Useful:

Now Playing - cinema times
GPS Lite - mapping and routes
iOSMaps - more mapping
Camera Genius - better iPhone camera controls (anti-shake, voice activated etc)
PhotoBuddy - camera calculator (DoF, exposure, angle of view, sunrise/sunset etc)
MultiConvert - unit conversion
Mocha VNC / RDP - connect to remote PC
Net Utility - ping / scan remote system
WiFiTrak - report all WiFi in area

Entertaining:
TVCatchup - live freeview for BBC, ITV and 4
iPlayer - streaming from BBC iPlayer
Stanza - ebook reader

Games:
(got loads but at the moment I'm playing)
PicGrid - aka nongram, griddler, Picross, Japanese Crosswords
Robocalypse - nice little real-time strategy game
DoodleJump - always useful on a sh*t break
Flags Fun - more entertaining than it sounds.

A search for the other topics which asked the same question first would have been cool. But seeing as I'm here:
Sky+
Gazette
Meters
VNC

No other apps than those mentioned above but games wise the brilliant Flight Control is still one of the games I play the most, plus GD Swarm and GeoDefense get a lot of toilet/train time.

I haven't got an ip hone, but this program has almost convinced me to get one, apart from having to draw with your thumbs :/

WeatherPro is brilliant, TuneIt iCarRadio works really well on Edge, lets me listen to 6Music, Flickr, Mobile Fotos lets you upload pics direct to Flickr, RedLaser is good for scanning book and CD barcodes and getting lots of price choices, Amazon UK, Wikipanion, CoPilot UK, Shazam, Star Walk, PacMan, Space Invaders.
[edit]iMapMyRide is good for bike training[/edit]

Shazam - amazing but ultimately useless
Sky+
Last.fm
Connect4 - even the lite version is unbeatable. I am 132-0 down.

VNC or RDP (Remote Desktop) do the same thing as logmein and are free.
