iPod App thread

[Dave]

As you have read in the EPIC WIN thread, I now have an iPod touch. I know there are a billion apps.

What are some of the apps you use and what are they. I prefer free ones but if they kick ass I'm not above paying for them.

If you have the one with a camera I cannot recommend:

any higher.

I check www.freeappalert.com daily to see what apps are lowered to free (2 days ago, Puzzle Quest chapters 1 & 2). I mostly use mine as a portable gaming device, though I picked up some free science apps, like periodic tables and star charts. I rarely twitter myself, but I like the app to see what people (I follow) are saying.

No camera. But now I wish it had one.

Fieldrunners is a must. Great time waster. I have tons of apps, but in the end I really only play a few games and have some weather apps/movie time apps, that sort of thing. I do lots of browsing though. If I think of anything specific I'll chime in again. Any kind of app in particular you are looking for?

An old Blog post I made on the subject

Looking at that post there are a few changes I would make. Tweetie2 is now just Twitter and still very much worth the download (especially since it is now free). I bought the full version of TODO and am not disappointed.

not even being midway through the MLB season MLB at Bat 2010 is very much worth a purchase, if you bought MLB.tv it is a no question must buy.

Apparently, avoid this one.

Plants Vs Zombies is an awesome, slightly different take on the tower defense mechanic. Highly recommended and fun. There's a free lite version, I think, but the paid one is totally worth it if you love the lite version.

iXPenseit is a great way to keep track of your budget on the go, and it exports to your compy if you need it.

Assuming you frequently have Wi-Fi:

Yelp is always useful.
Blizzard Authenticator is useful if you play WoW (or plan to play SC2).
TweetDeck
Bump may work on the Touch, I dunno. Great to get contact info from other people who also have iWhatever devices.

Epicurious is great for grocery shopping or recipes handy in the kitchen. I dunno how much you cook though.
