Someone like you (who is into web dev) should definitely consider getting the Palm Pre instead because all deving for this is done in HTML/Javascript/CSS.

Hello David.

I’m a developer from barcelona so sorry for my english. I think that you can consider another movil-phones that Iphone from apple. For example the Nokia 5800 XpressMusic. Its a great phone that from my point of view is better than iphone.

I love Kindle for the iphone/ipod touch. Yelp is also a great way to find restaurants while on the go. Evernote is a great way to organize everything from screenshots to websites. For entertainment – definitely get WordFu. It’s addictive.

And it can’t hurt to load my band Hydrovibe’s music into your iphone too! Our new album will be coming out in about 3 months…

Most of these are paid apps but worth the money (imo)

AirSharing – Move files on and off your phone using WiFi (and Web DAV)
FTPOnTheGo – FTP Client. Allows you to upload, download and edit the content of files. Very handy for web developers
Palettes – Allows you to store colour palettes in you phone for design projects. I use this more than I thought I would
WebTools – A few handy domain tools (whois, ping and domain availability)
Analytics – Google Analytics on your iPhone. Very handy.
WWW? – Check the status of all your websites at once to ensure they are online
iBlogger – Great if you use Expression Engine (sort of)
iStat – If you’re on a Mac this will give you an overview of it’s system resources on your phone. RAM usage, CPU, etc.

I also agree with the previous mentions of Skype, 1Password, Things, Remote, Shazam and Facebook
Finally, if you do decide to jailbreak your phone, Cyncorder (video recording) and xGPS (A GPS App) are also worth a look.
