I'm not big on apps but I will tell you the few I have and like. I only paid for one.
Radio.com - CBS radio stations
iHeartradio - clear channel radio stations
I did the above so I would not have to pay for the XM/SIRI on the phone.
MA Parks - MA State Park maps. I paid for this one
Starbucks - It saves me money as I tend to lose gift cards with balances.
Not an app, but the iBook feature is cool. There are many free books out there.
Motor Trend
USA Today
Southwest
NetFlix
The Weather Channel
CNBC
Fox News
Fox Business
I have local TV channel apps: WFSB.com(CT), WPBF (Florida).

I'm new to it as well. Haven't downloaded a ton of apps but so far:
Rhapsody: If you're already a member this app is excellent. You can download anything from their library (millions of songs) to the phone for offline listening. Sweet.
GoSkyWatch: Point the phone in any direction and it identifies which stars you're facing. There are a number of similar apps for iOS and Android. Don't know which is best.
Free apps I downloaded:
Pulse: I have this on my Nook Color and I didn't hesitate to get it on the phone. Basically a compilation of news sources but the interface is excellent. It refreshes content regularly so you can read the stories offline.
Engadget: For the tech nerd in me.
Asteroids Gunner: Basically a version of the old Asteroids game. Excellent for a free game. Nice graphics by my standards.
REI snow report: For skiers and riders...snow conditions at ski areas. It doesn't look very good for AZ types that already watch the conditions like a hawk. I'll likely dump this one.

Urban spoon, use it when you don't know where to go out to eat, or when you have a specific idea in mind
oh, and offender locator. Lets you know local offenders, pictures and what they did
ok this is my last one... 5-0 radio. let's you listen to police scanners anywhere you want. I was away this summer but my girlfriend used this during Hurricane Irene and said it was pretty wild.

Siri
So I'll hijack the thread a tad so as not to create another thread and turn this into an iPhone forum.
Siri is arguably the most interesting part of being a new iPhone user. I've been playing mostly with the speech to text with usable, not perfect, results. Here's an article that clears up some questions I had about punctuation. It's interesting.
