Cool iPhone/touch Apps, what do you like?

A few of the ones I use have already been mentioned, Shazam, epocrates, eBay, FaceBook, and WSJ.

Some others I appreciate having are:

FlightAware - punch in the flight number or the tail number of a plane and you can track it on a live map.

Park 'n Find - uses the GPS to capture your current location. When you want to get back to that place, it will guide you to site on a map. Used it down at Tropicana Field in December to ind my rental car with no problem. Accurate to within about 10 feet of actual location.

TweetDeck - great little app that runs just like the full-blown version for your computer. Will follow feeds for Twitter, Facebook, LinkedIn, and MySpace (gag). Cool feature is that you can tap in a message once, including location and pictures, and choose one or multiple accounts to send the message to.

Keeper - password maintenance app that also lets you save info to your computer. Gotcha is the computer version is $29.00.

Barnes & Noble

Convert - great app to convert measurements. Includes topics such as Area, Computer, Currency, Energy, Force, Pressure, Speed.

Since I have photography as a hobby, I also find DOF (Depth of Field) Master and SmugShot to be useful. SmugShot lets you upload photos you've taken with the iPhone right to your SmugMug account.
