Just interested in what apps you are always using. For me in no particular order (iPhone) - RunKeeper, Safari, Mail, Twitter, Audible, TuneIn, Instagram...

The ones I use the most are RunKeeper, SleepCycle, iReal b (great tool for practicing jazz), plus Yahoo Japan's app for looking up train routes.

I also often use Skype on my phone because it sucks less than on my Linux desktop.

Notes, Twitter, Facebook, Maps, Safari and my own app Finderous.

Finderous looks pretty cool. Good luck! We've just launch out app in beta - not a mobile app yet neufit.com but we are gaining some traction with it to go mobile as well!

The Most Used app on my phone is Dictionary.

Apart from the usual suspects (Phone, Message, Mail, Safari): Whatsapp, WeekCal (Great calender replacement), Plaintext (Great notes replacement +dropbox sync), Dropbox, Alarmed (Great alarm + reminder app), Navigon plus the latest casual game I run (currently Modern Combat 3 (which still amazes me running it on a 3GS)).
