My HomescreenWell it's been about a year since i got my iPhone, and i've installed probably at least a hundred apps (most of which i quickly uninstalled). Here are my 20 favorite apps today, not including any games.

1. Evernote (free) - cloud based text/photo/audio service [iTunes]
2. Truphone (free) - voip [iTunes]
3. Flixster (free) - movie showtimes / info [iTunes]
4. Weathereye (free) - better than the stock weather app in my opinion [iTunes]
5. Remote (free) - great when hosting parties [iTunes]
6. BeejiveIM ($9.99) - best IM client i've seen, supports push [iTunes]
7. Tweetie ($2.99) - best twitter client i've tried (and i've tried alot) [iTunes]
8. Facebook (Free) - actually makes facebook enjoyable, although app is due for a major update [iTunes]

10. Prowl ($2.99) - push notifications for Growl. Read my post on it here. [iTunes]
11. MLB 2009($9.99) - Not cheap, but streaming video of games (even over 3G) is awesome. [iTunes]

13. Shazam (Free) - what's this song called? [iTunes]
14. Shopper ($0.99) - Great if you're not the pen & paper grocery list type [iTunes]
