I second this. You'll never be late on paying a bill again.

We should do a paid recommendations thread from the regulars here as well. I'd do that but I don't have regular access to a desktop.

The following are just my recommendations. I'd recommend asking about other opinions as well so you get the app that best fits your needs. Also a disclaimer, these are 'best' according to my opinion alone, although for a lot of apps I can say I've actually got hands on experience with some of these app's competitors.

Pocket Informant - schedule and task manager. Syncs to Google Calendar and Toodledo.

Instapaper Pro - save articles for offline reading

Outliner - great for lists, checklists, and brainsorming. Syncs online so you'll always have a back up of data.

Instaviz - A learning curve to use (you may need to visit their site to get everything), but the best mindmapper/flow chart app out there. It helps me organize my thoughts and see how everything is connected.

Touch Goal - quickly record and chart whether you kept to a new habit or performed an action for a day. It's got me doing some things more often.

Bodybook Fitness Journal or Gymbuddy - both great gym logs, look into other apps if you need exercise instructions though.

Readdledocs - if just for sending email with attachments and getting the attachment sent back free of the email.

ooTunes - best Internet radio app

Xewton Music Studio - fun music app

BeatMaker - another fun music app

Beejive IM - best instant messager

Picture Safe or Video Safe - Locks pics and allows for file and individual organization of pics.

Photogene - crop, rotate, filter for photos, etc.

Photoforge - curve toolgreat for pulling detail out of shadows

Uniwar - online turn based multiplayer strategy game.

Galcon - fast paced online strategy game. It's a battery killer though.

Wurdle - great for killing short periods of time

Real Racing - best car racer

Deep Green - best offline chess app

Triazzle - beautiful puzzler

this tread needs to be merged with the other and then closed.

Can the OP ask that this gets locked. That way we have two main threads, one that is for free apps and one for paid.
