Here's a breakdown of the apps that I use on a daily basis that are 'must-have' for me:
- Firefox - the hugely popular multi-platform web browser. Not as fast as Safari, but plugins galore and compatibility.
- Mail, iCal, iSync and Address Book - the essentials for day-to-day stuff and syncing to my N95.
- iTunes - love it or hate it, I happen to love it. And I need it for my iPods, obviously.
- iPhoto `08 - neat photo management, although I'm not sure if I like it as much as the previous version.
- VisualHub - converts any video format into another. Useful for streaming vids and DVDs.
- Adium - instant message app that supports every major protocol.
- VMWare Fusion - virtualisation at its very best. Recently moved from Parallels.
- Connect360 & MediaLink - streaming my music, videos and photos to the 360 and PS3. Very neat.
- Spaces & Exposé - not applications as such, but I've grown so used to using them I couldn't live without them.
- Soundtrack Pro - for music production / tinkering with audio.
- Max - for audio file conversion.
- Cyberduck - FTP uploading.
- Time Machine - backup for the bone-idle.
That's the basic list. There are likely many more applications I have come to rely on but have failed to mention here.
Here's my current Mac desktop for January
