Best iPhone Apps?

At the risk of a good receiving a good lynching, what apps are working out for you? I'm only really sold on:

Remote,
FaceBook,
Graffitio,
Shazam,
(and a bit of bomberman).

None of the above. So far I've installed

Tuner (plays 2,000 radio stations - the quality is outstanding - great to be able to listen to British radio walking down a country lane in Japan)

Truphone (Skype-a-like VOIP app - I'm sure Skype will arrive sooner or later but this is a good stop-gap in the meantime - sign up now and you get $4 free credit for calls - worldwide international calls are 3p per minute to landlines in pretty much any country)

Super Monkey Ball (Well why not - good for a laugh and plenty of levels)

郵便番号 / Yuubin Bangou (Allows you to find any address in Japan by typing in the Japanese postcode - probably wouldn't be much use in the UK)

Shazam looks interesting, but one of the reviews said it's only freeware for a trial period. Dunno if this is true.

I was considering developing something for the app store to see if it provided a bit of pocket money, but I'm completely out of good ideas. Didn't notice the train planner - have to check it out.

I can't wait to get an iphone.... I've got a Touch (which i might sell, or might keep... its money already spent)

and I'm definitely feeling the iTunes Remote... I installed a quasi-VNC app (called TouchPadPro) on my jailbroken touch to more or less do the same thing..... but its more about controlling the computer as a whole as opposed to iTunes specifically
