I, along with probably at least a few others on here, are new to iPhone. What free (or pay too I guess) apps do you veterans consider must haves?

For other new users, I've found these useful apps:

Facebook
Flashlight.
ATT mywireless
Remote
Speedtest.net
 
backgrounds
skype
and probably weather eye as the regular weather app is garbage..

Twitterrific is the best one but it is $4.99. Twitterfon is free and Twitterena is .99. They are good, just not as colorful and dont make tweet noises...lol

ebay is cool too if you use it like i do. Craigsphone is free too, which is Craigslist.
 
Darn. Just got my first iPhone yesterday and was looking forward to downloading 1Password for it for free -- it looks like it is not free anymore. I must have missed a window or something. I am a 1Password desktop user, but I think even in that case you have to shell out the $4.99.
 
Hey guys, do you know if there is an App kinda like Air Sharing, except free. I have a few pdf's and word documents that I would like to put on my phone...lol.

Also what other free apps are worth getting?
 
A few aren't free...but these are my must haves:

Epocrates (YMMV)
Now playing
Flight Status
Fantastic Contraption
Bejeweled
Aura Feint II
Monopoly
Amazon
Facebook
1password
Shazam
ESPN
Flashlight

Pandora be number 1 lol
Google
Google earth
DirectTV app is great for setting the DVR from work when I forget or have to work late unexpectedly
Switcher Radio listeing to podcast
Tap Tap game wise
and on a odd one Smack Talk Ok wasn't free but I work at a large high school you be amazed how many well educated people love this app best 99 cents I spent.
