iPhone Owners: Favorite Apps?

Inspired by a previous thread, and the fact that there's now so much junk on the iPhone's App Store that it's hard to find those diamonds in the rough, I was wondering what some other iPhone users around here have found that they prefer?

On mine I have a few that I like to have just for "show off" purposes: the Lightsaber app and the Zippo, namely. Otherwise...

Games (mostly installed by the girlfriend):

- Mancala (free version)
- Falling Balls
- Labyrinth LE
- Trace (installed by me, it's a clever little game)

Other Apps:

- Facebook (was nigh unusable until the latest update)
- Flixter Movies
- AroundMe (though I use it less and less)
- Wikiamo (Wikipedia access with nice formatting)
- LiveJournal
- MySpace (also rarely used, mostly for girlfriend's use)
- USA Today
- The Weather Channel
- Shakespeare (All of Shakespeare's works, for free, on the fly!)
- AIM
 
While I don't have an iPhone, I do have an iPod Touch (2G 32GB). There are a couple of apps that I really like:
- Cubes - awesome game, seriously addictive
- Remote -free Apple app, allows you to control iTunes on your PC using wifi
- VLC remote - allows you to control VLC (video player) on your PC (again using wifi)
 
Wikipanion which is a well formatted Wikipedia app
Facebook, although it crashes and is missing a ton of functions.
Stanza which has a lot of classic novels for free and newer stuff to buy.
Lose It which helps me count calories.
Flixster although it messes up showtimes.
Phoneflix where I can manage my Netflix queue.
Shazam. The one that can tell me what song is playing sun I hold the phone up to a speaker.
Bejeweled.
Labyrinth.
iLevel the leveler.
Yelp and Urban Spoon gives me restaurant info.
AP Mobile News gives me a great mix of news articles.
But the best App I have is Pandora radio. I can play it when I go running or in the car and it's better than having satellite radio.
 
FieldRunners is a great game (paid)
Topple is a very cool charming game
NYTimes
Tap Tap Revenge
Anaconda
PANDORA radio
 
I play Versus Chess almost every day. It is an app that let's you play real people "online" even with the phone connection.

I have a bunch of other stuff on there too but mainly I use that and AP News thing.
