Ones that actually serve a purpose
Shazam (music identifier that actually works)
Shopping list (prosaic but useful)
AroundMe (locates shops, banks, restaurants etc. near your location)
UrbanSpoon (as above but for restaurants)
RadioBox (good Radio app)

Games
Ragdoll Blaster
Angry Birds
DropBrick
FallingBalls
PaperToss

Those are just my favourites.
Others will come up with far more exciting ones.

Have fun!

There's an app called OutFront that might be of interest to outdoor types such as cylists, for example...

I like the paper toss one.
The Gibson guitar one is very nice - good tuner too. If you play guitar that is...

Tesco

If you shop at Tesco, and want to reduce the number of loyalty cards you carry around in your wallet by 1 (so now only 99) I suggest the Tesco clubcard app.

It's free, you just download then enter your name and clubcard number and then they scan your iPhone each time you shop.

They'd never get the iPhone to slide in the slot, would they? It'd be way too thick.

Angry Birds

It rules!

For fellow geeks, the light saber app is cool. You select a character, hold the iphone and wave it about and it makes noises like you are in Star Wars - cool

If you travel by train the Train Search app by Cross Country Trains (covers all trains not just Cross Country) is really good. Its free and does everything the National Rail one does, which they charge a fiver for!!

Also have... WeatherPro, the Grauniad, the Indescribably, Amazon, Twitterific, Facebook, Good Beer Guide, TV Guide, and London Bus (which confusingly isn't limited to bus it does tube, train, and bus).

The metoffice app is really good for a freebie as is the Google app (with voice recognition.)
"Around me" I find invaluable, Google Earth is fantastic and if you bank with Natwest, then their app is superb.

Also, don't forget to log onto CC from Safari and then add it to your home screen
