    • Monkey Ball (~€8): very entertaining, even for a non-gamer :D Crashed a few times though
    • Scribble: handy for notes
    • iPint: just try it -- it requires skill ...
    • Light: came in handy just a few seconds ago
    • Remote: loving this. Very handy. Finding it harder to justify buying an Apple remote right now
    • BubbleWrap: harder than you might think!
    • Currency: handy for converting all my millions to different currencies
    • iMaze: don't waste your bandwidth. Far too reactive to movement to play it
    • Facebook: previous version was really buggy but the latest release has fixed a lot and added lots of functionality

    Currently using

    Remote - Great app, slight disappointment in that the AppleTV aspect of it only finds items that are on the actual AppleTV HD and not what is being pulled from your iMac.

    IGN Reviews - Basic, but great for those who want a quick review of a game they're considering purchasing.

    Midomi - Great tool. Picks a song by either your singing, radio playback or typing lyrics/song title. Great when you just can't remember that song. Fairly accurate too.

    Facebook - Updated since lauch and a good tool for keeping on top of it.

    Tomatoes - Pulls reviews from rottentomatoes.com

    SportsTap - Great app. Pulls results from Premier League, UEFA, PGA, NBA, F1, Nascar etc

    Trying out NYtime and an RSS reader now.

    I'm a huge Mac fanboy and to be honest, I haven't been that impressed. I just hacked my phone the other night with Pwnage 2.0 and installed a few apps.

    Midomi is probably the coolest and most useful app I have found.

    Twitterifc is cool... when it works.

    Oh yeah, how could I forget about Remote?!? I figured Apple would release a few more apps kind of as a basis for what the new apps should be like but I guess they did do most of the work on 2.0.
