Itunes Applications

I love my ipod touch. I dont know what I would do without it. I use it as my mp3 player, watch movies and dvd's ive converted, internet browser at home when my wife is using the laptop or if Im just laying in bed. Now with the new Apple app store on Itunes, my ipod touch is also a game player, internet radio player, a bible, sport and news updates on the fly, a level, stream music from my computer and lots more. The cool thing about all of this is that all apps that Ive got so far are totally free. There are some cool pay apps to download but I havent tried any of those yet. Heres my list of cool apps.

Category 1 Must Have

* Aol Radio- probably a hundred stations ranging from metal, to techno, country, jazz, blues, soundtracks, and many many more. I personally love the different metal stations such as power metal, death metal, metalcore, thrash and they even have an all Metallica and Slayer station that plays any and every song they have released. The blues and their many dance/techno/house stations also are cool. The only negative is that you cant skip songs but thats not that big of a deal cuz you can just switch it to a different station. Ive discovered a lot of new bands that I like.

* Pandora- another internet music player that plays based on what bands you like. All you do is type in your favorite band make a new station and then it will find songs by them and other similar artists. I have a Tourniquet, Testament, Believer, Mortification, Hammerfall and many other stations that I have saved. Its cool cuz they let you skip 6 songs per hour.

* Simplify- another app program that allows you to stream music from your home computer to your ipod. Awesome.

Category 2 More awesome apps

* Truveo and Vsnax- two different apps that have current news, celebrity gossip and other cool videos to watch. I check them out every few days to find something cool to watch.

* Myspace- a cool little compact version of myspace thats still very functional.

* Mobile News- Associated press news that has all the newest major headlines and you can even set it to pull up local news.

* Pocketpedia- A music and dvd organizer that you can store your home collection and it pulls artwork and information straight from Amazon.com

* Ebay- just a compact easy accessible version of it.

Best Free Games

There are two different types of games available. Full versions and Lite versions which is still a full game just not as many stages as the paid version. Some of the lite ones are cool so maybe down the line Ill purchase the full version. I have noticed that some games start off being free and then within a few days they start to charge people to download them.

*PapiJump- friggin simple awesome game thats just a ball that bounces and you have to tilt the ipod to keep it jumping up the stairs without falling off the sides.

* Cube Runner- another awesome tilt game where you move your ship side to side to avoid brick walls.
