Just got an iPod touch... what apps to get?
2009-10-11, 9:58 AM #1
My birthday is coming up in a week or two, and my dad was up at my school this weekend. He just bought a macbook pro, told them that "he graduated from college" and got the student package. Since he already has an iPhone through work, he gave me the iTouch for my birthday!

I've downloaded a few apps, but I've mostly just grabbed ones off of "Top 25" lists and such. I want to know some of the neat apps you guys use! I'm mostly looking for free ones, but if you have a REALLY good paid one, I'd consider it.

I have so far:
Dropbox
Police Radio Scanner (paid $.99)
Alarm Clock
Flashlight
Mirror Mirror
Battery Magic <-- (Looking for a good one of these. I don't know anything about this one)
JumiMouse
RepairPal
Tweetdeck
Twitteriffic (trying to decide between the two)
Remember the milk
Google
GoogleDocs
SaiSuke (gcalendar synch)
AppGmail
Wikipedia
WikiHow
Pandora
Your Rights

Okay massassi, what should I get?

Flight Control, Flight Control Flight Control.

I use Sky News a lot, I also really enjoyed the Monkey Island remake (but that's relatively expensive), Texts from Last Night is funny, Pocket God is great VFM (it gets an update every week), Shazam is free and excellent, Now Playing is BRILLIANT, Skype does what it says on the tin and Ragdoll Lite is worth a look for free.

iShoot lite is a fun timewaster. I have the fandango app for movie times. I.tv for tv listings. Umm I don't use it for apps all that much frankly, but I did write this post on it.
My girlfriend paid a lot of money for that tv; I want to watch ALL OF IT. - JM

Tweetie 2 is the best Twitter app available right now. It's got every feature imaginable built right in. So good. It's worth two bucks.

Also, if you have a Mac I highly recommend Rowmote Pro as my favorite app. I use a Mac mini as a media center hooked up to my Bravia, and Rowmote can launch/control several apps including Hulu Desktop and Boxee, you can also toggle a keyboard and trackpad.

iTracer is a really impressive 3D editing tool. It costs a little bit, but it's really cool. I use it to model chemical structures.

That's all well and good if you have an exchange server >.>

Tweetie 2, it's so good that I bought it having already bought Tweetie 1.
I Dig It, it's like that motherlode flash game.
GoldRush, it's like that motherlode flash game.
geoDefense, tower defense.
geoDefense Swarm, tower defense.
D.Chronicles, tower defense.
Infinity Gene, it's an all new space invaders.
Ambiance, it's like a mini itunes (free) store for ambient sounds like raindrops on a tent or a trickling stream.
Healing, some nice soothing musics.
Detty. Professional Expert.

A similarly awesome (and free) service is Dropbox, for syncing stuff between computers, which also has an iPhone app so you can view stuff in your dropbox on your iphone.

I have dropbox, but that requires it to be installed on the client computer. Air Share does not - it just shows up like a USB storage device.
