iPhone App Frenzy

What the hell did I post about before bloody iPhones!

Since my phone humble return, I haven't had an incident at all which is great. Not going to touch wood either - live life on the edge I always say. I've setup the wireless to link when I'm at home and downloaded a few apps to fill in my day. Here they are with a score outa 10 and quick review:

Lightsaber - 8 - For what it is, its good. Compared to something useful, its rubbish :P
Shazam - 9 - Load the app and put it next to a speaker playing a song. It will record and display the title and artist. Would have been 10/10 but i sang a song into it and it didn't return anything :(
iGlowStick - 1 - There's a reason its free
eBay - 10 - Great to keep track of auctions on the go. Also a good way to waste more money, top marks.
DrinkTracker - 8 - My only paid app. On first use, you create a profile with your age, height, weight etc. You then start a 'session' where you add drinks your having now or in the past to roughly calculate your BAC. You can choose a drink from the template or create a drink if it isn't listed. If your BAC hits the limit the display goes orange and it gives you a countdown until your back under again. Very simple but impressive actually. The only improvement would be multiple people sessions so it records the running BAC for a few of you.
Assassin's - 7 so far, haven't really dug into it yet.
Paper Toss - 9 - Simple, free fun. Chuck paper in an office bin based on the wind speed of a fan that's setup nearby. Highly addictive! My top scores - Easy 45, Medium 8, Hard 6. Bring it own!
Fast&Furious Lite - 6 - Graphics are great, gameplay is great. It only has 1 track as its a teaser to get you to buy the real game but fun all the same.
WildWest - 7 - Pinball table, entertaining for a while but it gets dull......just like the real thing!
Footy - 9 - This is an AFL Football tracker. It shows scores from past rounds, game times for upcoming rounds, channels and times of when they will be shown on TV. It got the current ladder aswell so its all you need down the pub!
Domain - 7 - Domain is a house finding app in partnership with Domain.com.au. A little tricky to use on the small screen but its up for the job. Have done a few searches and its quite good, shows everything relatively clearly so its the most you could expect.

Can anyone else recommend any? I know there are iPhone users reading..........and NO I haven't installed have2P!
