Let's help out those who get a new iPhone. Let them know apps they must-have including productivity apps, games, photography apps, music apps, etc.

I would direct them to my profile where they could check out one of the many lists I'm creating or maybe even check my Apps library for a more extensive look ; )

productivity app: "Task This" - I've only just started using this, but so far is looks like it has a lot of potential.

games: "Syd Sym" - A wonderful little puzzle game, but then, I am biased, since I made it.

photography apps - I don't use any camera apps at all, the in built one works fine for me, in conjunction with uploading via the (official) Facebook & Twitter Apps.

music apps - Again, I don't use any 3rd party apps for music on my iPhone, the iPod app works great!

Associated Apps:  Facebook, Twitter, Task This, Syd Sym

I think these are my definite must have apps that I use or play with regularity. MotionX GPS Drive is only useful in the US, however so if you are elsewhere, don't bother with that one. Flickit is obviously only useful if you use Flickr. Touch Mouse is the best app I've found for controlling the mouse and keyboard on your computer. I use it as a remote to watch movies when I am sitting on my bed watching Hulu or Netflix or a DVD on my computer monitor. And it's free. I left off all the apps that come when you get your new iPhone, but quite a few of those are obviously useful. Safari, App Store, iTunes, Clock, Calendar, Contacts, etc.

I'd also say welcome to the family!

I would help that person to come up with categories and then suggest a "starter" app or two for each one. For example, they might find the following categories to be important to them: Productivity, Games, Music, News, Health, Social Networking, and Shopping. I'd then refer them to apps that fit their needs in each category and have the happy iPhone/iPod owner take it from there!

Not to be impartial *grin*... but if you are an avid reader, teacher, or librarian with a large collection of books then you may be interested in Book Crawler. Instantly scan and log books using the integrated barcode scanner and never wonder again about what books you have and have not read again!

A great app like AppMiner will help you sort through the wheat and chaff as well as save you a lot of money in the early days.
Everyone remember getting excited about every app you came across? I could have spent fifty dollars easy my first week if I didn't take a step back.

Reeder, 2do, Evernote, (possibly) BudgetCare

There are many others I really like, but those are the ones that make it a powerful tool IMO.

Also: most expensive games go down to $.99 once a month or so, so don't spend $4.99 on a fancy game.

I just recently got an iTouch and my new favorite apps are Fingertrap and Urbanspoon!

Fingertrap is pretty addicting, part of the game is keeping your finger on the screen and collecting coins...problem is I keep forgetting if you take your finger off your screen the game's over!!

haha

and UrbanSpoon is awesome anytime I can't decide on where to go for dinner!!

Advanced 911 so I can text 911, send photos to them, and my location. You can't do that with the iPhones Messages (SMS/Text) app as a message sent to 911 goes nowhere!!! In fact, Advanced 911 is the only app that supports this!

Plus it's completely FREE and no ads.

The apps I use daily are Pandora (haven't tried Spotify yet, but that might even be better), Words With Friends, Word Assist to help lookup words for WWF, Kindle, Zite (personalized news reader), Facebook, but just because having it installed helps make other Apps that use FB take advantage of Single Sign On, otherwise I don't like the FB app very much Soundhound for identifying songs on the radio and getting their lyrics, Magic Heart for sending love notes to my friends!
