Scirocco Central

having finally cracked and gone i-phone for work has anyone got any good recommendations on apps to spare me spending days trawling through i-store

Dynolicious ! times 0-60 etc calculates, BHP ,G force ... very cleaver app and surprisingly accurate.
Shazam, (good for music Pub Quizes)

Talking Carl. Just to be very, very silly.

Around Me, so you can find anything you're after close to where you are (bars, coffee shops, ATMs etc)

Petrol Prices. Gives the best fuel prices within a chosen radius of where you are, or you can choose the location.

The other ones I use a lot are Amazon (which has a really useful tool where you can take a pic of something that you want and it'll keep it for you until you're ready to order), Local Concerts (which brings up all the local gigs within a selected radius, and even has special alerts for bands you've got in your iPhone), Facebook, Sky News, and ICanHasCheezburger (but only because that's the only way to get Failblog on your iPhone).

Shazam's fab, though apparently the newer version only allows you to find five songs a month, which is crap.

Worms! - Endless fun

Other than that, I use Facebook a lot and I also have the Navigon App to use as a SatNav in the car.

Yep this is true. But it is only something like £2.99 maximum to upgrade to the Shazam Encore app which gives you unlimited song recognition. But obviously if you have one of the previous versions which was free and has no limit, then it sounds like you guys were lucky!

Friend of mine like this one

Good for keeping track of running or cycling fitness.

ebay, sky sports football centre, facebook, msn messenger, tv plus, quickoffice.
trapster - notified me of police presence on the a217 today.

if you commute into london like me then the trainline and underground map are handy.

oh, and you have to try the scirocco r 24hr challenge. It would be rude not too.

if you like star gazing the "star walk" app is good for checking your favourite constellations

Sky + is good if you are out and about

If your into photo's Panoramatic is a must

congratulations so you decided to post in the iphone topic for what conceivable reason then?!

Fat booth - Really gets the laughs going.
