So we finally upgraded from plain old phones to smartphones

We do have an ipad so I have some idea of apps but the ipad is not connected to 3G or anything so we just use it at home for games and quick internet access etc. What apps are great for on the go? Or just in general? Didn't bh's husband actually make an app?
Re: Fave iphone apps?
i love the hipstamatic app for photos. besides angry birds and the usual apps (facebook, yelp, etc), i like a lot of other photo/postcard apps:
8mm (video)
postagram (you can send postcards with your own photos)
shake it photo
howdy (e-mail postcards, again you can use your own photos but also choose their designs)
yup! "It Happened Here brings a city's past to life by providing descriptions of the most interesting events that have taken place at or near a user's location."
we're up to 6 cities now, including DC. here you go :-)

other apps I like:
Kindle - it will sync with the one on your iPad (if you have it) and you can read books on your phone, too.
Google - it has a voice search feature that is pretty cool
Pandora - although it eats up your battery power
Flashlight - has been most handy when Warner drops stuff under tables at restaurants ;-)
News apps for WaPo, NPR, and NYT
Open Table
Yelp
The Weather Channel
And this is random, but DocuScanner has been great...works just almost as well as a regular scanner and is a TON faster.
I just got an iPhone about a month ago and I looooove it. Here are the apps I've found so far:
Color Splash
camera+
Instagram
Netflix
Pandora Radio
Shazam (song recognition)
Washington Post
Amazon
ShopSavvy (bar code price scanner)
Pinterest
Etsy
Fandango
AllRecipes
Google Translate (not terribly reliable, but fun nonetheless)
Kayak
TripAdvisor
Yay! Have fun. It's so addictive!
My faves:
-Facebook
-Google Reader
-Epicurious
-Words with Friends (I have the Words Free version)
-Pandora
-Open Table
-Photo aps: Instagram, Pixlr o matic, Luminance, Smug Shot (uploads camera phone pics directly to SmugMug)
