Apps you use most?

What apps do you use most? The facebook/twitter widget is number one on my list for most used, but it has a lot of room from improvement. In the home skype gets used the most due to poor cell coverage. And outside I would say google nav is my most used. Even in areas I am familiar with I still use it for reference and incase I have a craving for that unknown restaurant the epic can show me the way.

I made a short video covering the homepage apps.

Some ones that I didn't see mentioned when I glanced through...

Shoot Me - Get screen shots on your phone
Better Alarm - Nicer interface to manage your alarms and also has a desktop alarm clock screen.
FPse - PSx emulator, only available on android 2.2 and above.
ROM Gripper - quick easy place to get your games for your NES, SNES, etc emulators.
Astro File Manager - a way better variant of the MyFiles app.
Gemini Calendar - best calendar app I have found.
Quick Boot
SVOX Classic TTS - replaces the robotic sounding voice in almost any app

GO Launcher EX (best home launcher I've used so far)
Astro File Manager
QuickPic (FAR better/more responsive than the default 3D Gallery that comes with the Epic)
Uninstaller for Root
Shopkick (collect points while you shop by scanning barcodes and checking in at certain stores...redeem for cool stuff like Best Buy/Target gift cards, etc.)
Tweetdeck (post to Facebook and Twitter in one fell swoop...no need for two separate, beefy apps!)
Photowall (live wallpaper...LOVE it! Able to view personal photos from the phone and/or Facebook albums...cool app!)
Google Navigation (I travel a lot for work)
Weather Channel widget (really like that it alerts you about severe weather conditions...very handy when you live in a blizzard/tornado area!)
Radar Now (cool doppler radar type app for seeing live weather coming your way)
Handcent SMS
Lookout (always running in the background...good for peace of mind)
TouchDown (most simplistic, feature-rich business email/calendar/tasks syncing app I've used)

I also play games often but those change depending on my mood or whether I've finished them and I also stream music via last.fm, pandora and slacker depending on what I want.
