YouTube

The speed, responsiveness and overall feel of YouTube's mobile apps does vary from platform to platform, but whatever phone you're using, YouTube access on the go is pretty much essential. Otherwise you might miss a kitten playing the banjo or something.

IMDB

For choosing a DVD or solving those 'what was he in?' conundrums, mobile access to THE online movies site is a must, and the various official apps are all pretty smooth. Blackberry users feeling left out can visit Skweezer.com's mobile version of the site.

Twitter

Twitter is much like a certain well known yeast-based spread, but if you're in the 'love' camp, then you'll definitely want the official app on your phone. Otherwise you won't know what Stephen Fry had for lunch till you get home, will you?

Big Oven

With over 170,000 recipes to choose from, Big Oven is one of the best recipe book apps we've come across. You can add your own recipes, store favourites in a personal folder, or find suggestions for using up your leftovers - all for free.

XE Currency Converter

XE.com's Universal Currency Converter is the leading currency website, and now you can have that same functionality on your phone - unless you're a Windows Phone user that is, in which case you'll have to be content with a mobile website for now.
