Default Cool iPhone/touch Apps, what do you like?

I've found a few that I really like, Fluid 2 and the Koi Pond are all zenlike and relaxing.
There's an app called CoolFacts and it's free and neat. Geek facts, kind of like a virtual outhouse of useless knowledge, but fun to read.
I use a medical thing called I.T. to track my doctor stuff.
The Weather Channel, Google Earth, iHandy Level, Olive Tree Bible NKJV and a bunch of other stuff I use daily are very useful.

What do you guys use, enjoy, like, or suggest?

A couple I like that haven't been mentioned:
pic2shop - you take a picture of an item's barcode and it brings back Amazon reviews of the product. Worked great when I was shopping for a coffee maker last weekend at Target.

Pixelpipe - easily upload photos/videos/blog posts to dozens of sites at once like Twitter, Facebook, blogspot, etc ....

Grocery Gadget - make a grocery list.

PandoraBox - searches the app store for apps that are on sale/made temporarily free by the creators.

It's called "Illness Tracker". It's to take daily notes on my condition, meds, doc visits, everything. It's excellent, but it could do so much more.
They're on the right track though. It's very useful for me.

I'm going to look into some of these other apps that everyone mentioned (hence why I made the thread).
The grocery list thing sounds great.
Thanks for all the help so far, guys.
Keep them coming!!!

Shazam, good for when you hear a song and you can't remember the name or who sings it...Shazam will listen, send it off and you will get the song and artist back.

The following are the apps I use the most:

Pandora - Must have for music lovers. This app gets more of a workout than all other app on my phone put together.
The Weather Channel - Current weather maps and even video forecasts.
ESPN Scorecenter - Set up your own scoreboards.
Flixster - Movie times, info, locations and trailers.
Google - Search internet by voice (for those of us without a 3GS).
Google Earth
Currency - Quickly convert those pesky Euros to dollars.
Shazam - Name that tune. Works really well.
Skype
Yelp - Restaurant locator and review service.
Bloomberg - More detailed stocks and financial news service.

Oh yes. This saved us on a recent trip.
We normally put the baby to sleep listening to Classical music.
I have an iPod in her room ready to go for the night.

We didn't bring it on vacation, so I opened the app, chose a Mozart song, and the app did the rest. Used it every night next to the Pack N Play.

It's a super cool app, I can see where it'd be lots of fun.

I recently downloaded Aroundme. Say you're away from home and need a donut. You just open it up, either choose a category or type "donut" in the search, and bang. Donuts.
I know there's tons of ways to get this done, but vie been traveling a lot, and it makes it quick and easy to find whatever I need wherever I am. It's nice and clean and simile, too. No crap.
Then I can click on George's Donuts and there's directions in google maps. I wish it'd kick up the destination in Navigon, but I can get by.

Scanner911 and Outta My Way are my two favorites. That is because I am a squirrel . As for a legitimate game, I would have to say AC-130.

Check out the Remote app if you listen to music on your PC a lot. The app allows you to control the music that is playing on iTunes on your PC with your iphone. I used it while out on the patio to control the music playing in the house. It's great.

There's an app that turns your touch into a mouse via your wireless network. I thought it'd be cool, but the reviews were awful.
It was all buggy.
