It looks like there are a few iPhone (and soon to be iPhone) owners out there, so I thought a thread on the top recommended applications would be useful
Would love to hear which applications other people recommend
I've only had mine for 24 hours, but I've had some experience with the iPod Touch - and the apps below are my personal top picks:
RDP - A way to connect to any Windows XP/Vista/2003 server using the RDP protocol (remote desktop). This is fantastic if you are a server admin or want to control your PC from your iPhone over GPRS/3G. There is a free version which I'm using at the moment, but you can buy a better version called WinAdmin if you have access to the US iTunes store. edit: I've now upgraded to Mochasoft RDP full version for a few quid, and it's worth it - you get macro shortcut keys plus better mouse abilities. It even works well over 3G, as I tried it out last night at the pub!
Facebook - A great little application that interacts with your facebook account, without needing to load the webpage via safari.
Google Earth - Not too practical considering that the maps application works well, but spinning and zooming on a 3D globe with photo-terrain is great fun!
iFooty - One for UK football fans, updating you on your team news, fixtures and live match text from the BBC.
