.
2.- Wikipanion plus: How many times have you needed a definition, a date, biography and other specific information and there is no PC around? With this Wikipedia browsing application for IPhone your problem is solved. All the knowledge from the web into a hand-sized gadget. Direct connection with Wikipedia servers, so there is no no third-party servers fuss. Automatic search while you type and the last visited page opens from when you last left the application. It supports searching and browsing in more than 75 languages. Great app!
3.- Tweeter: Scaled down version of the Twitter for IPhone. You can update your status remotely, view direct messages sent to you or view the public timeline. Very nice interface. Upload images and show the world what you’re doing instantly. Great for sending a picture when words don’t seem to help for descriptions.
4.- Skype: All Skype functionalities in your IPhone. You can call and chat with all your skype contacts. No extra voice delays (it uses an AJAX interface). If your contact is not online, you can still call his mobile or landline. Good for saving some money.
5.- Fieldrunners: While commuting, a very good way to kill time and help your eyesight as well (games which involve lots of eye movement help distinguish contrast, a capacity that people start to lose as they grow older). This Tower Defense game has free content updates. The idea is to defend and control the field using a big selection of upgradeable towers and lots of tactics against your enemies (thousands!). Try to dominate the fieldrunners and rise to the top as the Tower Defense Master. Very entertaining and probably the best game for IPhone so far.
Technology is advancing so fast that I am sure that when this little article is published there will some new apps already in the market, waiting for new users and their ratings. In the meantime, let’s enjoy the good ones that we have already discovered which are making our lives a little more pleasant everyday.

do you have the lite version of MLB or the full? I have the lite, I use it quite a bit to check cubs scores. I noticed that with the full version, they make a new app every year, like 2009, 2010, and you have to buy it every year, which is pretty much crap.
I'll stick w/ the free version, lol
1. Flight Control
2. iDragon Ball Sports
3. Facebook
4. Skype
5. Mafia Wars
I can only puck five!! Yikes!:D
Ok excluding Phone, email, sms, AddressBook, Appigo ToDo, and Calender. I use the every hour of every day for work.
