Return to the iSide

So, after owning an asus UL30VT-A1 for a month I decided that, since I want to start doing some iPhone/iPad development, I need to own a mac. It was either buy a mac mini and have two different machines other than my main windows desktop or sell the asus and grab a mac laptop. After finding a buyer for the asus at just a little less than I paid (the price has actually gone up since I bought mine) I made a trip to my friendly neighborhood apple store (getting the “Jobs” badge at the same time) and grabbed a shiny new 13″ macbook pro. new baby

My question to you loyal reader is, since I’ve been sans mac for quite a few years now, what are the must have apps that I might not know about? What apps make your life easier? I’m going to be giving aperture a try, but I’m not sure I’m awesome enough to justify $200 for it. What else am I missing out on to get the full mac experience?
