Hmm, Lets split up the recommenadations a bit

Document and Reading Related -

* Stanza - One of the best ebook reading programs available on the iphone.

* eReader - A Very nice readerw which syncs up with eReader/Fictionwise

* Files - A great program for just getting your documents on the iPhone. It allws yout o just copy files and folders onto you iPhone, and access them on the go. It also allows you to place bookmarks inside documents, which is really handy.

* Bookshelf -A Really nice reader which natively supports non protected Mobi/PDB/PRC and has a companion program to easily allow you to access a folder or HD over your network.

I Use all four for different things, Stanza for general reading, and eReader for all the stuff I buy off fictionwise (Though stanza supports it as well, like to keep it separate).

Files is great place to store important documenst, and text files which i want I access to at all times. Bookshelf, I just point at a folder where I've stored all my Mobi formatted files, and just download the ones I want to read actively.

Entertainment related -

* Twit.am - Access to the TWIT Live audio feed and chatroom, a definate must if you follow tech news.

* Fstream - Streaming Radio app which allows you to add your own streams.

* France24 Live - Live Streaming International news video.

* Shazam - Music ID App, allows you to ID whats playing on the radio or TV

* Midomi - Music ID app, which also allows you to sing or hum the song.

I Use a couple of others like Spotify, but which are not availabe to you I believe.

General -

* Appsniper - Allows you to track and see price in price of different apps in the App store. Its a great way to see whether or not a app has really gone down, and to have active watch list of apps which will inform you when a price has changed. Best $1 Spent.

* Wikiamo - Great interface to access Wikipedia. Much better then the official app.

* Convert - Best multiple conversion App i've used, and while there are a ton of free ones available, the slick interface and extended fuctionality is worh the buck it cost.

* Photgene - Nice basic photo editor which allows you tyo make a few changes such as Levels, Exposure, Colors, RGB, crop, straighten, etc. great f you want to do a bit of minimal editing befor emailing photos ftraight off the phone.

* Facebook - Great interface to access facebook, better then the web interface in many ways IMHO.

* IRChon - nice little IRC client

* VLC Remote - Nice app which allows you to control VLC over wifi, allowing normal play back function, modify playlist etc. Relly hand if you use VLC as your primary media player.

* Air Mouse - Allows you to control everything on your computer as it acts as an additional mouse and keyboard interface, and works nicely, though is a little finicky for my taste.

These are just a few of the great apps I use pretty regularly.
