I don't know if I've posted these, but I'm gonna anyways...
Angry Birds - Wicked fun physics based game. Use a slingshot that chucks birds at objects to get to the pigs. The graphics, sound and gameplay is beyond reproach for a cartoon-y game. Love it.
Olive Tree NKJV Bible - They just added a bunch of features in the latest update that makes it very easy to search and a took tons of bugs out. It's very useful now.
MLB.com at Bat 2010 - Streaming ballgames. Have to have the mlb.tv subscription, but it's well worth the money if you love ball.
Speedtest - By speedtest.net. Good for checking jacked wifi to get a good connection speed.
5-0 Radio Pro - Scanner app with a zillion feeds. Good if you're hiding from the cops.
Sportacular - Quick scores and boxes. The best sports app I've found.
The Weather Channel - Nice, clean weather with radar.
DoodleJump - It's just fun. I've long since grown tired, but it was fun for waiting rooms.
VoicePlus - Voice changer. Fun for messing with the kids.
TFLN - Mindless drivel, lots of hilarity in there. It's Texts from Last Night. User submitted humorous texts. Very adult and very tacky.
UPS - Check your tracking numbers.
USA Today - Great news app. I have always loved USA Today, so it fits perfect. It's very well done, too.
Goby - The coolest "What's going on here where I'm stuck?" app I've seen yet. It pulls up tons of things to do in the area you're in. Even obscure stuff like live music at the winery. Kind of a "local entertainment" newspaper page for wherever you are. It's just plain cool.
MoonPhase - I always pay a lot of attention to the moon. It's a nice clean app for finding out everything I need or want to know.

Giving Opera Mini a test run. Was previously using Perfect Browser, but I think Opera Mini might win out. We'll see.

Justin, ATT started allowing VOIP over 3G about a month back, several apps (Fring, etc) are updated to do this now. Might be the cheapest way to do this.

Just found an app called Gorilla Bob. If you guys like shooting games it's pretty sick for $.99 not to mention his life bar is a cigar!

Default Re: Cool iPhone/touch Apps, what do you like?

I recently played with uHear. It words really well to test your hearing. It's a quickie throw-away app.
World Series of Poker Free is a well done Texas Hold-em app.
I installed Dictionary.com's Dictionary app. I use it constantly. I'm really happy with that one.
GoodReader is 99 cents. Best .pdf reader app I've found. I use it for reading all my ebooks.
The coolest app yet is Dragon Dictation. The uses for it never end. I'll use it more on my iPad later. I've thought of lots of ways I can use it, and I plan to write a few books soon. That'll make that a breeze.
I may have mentioned Goby. It's a "find stuff to do" app. Best one of seen yet, it actually doesn't suck like all the other ones I've checked out. They really got it right. It's worth a lokksee just for the cool factor.
SoundHound sucks. Digital Pinball sucks.Siri sucks. I've found a bunch more that are just plain worthless for lots of reasons.
I think the top five on my phone that I use all the time are:
Navigon
12 Step Companion
Olive Tree NKJV Bible Reader
Wikipanion
Dictionary
IMDb
MLB.com at bat 2010
GoodReader
I could probably live without any of the other 100 things on my phone.

iSnipe for us precision rifle shooters. Spend less time calculating and more time smoking a cigar between shots. If I didn't smoke cigars, I'd likely just calculate it manually to keep my brain working.

I really like it and you'll see why at the end of my response. The same work can be done by hand but this is just plain faster. As far as accuracy, its more accurate than I can shoot put it that way. The processing power of the iphone/itouch lets this thing crank out crazy accurate numbers. I tend to do a lot of mixed-distance 'gong' shooting to practice hunting. I'll use the laser range finder to get a distance of say 335 yards, then plug all the info into iSnipe and adjust clicks as indicated. Never missed a gong shot since. As for doing it by manual calculation, well lets just say I've had to take up reloading due to the amount of ammo I was going through

Haven't had my iPhone for long, but for those of you into homebrewing, I picked up:

Brew Pal

Great app that helps in recipe formulation, mashing, expected efficiency calculations, and can even categorize your recipe to the proper BJCP style if you're considering competition for your brew. Great app!
