Top iPhone Apps?
So.....you've got a shiny iPhone and it's crammed full of the best Apps (free or paid for) that you can find.....what are they?
I've only been using an iPhone since Sunday, but here are mine:
National Rail: Lists train times, gives real-time updates, has a nice 'last train home' feature
Tube Deluxe: Route planner and service indicator for the London Underground
TV Guide: Lists what's on now and next for hundreds of channels
Shazam: Identifies any song playing on the radio, links you to it on Youtube and iTunes, provides additional information about the artists
Mocha VNC Lite: VNC Client
Haven't really downloaded much apart from those.....what are your favourites?

Re: Top iPhone Apps?
Another vote for tube deluxe..
Also London Bus by the same author (brilliant if you happen to get lost in London as you can use it to look up your nearest bus stop and the timetable for the routes that serve that stop.

Re: Top iPhone Apps?
Can't find the iPlayer app on the App Store..... Does it have to be downloaded from elsewhere?

Although I've just found out how to add things to the home screen, so the deception was worth it

Re: Top iPhone Apps?
How about the skype app? I've downloaded it but its not supported so I was a bit reluctant to set it up.
