Veronica is a technology and gaming-centric video host based out of San Francisco. Currently her projects include Qore (a monthly interactive magazine about the PS3 for Sony) and Tekzilla (a weekly tech help and how-to show on Revision3).

She is also the media producer at gdgt, and writes a new column for MaximumPC.com called Trending Topics.

I would guess that like most people, I tend to keep the apps I use the most on the front page, and from there on out they’re organized by type or whatever random method I come up with that week. I haven’t mussed with the basic layout too much, because frankly I use the built-in apps almost as much as the ones I download myself.

I’m a big fan of Mint, so I keep the app on the front screen so I can check my accounts on the go. Tweetie has been my favorite Twitter app for some time now, but I’ve heard good things about Birdfeed as well. I’m a self-admitted Foursquare addict, so that has to be right at my fingertips when I’m out and about, and Things keeps me from going insane by laying out everything I need to get done that particular day.

Some of my other favorites include:

• Kindle: For those situations where a regular Kindle is just too big.
• Blizzard Authenticator: Allows me to securely log into my WoW account.
• FlightTrack / TripIt Pro: They’re different apps, but they both work great with my TripIt account so I always know where I’m supposed to be when I’m traveling.
• Taxi Magic: An app I once totally crap-talked is now one of my favorites, since they’ve worked out the kinks.
• OpenTable: Making reservations on the go is awesome.
• Oregon Trail: My favorite game from when I was a kid.
• Colloquy: My favorite IRC client for the Mac in a nice iPhone version.
• NetNewsWire: RSS reader that syncs with your Google Reader account.
• CameraBag: Has some really nice filters for the camera.
• ZipCar: So much easier than using the mobile site, and you can unlock the cars from the app!
• DropBox: Easy way to view your DropBox files on the go, including videos and music.
