Shazam is, in different guises, available on other smart phones as well and does the following: if you hear a song on the radio (or other device) that you like but can't place, you start Shazam, hold it close to a speaker and wait. After a while, it vibrates the iPone and starts searching in its on-line database. And, in 8 out of 10 times in my case will produce the title of the song/tune! I'm still baffled by this

Weather Bug is a weather forecasting app, I use Weather pro, does the same, you can set your city.

Like the idea. Why don't you design it and then we'll see if we could submit it to Apple.

New here. Well, sort of. Registered a while back, when I got my 116710. Just getting around to posting. Not even been lurking since I registered because I've been so busy. Just thought I'd pop in to say hi, and saw this thread. Top five iPhone apps would be nearly impossible for me. Here's my top 11 list...

Urbanspoon
Evernote
Box.net
Atomic Clock
FreeMemory
Taptu
Shazam
Epicurious
WeatherAlert
TypeDrawing
TweetDeck

Paypal costs too much and it's more enjoyable sending interesting tidings! This way you never know what you may receive. Just like a box of chocolates! Maybe even some raspberries!

Shazam, is the most AWSOME ever... I also personally like the XM radio APP, I'm kind of an XM-addict.

I can't wait for the TOM TOM app.... anyone know when that will be released?

It will enable your I-phone to act like a GPS, with TURN BY TURN Verbal directions. I hear it will be about 80 dollars.

1. Pandora
1.2 TWC (The Weather Channel)
2. Facebook app
3. Shazam
4. Labyrinth 3D
5. Flixster

I put a 1.2 instead of going right to 2 because I use the weather app almost every 2 hours or so, just to check the local weather/radar, etc. Lately this state has been getting BAD thunder/lightning storms out of the blue.

I agree with most of the apps mentioned but I highly recommend reading the reviews on some apps instead of slowing your iphone with so many useless apss.
