Glyn, my own personal favs are:

Informant HD – Having come from a Window Mobile background before getting into iOS, Pocket Informant was the defacto Calendar, Contacts and Task management programme. It’s not quite the same integration as I had before on my PocketPC due to Apple’s iOS restrictions but using Google Calendar I can sync information across my iOS devices & PC

Tube Deluxe – Given my regular travel into London for work meetings, this is great app for planning routes and getting status updates on the tube network.

Puffin – a good alternative browser to Safari with some neat little features such as a ‘mousepad’. Even better it allows me to watch the livestream of ‘The Grid’ on my iPad

Stanza – although I have a few Kindle & iBook format ebooks, I have a huge library of .pdf ebook. Stanza is a great free utility that allows me to manage & read my pdf library on the iPad. Works with Dropbox too!

AppShopper – another free utility that allows you to track price changes, updates, new releases etc on apps.

I use ‘Mr Reader’ for my RSS feeds. Similar functionality as Reeder really but I prefer it’s interface. I just wish I had enough time to get reading through all my feeds on a regular basis! I had read about 1Password ages ago but avoided it as they didn’t have a Windows app that would offer me a complete solution across all my platforms. Taking a look on their website again on the back of your post, I see they now have it available for Windows

Regards,
David

@Adrian…Yeah I use Evernote but don’t think I’m getting the most from it so will have to have more of a play; cheers

For me its got to be Evernote, especially as it syncs across all platforms and I can clip web pages for future reference. Also really like Flipboard to keep up with the latest photography and technology news.

Thanks for this helpful post, since I’m not yet on the iPhone/iPad yet the App that appeals to me is the 1Password, I have a different password for everything but these days it’s getting very hard to keep track of them all so I’ll give this a go.
The daily organiser is defo what I need, does it come with a big boot for some strategic kicking?

Cheers JT
