I have an iPod Touch and since the App Store has opened I have been loading it with apps. Here are my favorites so far.

My Top Ten

I tend to go a little crazy with iPod Touch apps. Many of these apps just sit on the iPod and eventually get deleted, or are used only once in a while. However, there are a handful that I use on a daily basis. Some I use several times a day. This list includes some general, useful apps, some productive apps (in case you want to get any work done), and of course, games (for when you don't want to get any work done.) Here’s a list of my top ten iPod Touch apps that I can’t live without.

General Apps

Let’s start with the general apps - as a bonus, most of them are absolutely free!

1. AP Mobile News Network

Free. This is a great source for local news, world news, and more. There is even a category called “Wacky.”

2. NetNewsWire

Free. I use the desktop version of NetNewsWire for reading RSS feeds from a bunch of sites. This is the mobile version. It has a few bugs, but it syncs with the NewsGator feed and keeps all of your subscriptions in sync from computer to iPods.

3. Weatherbug

Free. Sure there is the built-in weather application, but I like Weatherbug better. It not only give mores information, but it provides up to the minute weather information, and you can set it up for more than on location.

4. Traffic

$1.99 My wife uses this app every morning to check the traffic report for her drive to work. It is extremely accurate, and even works with Google Maps to give you a view of the problem areas. You can set it to give reports within a certain mileage range from your location. This app is definitely better than sitting around waiting for the traffic report on TV.

To Bob

The EyeTV App will let you stream TV, but you need Elgato's EyeTV software and hardware on your Mac for this to work.

text apps

I prefer the textfree plus because, you have your own number, ringtones, and more...but you have to be wi-fi to use textfree plus.

textree plus (lite)-free-lets you send 15 messages a day.

textfree plus (unlimited)-$7.99-send unlimited texts!!! but now for FREE!!!!!! special offer ends soon! hope I helped with the texting! from 13CAR97 age-middle intional-state-year born :)

Bookmarks

Bill,

I think you are referring to making a bookmark on the main screen. Yes , you can delete those like you can delete an app.

My favorite apps

I like the textPlus app. You can text to any phone in the nation, maybe even the world. I also like rockband, need for speed shift, and many other games. You can create your own app from the internet by going to that website and clicking the plus which will give you three options. Click the add to home page and it will be there, but i don't think you can delete it.

De Blob

One thing, I extremely recommend De Blob for the Wii. It's far better than the Ipod version. The Ipod doesn't even come close. My second comment is that you ought to put Rolando on the list. It's an amazing game that extremely polished and far better than others games of its price tag. It's as good as a DS game, and that's saying something for the limited capabilities of the Ipod Touch and Iphone. GET THE GAMES!!!! You won't regret it!!
