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...

top 5 or most frequently used:

Galcon..multiplayer online...
bejeweled..classic
white pages..finding people or businesses
caissa chess..usually open saved games
pandora..streamer

Here's some others:
Soccer..it works well but i seldom have the time it takes to devote to it.

Shazam..you already know this one

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.

The top 5 apps I use are all games. But I listed the top 5 non games as well.

Games:
Spore
Solitaire City
Aurora Feint
Hold Em
FireDrop

Non-games
Recorder
Car Care
Facebook
Movies
Units

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.
