Any apps out there that you guys can't live without?
Either Cydia, Apple App Store or repositories.

So far all I've installed is BTStack GPS

I have one. It's called Remote Mouse. And it's the coolest thing ever.

So here's what it does. It turns your iPhone into a mouse/keypad for your PC.
Now the reason I think this is so cool, I have a HTPC set up, but no remote.
Wireless mice and keyboards are bulky to use and don't have the greatest range.
The Remote Mouse on the iPhone will work anywhere it gets a wifi signal.

It's free, it's easy to set up and it works great. I'm typing on it now.
All you have to do is install the app from iTunes onto your iPhone and a small receiver app onto your PC.
When you run the app on your PC it gives you an IP address, enter that into the app on the iPhone and it's ready to go.

Get the app for your PC/Mac here: http://www.remotemouse.net/
And the app for your iPhone/iPod: http://itunes.apple.com/app/id385894596?mt=8
Or iPad: http://itunes.apple.com/app/id431038047?mt=8

You should see the remote control app for XBMC on your iphone, its rather cool.

I made one of these apps when Jiggy was still around (communicated with AutoIt on the pc) and a mate made one with html on the iphone and a java server on the pc.

I saw it in the app store, but I haven't used XBMC in a while.
And with Remote Mouse, I don't have to use Media Center, either.
It's just like having a mouse and keyboard, all in one small package.

I actually thought of making one, with your assistance, before I saw that they were so many already made.

After actually using it a couple times, I would really like to have media keys. At the very least, volume control would be nice.
I may search out better options. Remote mouse is very useful and works exceptionally well, just not really designed for media playing.

As you said there are lots of these and so I cant remember which one it was....but theres one out there that lets you make panels out of html and on the pc end it could do near anything....might look for my old IPA collection later, havent touched it in ages.
