Inspired by Tessa's post who was inspired by Jeff's post, this is my version what I have on my iPhone home screen and why. I'm not as technologically savy as the previous posters so this might seem pedestrian.
iPod: In and out of music and podcasts all day, mainly to drown out the office background noise.
iCal: Synced to 6 Google calendars and my work Outlook calendar to tell me where to be when. Maps: While I can now navigate downtown Atlanta with relative ease, I still use Maps more often than I'd care to admit.
Wikipanion: There's never not a reason to not know the answer. Easier and faster than opening Safari.
Calculator: Constantly surprised how often I need a calculator.
Settings: Turning on and off wi-fi all the time.
Netflix: The best companion for long stretches on the elliptical.
Cameras: A folder full of different tools; Best Camera, Apple's Camera and photo, Instagram, Gorilla Cam, QR Reader and Red Laser.
Games: Nothing heavy, but simple fun time killers;
Sol Free - Multiple versions of solitaire and as the title suggests, free.
Snood - Until they fix some control and feel issues, I don't recommend it.
Word Wrap - Arrange letters into as many words as you can in an allotted amount of time.
Compression - A Tetris wannabe.
Touchmines - Basic looking and feeling version of Minesweeper.
Phase 10 - Great game for those who like the real life version.
Fragger - You throw grenades to blow up bad guys, physics based.
Monopoly - Got it on sale for $4.99, bonus of playing with people on the same wifi, but no true multiplayer like Words With Friends.
Angry Birds and Angry Birds Seasons - Totally addicted.
Words with Friends - Fun with 2 person multiplayer.
Tiny Wings - My new addiction. I can't put it down, but I've also been stuck on the same level for over a week.
Goodreads: On my home screen only to serve as a reminder to read more.
Evernote: My GTD app. I also have the desktop version for Mac.
Travel: Misleading title. It's where the apps for GoWalla, EventBrite, Cardstar, Four Square, SCVNGR, Scoutmob and Yelp live.
Clock: Aside from a morning alarm clock, I'm constantly using alarms during the day as reminders.
Echofon: I use this for my two personal Twitter accounts.
Twitter: I use this for the Fox Theatre Twitter account. Why two? To help ensure I don't accidentally post a personal tweet on the work account. That would be bad.
Facebook: I rarely use this for personal use, but for quick access to the Fox Theatre's Facebook page.
The Dock:
Phone - I hate talking on the phone. And by hate, I mean equal to my hatred for baked beans hatred. But I get that's it's a necessary evil.
Mail - Personal email only as iPhones are not supported at work. Don't get me started on this.
Safari - For surfing or going directly to a source page.
Messages - You can avoid making most phone calls by sending a simple SMS.

Not pedestrian at all! Totally going to download Touchmines. :)
Do you use Cardstar?
I do like Cardstar! Enabled me to get rid of all of my keychain garbage (grocery store, gym cards etc). If only it integrated with Four Square and the like, it'd be awesome.
