Tango. 3G video chat. It works as it should - simple and quick. Makes traditional phone calls feel archaic. Awesome, I was kind of bummed that vid chat only worked with wifi, but if this works that rules!
Facebook. This is an essential app from the get-go, and it's been steadily evolving—like the site—for the last year. Version 3.0 was a total refresh, and supports nearly every one of Facebook's sprawling features, sometimes better than the site itself. Don't use facebook as much as I used to, however, I do have and use the Farmville app lol
Yelp. Yelp is built on the premise that people really, really love to review things, and that this bizarre impulse should be harnessed for good. With a massive database of food/drink/everything else reviews, easy navigation, inbuilt maps, and augmented reality. Cool, I've used yelp online before but not on iphone, will try it out.
Flixster. One of the best movie applications available (also one of my favorites), and as an added bonus: it’s free! Nice, too bad hulu is a paid for app...that's bs.
SoundHound. Social music search service, powered by a community-created database. Originally known as Midomi, the iPhone app isn’t as popular as Shazam - but that’s not to say it isn’t more effective. In contrast to Shazam, SoundHound can recognize tunes that are hummed or sung. I d/l'ed Shazam a long time ago and I've yet to put it to the test really. I thought I'd be using that shit left and right.
RedLazer. Ever wondered if you can get a better deal on that cool item at Target? Scan the barcode and it searches the internet for the best deals. Check
Netflix. TV in your pocket. Stream movies on your iPhone. I recommend using WiFi if you are a heavy internet user. an 89min movie takes about 300MB. Always use it around wifi, check.
Hipstamatic. Probably the most cleverly designed of the iPhone photography apps, and certainly among the most loved, Hipstamatic's recent upgrade brings all sorts of good stuff. Curious about this.
Geocaching. This simply-named app offers real-time access to new information in the databases at geocaching.com. Search more than 800,000 worldwide geocaches, access their details, and let the hunt begin! ?
Fruit Ninja. Such a simple concept it's impossible to put down. Just swipe your finger across the screen to slash the fruit. Zen Mode lasts a minute and a half - just long enough to sneak a game in line at the grocery store.
Cut the Rope. My latest discovery! Charming graphics, simple gameplay that gets complexity steadily layered on top of it in a way that feels natural, almost without even feeling like it’s getting more difficult.
Words With Friends. Similar to Scrabble, Words With Friends allows you to play against a random opponent or someone you know, all in real time.
