OmniFocus, bar none. - Andru Edwards

TwitterFon, Pandora, Evernote - BCK from twhirl

Omnifocus, BeeJive, Wikipanion+ - Sparky

My 3 are aSleep (or some similar sound generator), Darkroom Pro (or Night Camera), and I guess Evernote. Alternate #1 would be Shazam (I love this app, but I guess I don't use it all the time), and second alternate is Klick. Too hard to choose just three; there are many more alternates in the wing, not including jailbroken apps! - Cheryl Jones

Can you use Omnifocus standalone? I need a good task manager but $20 for the iPhone app and $80 for the desktop app is hard for me to swallow. - Paul Reynolds

Hmm Omnifocus looks cool, Is it worth the price? - Fee501st

Yes, you can use OmniFocus standalone on the iPhone or the Mac. There is a lot of beauty in using them together though. I know it is $100 - but it has EASILY paid that back. In fact, if it were $1,000, it would have paid for itself by now as well, as hard as that is to believe. - Andru Edwards

Thanks for the reply Andru! I really liked the natural language entry that iwantsandy.com had and I was looking forward to an iPhone app for it... then Twitter killed it. Remember the Milk isn't as good. - Paul Reynolds

Yeah, OmniFocus is the best I have found, and the Omni Group is a fantastic dev house that takes feedback constantly and works to continue adding in new features. It is a delight :) - Andru Edwards

Andru: Cool, thanks! - Fee501st

If I can make a separate list of jailbroken apps, I would choose: QuickGold, SBSettings, and Boxee remote. Boxee remote is my new favorite app; it works really well with Boxee on my Apple TV. I wish I could use it for the stock Apple TV functionality; I don't understand why Apple or anyone else hasn't released an ATV remote for the iPhone/iPod touch, actually. Winterboard would be my alternate, since I like changing my themes, and I like having weather information on my lockscreen. - Cheryl Jones

I have the touch and my #3apps are TwitterFon, Mint, & Bejeweled 2 (great for the long train rides while listening to audiobooks) - Bill Maslyn

Remember the Milk is actually another one of my favorites. OpenTable, Shazam, Chess with Friends, CraigSearch are other favorites of mine. - Veronica

1. Tweetie 2. NightCamera 3. WeatherEye - Chris Luckhardt

The ipod itself.... Imob, for a laugh and nothing else. Ask me again but this time use the N95 as a device ;-) - Richard A.

Twitterfon, RTM, SugarSync (Evernote). Sorry there are 4 :) - Michael Sheehan

Twinkle, Mail, Bloomberg - Bryan Bartow from twhirl

Amazon, Gas Cubby, Google (as well as Evernote and Mint) - Rob Haas

I still can't bring myself to use mint.com. I love the idea and think it's an excellent service but until OAuth is supported, i won't be using it. I refuse to give mint.com the passwords to my financial data. Good call on the other two. Love both! - ·[▪_▪]·

i.TV, SportsTap and Twitterrific #3apps - Sylvain Nadeau

Email (I know, boring!), Maps, Twitterific - Susan Beebe

SimCity - nick from twhirl

It's funny, I'm not that much of a moviegoer, but I love Movies by Flixster. It really shows off many of the iPhone's strengths (and none of its weaknesses). I also use ShopShop a lot. Besides that, I made a bookmark icon of http://twitter.com/breakin... and it's a convenient way to keep up with the latest headlines. - Gordon Vaughan

OmniFocus, Evernote, and Yahtzee - Glen Campbell, esq.

iBluesky (mindmaping), toodledo (to do list), and facebook - Christian Burns

Definitely Evernote, Twitterfon and Shazam ... and Safari of course :) - Johannes W.

Brightkite, Twitterfon and Facebook. Feel free to stalk me on Brightkite :) - Baard @ Pixum

I didn't know so many people were using Evernote! Interesting. What do you mainly use it for? - Veronica

Tweetie, Facebook, Evernote, and Mint. I use Evernote for photo and voice notes - love the text search in pdf files and images!! - No FB

@Veronica, I use it for voice and photo notes on my iphone, but mostly i like the screen capture to share screengrabs and webclippings. - Fee501st
