    Also has anyone found a case that you really like? This is my wife's phone, I'd like to find her a skin that goes around the phone that will help her grip it better, and then a case that she can put the phone (while in the skin) in to protec the face in her purse.

    I have a BUNCH :

    - Mint.com - good way to keep track of finances
    - Grocery IQ - grocery list app
    - Lose It! - good way to keep track of calorie intake / excercise
    - Gas Cubby - Awesome app for logging gas mileage / vehicle maintenance
    - Shazam - hold it up when a song is playing, either on the radio or wherever, and it tells you the name of the song. Works remarkably well
    - Remote - the apple app that lets you control itunes
    - Ocarina - turns the iPhone into a musical instrument
    - Sportacular - great app for following sports
    - Trailguru - great app for logging your hikes - uses GPS to log where you walk, how long you walked, and they have a website that keeps all the logs so you can look at them and share them

    As for games :
    - Solebon - a whole bunch of solitaire games
    - Quordy - like a boggle type game
    - Enigmo - amazing
    - Spin
    - Jellycar
    - Fieldrunners
    - Trace
    If you will it, dude, it is no dream.

    I don't have an iPhone, but I do have a few apps for my iPod Touch.

    Facebook
    AIM
    Pandora
    ChemTouch - portable periodic table with tons of information about each element
    Study Aid - the best flash card program I've found so far; you create lists on you iPod or on their website and then email them to yourself to transfer them to you iPod
    Zippo Lighter - who can have one of these things without this classic app?

    And still looking for more useful apps.

    I use a basic cellphone. A good idea, since sometimes I throw it
    when I get PO'ed. Cheaper to replace!

    Haha, I can't imagine how bad some app must have been that it wasn't worth mentioning with "iBeer" or "lightsaber". :)

    Yellow pages.
    It links with the GPS. So you type in what you need and it gives you the phone#, address, and detailed directions to get there from your current location.

    You know the standard maps app does the exact same thing, right?

    Yes. You may have to click the little "locate me" target icon first so it finds where you are, but after that, in the search box, just type whatever you're looking for. "Pizza", "gas", "chinese food". It will drop a dozen little pins of all the places around you, and just click on each one and it will give you a detailed listing - phone, address, web page, directions.

    Has anyone found an alternative to the included map software that has spoken directions?

    Apps that do turn by turn directions are against the rules, unfortunately, so I don't think you're gonna find one.

    against the rules, care to elaborate? AT&T Navigator, which is what I have on my Blackberry, does turn by turn directions verbally. I assume that it's not against the rules, since I'm paying att 5 bucks a month to use it.

    All iPhone apps have to go through the iTunes App store. The App store has a set of (arbitrary) rules, and a pretty opaque approval process for all apps. One of the rules is that you can't make an app that does turn by turn directions (presumably because APple wants to do it themselves and release it in the future).

    It's one of my least favorite parts about owning an iPhone (Apple's ridiculous rules and approval process) but them's the breaks.

    Wow, well that really sucks. That's kinda a deal breaker for my wife. I doubt the phone will go though, so I guess I get to spend another couple hundred bucks on a stand-alone GPS unit, awesome...

    I love Apple, they're the greatest, this definitely makes me want to go out and buy more of their products.
