Since we are a week in with the app store I am wondering which apps people are actually using the most. Has anything become indispensable? If you are like me then you have tried a bunch of applications (especially with all the freebies available) but I find myself only really using 3 or 4 religiously and I
have deleted a few apps that did nothing for me at all. For what it is worth, here are my most used apps:

Things- I know it doesn't sync but it is a very good mobile task/project manager. I love the visual interface of this and the desktop version. Very stable.

Evernote- Benefited greatly from an update. I find evernote very useful for for clipping webpages for later reference and now I can have all that information synced to my phone and to my desktop client. Another great bonus is the ability to snap photos and add to my notebook. I have found this very useful for work.

Enigmo- Very addictive and very difficult. SMB sometimes makes me want to smash my iphone with a hammer so I have switched to enigmo which is challenging without being frustrating.

AOL Radio - For 1 reason. They carry a Houston Sports talk show which carries the Jim Rome Show and I love the Jim Rome Show and now I have it at work where I can't normally get the show.

Not in order:

AP MobileNews
WeatherBug
Facebook
MySpace
Pandora
MLB At Bat
Aurora Feint
WeightTrack

I will be using CarStat once I fill up again and "translate" all my numbers from trip odometer readings into the actual odometer. Also, WeatherBug needs to figure out a way to ditch the little red bubble letting you know there's a warning when you've already seen it (like when you've read an e-mail). Our air sucks here, so I know there will be an air quality alert EVERY DAY.

De Blob
Dizzy Bee
Tomato
Pandora
Aqua Forest

Thanks for the Dizzy Bee tip. Very fun game with great controls, bright colors, and gets pretty challenging after a few levels. On top of that it is only $2.99.

I'm on the fence as far as getting Aqua Forest. it's pretty expensive (well by app store game prices anyway) and I have read mixed comments about it.

AIM...though I'm holding off until 1.1...it's just too unbearable. Getting more than five IMs when in the background result in blanks upon return.

Also, the saving of the log is weird...
