This is the list of app that I use almost everyday at my current startup on my iPhone and recommend to my team internally.

1. CardSnap ($14.99 for pro or $0.99 for base version) - Great way to scan visiting cards into your addressbook. Take a picture from the iPhone (works only with 3GS) and the app does the rest.
2. Yahoo Messenger (Free) (or Beejive at $9.99) - Both of these apps have built-in push notifications. Great way to stay in touch with your team when you are out of office. Beejive works for MSN, AIM, ICQ, gtalk etc besides Yahoo IM.
3. Evernote (Free) -  the best notes taking app there is. I do not know if there is a better way to capture notes. Use it to capture notes during the meeting, take pictures of the whiteboard after the meeting and to digitally capture all the odds and ends that life throws your way. Works from your iPhone and your desktop.
4. ScannerPro ($6.99)- This applications can scan any paper document (multiple pages) and save it as PDF. The PDF can then be emailed, send to evernote or send to dropbox. It also mounting of iphone as a network drive to allow quick transfer of documents from a Mac or PC.
5. Google Analytics ($2.99 for Pro or Free for base version) : You need this if you are a web startup. You need to know all the time how visitors are doing on your website.

Other apps that I have on iPhone but I realize I do not use as much as I thought:

• LinkedIn - I do not do enough contact research on iPhone I guess
• TripIt - Might useful if you do many trips but not otherwise
• Skype - great app. good voice quality. but very slow for voice. I think I would use it a lot more if it has push notifications.
• JiraMate - I need an app for my Jira. Unfortuately, this is not a good choice today. I have blogged about lack of a good Jira app on iPhone.
• Snatch - Great way to control your slides and presentation from iPhone. Unfortunately, its a little clunky and immediately brands you as a dork in a new group.
