Favorite App so far.... Developers please see link to Announcements above.

Definitely Remote for iTunes is the best iTunes Remote app available. Worth the $5, I don't miss my iPod Touch for remote control anymore. Extremely simple to set up as well, no issues whatsoever. If gmote would work with playlists I could probably stick with that, I do like that I can stream my music to my phone with gmote.

And on the subject of iTunes, iSyncr is the only other app I've paid for and it's been worth it. Doubletwist, Windows Media Player, and everything else I tried with my Evo just wouldn't sync correctly. It wouldn't include all the songs on a playlist and I'd get duplicates and whatnot. iSyncr worked perfect the first time. Between iSyncr and Remote for iTunes I don't need my iPod anymore unless I want my entire library (I have 7k songs on my iPod Classic).
 
Record It (UK Only) [Austin Reid] - allows you to browse the SKY+ channel listings and set any program to record - works a dream!

Unit Converter [Sunny Moon] - believe me when I say this baby will convert just about every measure known to man - thousands of them - but thankfully, you can hide categories / specific units you're not interested in seeing

Pkt Auctions eBay [Bonfire Media, Inc.] - eBay app - easy to use, tracks bids, items you're watching, items you're selling etc
 
If you listen to music on your phone, "Album Art" is an amazing app to get all the album art for all the songs.. works perfectly.

Foursquare is pretty awesome to sort of share with people where you're location...

Ringdroid saves me cash, I make my own ringtones with it...

Tiki Touch is pretty cool, it's a walkie talkie app.. works well

TubeDroid is by far the best app... It downloads YouTube videos in an .avi format or .mp3 format

SPB TV works well, I live in SoCal, so I always watch traffic reports on Channel 11 before I leave work.


Let me know what you think of my picks.
 
As far as a perfectly running functional app...you can't beat LauncherPro Beta. Don't be scared off by the beta, it updates all the time and has never crashed out on me. It is an alternate home screen and page setup for your phone. You can add additional screens to your home screen and after you default LauncherPro with the home button, everytime you hit home it will bring up a thumbnail of each of your pages! Completely customizable! Check it out you won't be dissapointed! AND ITS FREE!!!!
 
I got 2

aCar-amazingly detailed car info logger.

Torque-with a bluetooth OBD2 sensor($30 on ebay) the cheapest and most effective scan tool as Torque is free!!!!
 
Most used: voice search. I'm new to screen typing and manage a somewhat respectable 20wpm, but voice search is just amazingly accurate that I use it as often as possible. First time in my life that voice commands to a computer wasn't frustrating to all hell.

most shown-off: google goggles. More impressive to people than an accurate voice search (which most people expect to work, even if they are insanely surprised when it does).

most looking forward to using: Laputa ereader (and it's amazing selection of free books)

Best deal: Meebo. Seems to solve my "being charged for im's" problem since I don't have a text plan (didn't want one) note: yes, it's free, but it's already started SAVING me money, so that's a pretty good deal in my eyes.

Runners up: scanner radio, soundhound, redbox, kindle, shopsavvy & note pad
 
Hi i hope one of you can help me I have launcher pro on my HTC desire and when i pressed the home page it came up as an option along with the original setting but i chose the original setting and now i don't have the option of the Launcher pro and i can't find it in apps etc so where do i find it?

Any help will be much appreciated i realise this is probably the wrong place to write this question but i found a recommendation for launcher pro on here....so....
 
Go to:

Settings-->Applications-->Manage Applications-->(Find The Launcher You Are Currently Using)-->Clear Defaults

Press the Home button and you should have the option. If you don't, then go back to the market and download LauncherPro again.

Search, pay for, and use ROM Buddy. It's perfect.

... or don't pay anything and just download the easily available roms. It's not like the places that charge are paying the creators. You can literally find free workable roms within the first three google results for a google search of the program name.
 
Swype is my favorite by and has far made the virtual keyboard my friend (I came from a blackberry).

Retro camera has been a lot of fun too.

I like these apps, but don't have a need for them very much:

Do you feel like it affects the performance of the phone in any way? I read that one guy had 166 apps and was having some problems. Just want to know when enough is enough. But it looks like I have a LONG ways to go.

For Me it does after i did the 2.1 update most of my apps randomly launch. when i use task killer to try and close them all, it will freeze up my phone and sometimes cause it to restart. i have approx. 80 apps give or take.
