Midomi is a good alternative to Shazam
Bejeweled 2 - Game
Movies (Flixter) - Check Cinema Times and see trailers etc
Ocarina - Play the iphone like a recorder (sort of) Very good use of the iPhone
Peggle - Game
PlipShare - For those that have a Flip video camera!
Papertoss (Free) or Paper Toss World Tour (Paid) - Very simple but addictive game
Ragdoll blast - Another addictive game
TFLN (Texts from last night) - Mature content, drunken texts that people have forwarded Very funny but be warned of strong language.

Now that in-App purchasing for free Apps is allowed, Boxcar has gone FREE.

Instead of purchasing the main App itself, the App + one Push service is free, and you pay to add additional Push services.

I have Push email anyway (Google), don't need Push for Facebook (email updates), so all I need is one Push service for Boxcar (Twitter)... which is free :)

Oh, forgot to mention some I've added recently:

Snapture - a camera App, better than the built-in one. Used to only be available for Jailbroken devices via e.g. Cydia, but is now on the App Store.

Redlaser - barcode scanner. Scans & IDs barcodes, & searches online for the best price. Works quite well. The devs release betas for free on Cydia, prior to then releasing the final version as a paid-for App on the App Store.

Layar & Wikitude - Two separate Augmented Reality (AR) Apps.


JB-wise, I have:

SBSettings (process/memory info & memory freeing; on/off toggles for WiFi, 3G, etc.; App shortcuts & other tweaks & customisations)

Winterboard (theme manager - I just use it for the transparent dock option at the moment).

Five Icon Dock

Five Column Springboard

I love this app - I spent an hour last saturday just scanning things around my house.

Is it true that contracts for the iPhone include unlimited internet access?

Where I work one guy has TVcatchup streaming Sky sports news, as well as last.fm to his phone all day.

Can you connect the iphone to a laptop and use it as a modem and watch TVcathup on that.?

Yes. Although "Unlimited" varies.

With O2, it is unlimited (although it is subject to an FUP, there is no concrete limit, more just a case of "don't take the mick").

With Orange, although "unlimited", there is a 750MB per month limit.

Yes. But you need to pay extra to use it as a modem.

It's as unlimited as I need it to be. It's perhaps the best thing about the iphone as it has assisted in introducing internet as an unlimited service on contracts. I used to make sure any internet access was very limited but now I use it carefree and very intensivly. Worth noting though that at home and work I'm on wifi.

Right where I park someone has a BT open zone so I can blast into my work emails as I park then have them all checked by the time I walk into work leaving me stress free to grab coffee and cereal :-)

Love this phone and onto my 3rd one on the 18th Dec (3gs whoop).
As sad as I am I'll have owned all 3 generations then (queued up for the 2g at launch)..

you'd be better off connecting the iphone to a wireless network and streaming through that.
