What are the best iPhone-only apps?

I've had an iTouch for about a year now, so I'm well versed in the best applications for it. I'm also familiar with the bits that it's missing - camera, GPS, external speaker (iTouch now comes with a speaker, but first generation did not).

Well I just bought an iPhone, so I'm wondering - which ones are the apps that I simply could not have gotten for iTouch? The ones that really make use of the iPhone only features (like gps, camera, etc...)
Tip for best answer: M$0.00
Separate topics with commas, or by pressing return. Use the delete or backspace key to edit or remove existing topics.

You can leave an optional "tip" with Mahalo's virtual currency, Mahalo Dollars. If you are asking a difficult question that might require some research, or if you'd like a wide variety of feedback, a higher tip often leads to more answers to your question.

Here are a few,

Tuner Internet Radio - an Internet radio app. You could have done this with your touch, but with a constant data connection everywhere you go, it becomes useful in the car, on the bus, etc.

EveryTrail - Cool app for GPS tracking and mapping, and even posting it later on the Web.

Klick - if you use Flickr, this is a great way to view photos on Flickr as well as take and upload your iphone camera shots. You can geotag too with the GPS action.

Camera Bag - a fun app to mess with your iPhone photos by simulating the look of various old cameras.

Amazon Mobile - take pictures of products to remember and get a link to the matching product back via email.

Evernote - you can now use the Evernote iPhone app to take photo notes. Evernote will run OCR on the text too. Extra tip: To get a clear shot of close-up pieces of paper try the Clarifi case from Griffin: http://www.amazon.com/Griffin-Clarifi-EasyDock-iPhone-Black/dp/B0015B7X94?ie=UTF8&tag=wwwokaythings-20

Although the Amazon app will run on the iTouch, too, you can use it on the iPhone to take photos of things and have Amazon's mechanical turk laborers dig up more information about them.

Also, Pandora is one of the best Internet radio apps ever, and as the first answer says, it's good to have that constant data connection for it.

And the Google search app will let you speak searches into the phone, instead of just tapping them in on the keyboard.

And although I'm certain to be laughed out of the forum for this, while iFart works on Touches, there's a lot more point to having it on an iPhone where you can actually make the sound come out of the speaker… (Well, OK, so the second gen Touch has a speaker, too. Still.)
