google sky map but don't think it's on iphone. can see which galaxy the paper lanterns have come from.
rinse fm
tube map
evernote - you can make various types of notes and syncs with your computer if you want
you can get various VNC apps that allow you to control your computer remotely via your iphone
ted mobile has lots of interesting videos to watch
if you travel a lot then the trainline has an app and theres one called train search thats good too
someone posted one called mood pad in a previous thread that's good for a fiddle (ooh err). it basically imitates a heat detector so you can touch the screen and make patterns as if it's detected the heat of your fingers
games wise:
angry birds is amazing. the creators have just released a new one called cut the rope as well but not tried that yet
ragdoll blaster (1 and 2)
topple (1 and 2)
chicks (basically lemmings)
toki tori (good platformer)

touchgrind is 10x better than thps2, the buttons are far to jarrrrrring on the iphone.
Looks fantastic. Can samples be saved, transfered and imported into daws I wonder?
I was also looking at beat maker, again not free but looks great. Anyone had experience with this?
Some great suggestions here, thanks all, please keep them coming.
Sneezies was standard Badger, been waiting to play that game since came to your house. Girlfriend is addicted too now.
Vlingo the voice to text app will come in handy and Saynoto0870 could be useful. Maps and transport apps are great too, I wonder if there is a free satnav apps for when on foot.
Why are you sometimes asked to confirm credit card details for apps that are supposed to free.
When using wifi are there any hidden roaming charges?
When you 'close' an internet page using the button at the bottom the page disappears but when you open the page again the content opens exactly as it was when it was closed. Does this mean the page is still connected to the internet while temporarily closed and therefor is it still charging you for browsing?

A couple of noob questions:
Why are you sometimes asked to confirm credit card details for apps that are supposed to free.
When using wifi are there any hidden roaming charges?
When you 'close' an internet page using the button at the bottom the page disappears but when you open the page again the content opens exactly as it was when it was closed.

a) you're not connecting to itunes/app store correctly.
b) no - you're using your wifi and not your 3g.
c) It's saved to the cache on safari so when you close the app, it still saves the web page,
so next time you open safari, it goes straight there.
If you want to get rid of the page you have to hit the double window icon and close it
manually.
