Default Essential apps for your iphone or Android phone?

There must be quite a lot of people on here now with either an android phone or iphone, I am keen to know what other apps people are using that they really cant live with out now?

On my G1 android I use all of the following daily:

acurrency - keeps track of currency rates

tunewiki - music player

shop savvy - scan and read barcodes to check online prices why you are out shopping

gmail: links directly to my main gmail apps account (push email)

K9 Email : links directly to my other 6 gmail apps accounts all on push email

nubinews: text reader for nearly all news sites very quick

chompsms : cheap international texts

Tvguide

google places directory: find local places such as food, hotels etc complete with reviews very useful!


anything i am missing?
