My favorite iPhone apps

Mint: Love this application even though I am not a fan of apps that are simply conversions of their websites (just create a mobile friendly version of your site that I can access via Safari!!)
VNC lite/OpenSSH: Lets me access my laptop at home no matter where I am
Evernote: This is a good example of a web-service that has created an application for the iphone that actually adds value. Love the ability to take pictures and search for text within them – very handy after a long brainstorming session on the whiteboard. (more Evernote tips from Lifehacker)
Yelp: Nice but could me much better. I would LOVE if they included more sorting criteria for their results especially by number of reviews, cuisine, and proximity.
Files Lite: Great to throw ebooks/pdfs that I can read while I’m away from my computer. Use this to store an image of NYC Subway map on my phone that I can access anytime without a signal.
Skype: Awesome way to keep your phone bill down. I have a US/Canada plan for $3 a month that lets me call anywhere anytime unlimited. Also, if you jail-break your phone, you can use Skpye on a 3G network as well.
