i hope none of you guys are paying for ringtones,i did at first but there is an easy way through itunes thats free and you dont need to even have songs purchased through itunes
its just you need to cut the songs to 40 secs which can also be done through itunes if you duplicate the song at the certain point and convert it to an aac file then you change the file to ".m4r then it transfers it to ringtones once you attempt to play the song clip, if you guys have any questions just pm me i know its a bit jumbled

tap tap revenge is good also and the pocket dyno works well

On my ipod touch, I have fring which gives you access to skype, and dynolicious which is great to measure the hp, 0-60 and quarter mile times in my SC.(http://forums.pelicanparts.com/porsche-911-technical-forum/448785-iphone-dyno-results-thread.html)
I also enjoy pandora for free music radio.

pandora is a great program and the dynos seem to be a bit better than the novelty programs i originally thought that they were. i am trying to boycott apple unsucessfully for putting out the 3g after i bought the regular one and missing the cutoff date to get a free one by one week lol

For work: VNC, SSH, Telnet, Subnet Calculator (I wish they had a wireless sniffer and cracker)

For me not much yet, I like the Carpenters level with the plumb bob (no relation), LinkedIn,

I'm still contemplating a friend finder, there are many in the U.S. but only one I think that works in Canada.

Still too many to choose from and find, I guess that's why this thread started.

Cheers

PS I forgot to ask does anyone know of a good time tracker for various clients? Free or not I could really use a good one.

hmm facebook is a really good app ,but im sure most everyone has it as of yet

Just got a 3G (upgraded from the 2G) yesterday and downloaded Track Day. Have a track event in 2 weeks @ SOW and will use this app and see how good it is. Will be using a transponder also for timing so I can compare the two. We will see if it was worth the $11.99

GPS Lite worked great last night on my evening lumber ( read as lineman running ;) ) and it was a free app. May buy the full version for $2.99

Several other apps have already been mentioned that are great. Had a recent trip to Oregon and had downloaded a bunch of shows for my 4-1/2 year old. Worked out great on the plane.

a few more recommendations...
 

I agree with many of the previous recommendations, and will investigate many that I don’t have, but will add the following free programs:

Games (and I’m not much of a game guy) –
Dondrinkn is great for competition with friends over a beer.
Penguin Lite is another great waste of time.

Cool stuff –
Google voice search – I was in my garage and couldn’t remember (for my leaf blower oil/gas formula) “how many ounces there are in a gallon” and received an answer in seconds.
Snap Tell allows you to take a picture of a product (I’ve only used on DVDs and books but understand it is very flexible), and a little like Shazam it gives you info on what it is and where to buy it online and locally. And read Amazon reviews of the product.
Big Oven for recipes.
Dual Level which serves as a small carpenter’s level.

Ones I expect to use regularly, but haven’t yet –
Mint.com – finances management.
Evernote – which has been mentioned by others.

Iphone is the best tool and the best toy I’ve ever owned. I purchased it in August of 2007 and it’s hard to believe the amount of improvements and innovations that are available in that short time. Fun to think of the new directions and improvements that are likely to come.

For games enigmo is pretty addicting. It's sorts like fantastic contraption that everyone was addicted to

I was using Showtimes until the latest version quit working. I'm now using Flixster, which does a similar thing: identifies local theaters, shows showtimes and allows researching feedback on the movies... I didn't read all prior posts, but I hear there's an app that lets you take pictures of products, identifies the products and seeks the lowest price. Target has a fun app that makes gift recommendations... But so far, Shazam is the most impressive app I've used -- by far.

HP12C emulator by Thomas Fors - expensive but 1/4 price of a physical HP12C

Bloomberg stock app - far from what I'd consider full-featured, but the best I've found

What's your opinion on iStockManager. I actually am addicted to it. It uses TD Ameritrade.

There is the step by step on creating ringtones.

Looks good, but I didn't try it, because don't have Ameritrade.

For me, I don't care about being able to trade from the iPhone, since we can't run portfolios that way.

What I'd like, and haven't found, is a market/stock app that can:
- have multiple groups of securities - so you can set up one list for owned names, another for watched names, another for sector/industry indicies/ETFs, or group stocks by industry or by whether you are long/short, etc
- have technicals in charting - at least 50/100/200 period moving avgs and RSI
- allow charting stocks relative to each other or to indicies
- include pre- and after-market trading in the daily chart
- give easy access to fundamental data and valuation metrics
- in addition to what the Bloomberg app does

I'd also like to find this

WTH is that?^^^^
Oh I got a Case-Mate VROOM case for my phone the other day. Very nice and uber cool, for and auto enthusiast at least.

Ha ha! You're too young! That's a communicator (case) from Star Trek, TOS.

Star trek was out of style before I was born.

Moved following from other thread

You iPhone users, check out Writepad which is a handwriting recognition app for iPhone. More of a demo app so far, shows the ability of the HWR but can't do much with the notes once written. But IMO quite accurate for printed words. I find the iPhone's onscreen keyboard okay but an alternative input method would be nice. IPhone already uses HWR for Chinese characters and it is pretty good. HWR for English could simply be an alternate keyboard much like Chinese users can choose character or pinyin.

Also if too cheap for SMS check out Beejive, a persistent psuedo push IM client. When you leave the app then receive an IM the server sends you an email with a link. Click and the IM app opens as if you never left. Your prior chat is there with the message you received while away. To others it looks as if you were online the whole time. Until Apple releases the real push API this is as close as it gets.

Made Star Trek TOS communicator wallpaper and made a communicator ringtone. Now if only I could beam up.

WritePad: handwriting recognition. whatever you scribble w/ your finger gets converted to typed text. letters, words, sentences... cursive as well.

iShoot: lobbying missiles at your opponents. fun game w/ different types of weapons.

Pocket Whiteboard: similar to writepad but w/o the recognition. whatever you scribble stays that way. good if you don't have a notepad handy but you can only save one 'board' at a time

Texas Hold'em
Checkers Free
Virtual Pool Lite- games. self explanatory.
