The DirecTV app is very cool. I can program my DVRs from wherever I am! Just awesome!

Fieldrunners!
 
I'm surprised nobody has mentioned Fieldrunners - great fun and addictive game, best tower-defense game out there. TapDefense is a good free alternative too...

Flight stunts - You need to fly various planes through different obstacles. Great waste of time.

Kayak and Expedia both have apps now.

As of this week my new favorite, and it seems to be the most popular on the App Store now, Skype! Finally!!!

Agree. Very addictive.

How is Skype working out for everyone else? I have tried it a couple of times and it cuts the call within a minute.

Is your phone jailbroken? If so you have to load up cydia and install an update to get it to work right. Otherwise it should be working normally and you may just have a bunk phone.

Yes my phone is Jail broken and I have Cydia installed. What is the update called?

I tried it again last night and it works fine for the first 30-40 secs then cuts out. Its not my wi-fi so looks like a bug with the software.

When I ran Cydia a few days ago, it told me there was a new update for Cydia itself, and a substrate layer that is important for Skype. So I loaded it, then loaded Skype from the App Store and all is working super.

I am at the beach in northeast Italy now, and I just used iPhone Skype to call someone in California over the free wifi they have in Jesolo. Crystal clear sound on both ends. ^^^

The only thing that I can't seem to get with iPhone Skype are stored voice mails from my main Skype acct.

I love Flight Control.

Just to be clear, since there have been questions, I have an old first gen iPhone, unlocked and jailbroken, running version 2.2. When I ran Cydia earlier this week, it prompted me to load the updates necessary to use Skype.

If you still can't get it to work after loading the necessary update from Cydia, try doing a full reboot of your phone, then run Skype before loading any other app. If that doesn't work, try removing apps until it does work.
