I've had my iPhone for a few months now and can seriously say that I do not ever want to part with it! To me it's a phone, web browser and games platform in one, with a big bunch of very handy applications thrown in. I've got about fifty apps loaded, but there's only a few that see daily use. I thought I'd highlight them over here, because they deserve some extra credit :)
In no particular order, they are (where possible links go to dev site, not appstore):
* NetNewsWire, all my RSS feeds on the go.
* Trein, trip advisor the dutch railways.
* TapTap Revenge, a free rhythm game.
* WhiteNoise, loads of soothing background sounds.
* Maps, Google Maps on the go.
* BeeTagg, clean and fast QR Code reader.
* SHOUTcast, >25.000 Internet radio stations on 3G.
* Kana, training me on kana.
* YouTube, duh :p
* World Subway Maps, photos of subway maps (like Tokyo).
The past few weeks my iPhone has really proven itself as my awesome assistant at home, at the office and on the road. I never liked full fledged PDAs or "smart phones", but for me iPhone is the perfect mix of "dumb and smart phone" :)

I'd heard you mention this software before, but I'd never visited the website. I had to search with Google for a few minutes before finding it.
It seems that the Nanika team are currently working on an iPhone version of "Metro", which is expected to be released in early 2009. I'm definitely looking forward to trying it out once it becomes available!

I use 'ShoppingList' a lot. Jot down groceries that pop to mind when you're at home or at work and you always have an up-to-date shopping list in the pocket :)

Here's some good news! Technically speaking I won't be needing the "Metro" application that Niels mentioned because the Google Maps application includes public transport schedules. Of course this doesn't cover ever single city in the world (nor every country), but cities like Osaka and Tokyo are definitely in there.
Now all I need is the inclusion of "My Maps" into the Google Maps app and I'm set. As you may know I use "My Maps" to plan my trips to Japan.
