    There are 100,000 apps, most of them free. Discovery is an issue. Dont limit yourself to what anybody here might say ( myself included ) since we dont know what you like.

    Just use the iPhone, or iTunes to browse the top lists.

    +1 for Palringo.
    Also try Kickscreen for high quality movie trailers about cinema, upcoming and DVD releases.
    If your into sports try out the Eurosport app too, lets you customize the layout to put your favourite sports first.

    To dos- good simple list
    tv guide- shows next three shows. You can customise what channels appear on your list

    Palringo lets you create an account on the app in seconds its only asking you for username and password.. simple
    Then you just log in using msn details

    And Darren Pandora Box is free too

    Jaysus lads you are going gave loads fun when ye get really into the iPhone. I started reading this thread and decided I would count actually how many apps I had on my 3g 8gb (jailbroken) Right now. Was amazed to find I had 110 !!! Some like Navigon I don't bother have on phone all the time but keep it on iTunes cause it gobbles up an awful lot of space. Having said that I still have just half of the 8gb still free.

    Start loading up those apps guys!!

    Here are ones I find great.

    Shazam (amazing - I've tried to catch it out so many times)
    Amazon.co.uk (brilliant - again, been trying to catch out the lookup part where it'll find something you send a picture to them.)
    Movies Now! (Trailers and movie news, as well as showing you when films are starting in the cinemas near you)
    TVGuide
    Skype
    TuneWiki (Good at getting lyrics for songs, some aren't right though but it gets more right than wrong)
    Sky Sports Football Score Centre
    RTE 2fm, RTE News

    The iPhone port of the open source media player AFAIK. Looks like it anyway. Plays divx etc. No need to convert videos etc to mp4.

    Oh and I forgot two very important apps.

    DiskAid - makes your iPhone accessible via a Windows file manager - like a USB harddrive basically
