Maybe sticky this for easy to find?

Obviously most people have the usual things like Stanza, Spotify, shazam, etc.

A few from me.... there are obviously alternatives but :-
Wunderradio http://www.wunderradio.com/
nightstand / night stand  - 2 different apps that do the same thing... a flick clock alarm clock - the former also displays weather details.
iclaimit - to track expenses - you can take pics of your receipts, record mileage, parking, etc.
classics - very much the same stanza (but quicker imo) dozens of free books
teamviewer - http://www.teamviewer.com/en/index.aspx
mobile mouse - http://mobilemouse.com/
speedball 2 - yes the game... now on iphone
numberstore - free 0800 numbers
viber -- free calls to other viber users
mywi - make your iphone a wifi hotspot, - for jailbroken iphones only i think
3g unrestrictor - lets you use them apps that only work with wifi (I use it my hava/slingbox player - as they both say they wont work on 3g - but now they do!!!)
vtie - learn how to tie a tie :oD
Redlaser  - scan an item & off it goes to find if its cheaper elsewhere.
mobimileage - press start, start driving, press stop at destination & you have your mileage - handy for anyone who claims mileage expenses.
camscanner - I use this a lot to photograph petty cash receipts - it converts them to PDF & you can email them as an attachement or upload to dropbox, etc.
WorldLens - not paid for this yet - but its really interesting idea.... http://itunes.apple.com/us/app/word-lens/id383463868?mt=8
epicurious - great food/recipe app
HA Traffic - live traffic reports
RAC Traffice - like above
Tubemap - London underground map / start/destination to tell you where to change, etc.
Wordsfree - free scrabble that can be played over the www & facebook I believe
Instant Heart Rate - put your finger over the camera lens & hold it to the light (if you got LED backlight on an android all the better) & it will work out your pulse.
Supposed to be quite accurate.

This is now a feature on the latest iOS update...

To add to the list (iPhone and all free):

My top pick
Shazam - Hold it up to the speaker and it will tell you the song?
Met Office - Weather
 IMDB - IMDB
 Yell labs - Augmented Reality (AR) app for local companies
Layar - AR app that you can add different layers including tweets, resturants etc etc
NavFree - Free SatNav
London Tube - Tube map, route planner and AR guide to stations (Think this is chargable though)
RedLaser - mentioned above but good app!

IT Apps
VNC Lite - VNC
RemoteBoot Lite - WOL client
Apple Remote - Control iTunes from you phone and if you use airport express you can control volumes in different rooms (I like this)
Mobile Mouse - as mentioned above, but this is really good!

Others
Google - Allows voice and image searching
Dragon Dictation - Allows you to voice to text, messages and emails etc..
Conversions - unit converter
iTinker - Spirit level

Cool post

Super suduko - good for when you're sat at work waiting for stuff to happen
Ping Lite - great if you do networking, connect to wifi and ping severs, routers etc
Free Mouse - guess this is the same as mobile mouse?
Aroundme - finds whatever close to you, doesn't always work

Take a look at mobile mouse, it's a lot more than just a mouse it's a multifunction remote for your computer really, a mouse is only a small part of it!

Also just to say cheers to Egg for starting this, I've just downloaded a few new ones ;)
