I know for sure tons of you guys here have one too. Any cool tri related apps out there anyone recommend? Or just any cool apps in general?

I love the Crash Kart racing app.

I use the various media interface apps all the time (plus they're free) - such as : Weather Channel, USA Today, WSJ, Bloomberg...

A fun one is "FMYLIFE.com" - how ever bad your life is - someone else has it worse.

I also have a smattering of "what the heck was I thinking" apps, such as the Star Wars sound effect app, the SpongeBob Squarepants app, Tetris...

 

sadly, no tri-related apps.

Facebook....suprised no one already said that
Weatherbug Elite.... this is my favorite weather app b/c you can actually view the map in motion and see where the rain is headed
I second Pandora although I usually listen to WunderRadio more
Midomi or Shazam..... for identifying music
Yelp
YellowPages
Flixster....for movie times etc.
ESPN Sportscenter
I have an app for my bank (Compass)
Paypal
Ebay
The only app I paid more than a few dollars for was ViewTIGolf......this has been an excellent program for golfing....it has every course I have ever tried to go to programed in and will give you the distance to pin from your location....along with a skyview of the hole.

Bump. Useful for sharing contact information (assuming the other person has it, too).

Universe Splitter. Torn between two options? Let a quantum device decide for you! (Or, as someone I know put it, "Want to split the wave function of the universe? There's an app for that.") I don't know how useful it would actually be; I just got a big, nerdy kick out of it.
