Apple recently announced that there are more than 15,000 apps (applications) in the app store. My iTunes shows I have downloaded and tried 189 of them, but even going through those, there are only a handful that I would actually buy if I had tried them out first.

Based on that, here are 22 apps that I actually recommend to other iPhone users, as well as the reasons why I recommend them.

As you know, several of the core Django developers went to the Washington Post to work, and they just announced several open source components that look promising, quoting them:

• django-projectmgr it is a source code repository manager and issue tracking application. It allows threaded discussion of bugs and features, separation of bugs, features and tasks and easy creation of source code repositories for either public or private consumption. (Looks like an alternative to Trac, but in Django.)
• django-supertagging, an interface to the Open Calais service for semantic markup.
• django-massmedia, a multi-media management application. It can create galleries with multiple media types within, allows mass uploads with an archive file, and has a plugin for fckeditor for embedding the objects from a rich text editor.
• django-clickpass, an interface to the clickpass.com OpenID service that allows users to create an account with a Google, Yahoo!, Facebook, Hotmail or AIM account.

The source code is released under the permissive Apache License, version 2.0.

(Thanks to Mike for making me aware of this!)
