Daily, or almost daily:
Facebook, Tweetie, NASA (just started looking at it), Just Light (when I'm reading my kindle or a book at night in bed), Redfin (for fun), NYTimes, Fluent, BofA, Weather Channel(I check all the places my kids are living in--from Sacramento to Denmark) Regularly Amazon Kindle, 2 Across, pUniverse (this is new)
Daily
------- Email, browser and calendar (obviously) Weather Channel (prefer it over standard app) Dropbox Tweetie Instapaper Ultimate Todo (synchronizes with toodledo.com) Weekly -------- Shazam CameraBag Genius (camera app) Occasionally -------- Starbucks and Starbucks Mobile Card Blowfish (game) TripIt And a bunch of others I play with from time to time. But these are the ones I really depend on.
Daily
MLB's AtBat (but now that baseball season is over...) NY Times (so good I dropped my $14/mo Kindle subscription) Echofon (my preferred iPhone Twitter app) ESPN ScoreCenter (I'm a sports junkie...what can I say?) Techmeme (Always better in an app vs. browser) Weekly Chase (Simple but useful banking app) AOL Radio & iHeartRadio (they're why I ditched my XM subscription) Amazon's Kindle app (nice that it syncs your Kindle book locations) TweetDeck (my alternative iPhone Twitter app) CardStar (why carry all those buyer loyalty cards?!) FluentNews (a terrific multi-source news app) PopSci (Popular Science content as an app) ShopShop (can't forget the grocery story lists) The Word (the Stephen Colbert segment...hilarious) On the road USA Today AutoPilot (love how it uses my TripIt info!) IndyStar (nice to have my local paper on the road) USA Today (for those times when the hotel doesn't give you a freebie)

Less than daily, more than weekly: Dropbox, Yelp, RedLaser, ReadItLater, AppBox Pro, Kindle, TweetDeck, YouVersion Bible

(on a daily basis) Mail, Phone, Maps, Clock, Weather, Calendar, Messages, Safari (Less frequent) Youtube, Camera, Calculator, App store Free / Paid apps: (on a daily basis)Facebook, Echofon for Twitter, Chess problem apps (ChessQuest & Chess problems) (Less frequent) Citibank, Skype, Word wrap, Sudoku, Wikipanion, Glaurung chess
Daily: I use Twittelator for Twitter, Facebook, Shazam, Sol Free (solitaire),
Bloomberg, Huff Post, NY Times, FT, BBC Reader as I am a bit of a news junkie. Frequently but not every day: Delicious Bookmarks, Fandango, LinkedIn, Epicurious for recipes, Urban Spoon (to find restaurants), and Shakespeare from Readdle.
Daily: Calendar (customized to show Google Calendar)
iGoogle (Digg, news) Facebook, Twitter Amazon Kindle Sheep Stacker (if not moving), Trism (if moving) SplashID (for passwords) Mail to read Gmail through Exchange WeatherBug Elite (before I leave house in morning) iPod (for podcasts on subway, use Pandora at work for music) Clock (for the alarm), Ambiance (to go to sleep) Contacts (have both the set from my MacBook and from Google on iPhone)
Daily
OmniFocus (this is a lifesaver productivity app for the seriously organizationally challenged) The Carrot (tracking progress, or lack thereof, in multiple areas of my life...motivating) Weekly Dress Chica (PBS Sprout app for staying young and laughing with my kids. You too can accessorize a chicken with googly eyes and colorful poncho) Memory Pro (a brain stimulus while waiting for kids to get out of guitar lessons) Our Groceries (my custom lists of SOLE food and where to get it - sustainable, organic, local, ethical) Monthly Bump (cool and fun contact sharing app -- you bump fists while each person holds their iPhone and it magically transports your contact info and pic to the other person's phone) and I use my camera to take a picture of the grocery list on our kitchen whiteboard to refer to at the grocery store. I never forget the chocolate ice cream! Then I just delete the pic when I am done.
