Well I have lived with this baby for a couple of days now. Mobile Safari is taking a bit of getting used to but everything else I am finding pretty intuitive.

I have looked at most of the built in stuff and I am well impressed. It is great as an iPod. Press the button an say "play album Frank" and seconds later distinctive tones of Amy Winehouse are in your lugholes.

I have installed a lightsabre app and Shazam, a spirit level and a flashlight, a Twitter client and a retro dialer. It seems silly but I just love the retro dialer. I am on the lookout now for other great apps. So if ant of you iPod Touch or iPhone users have any recommendations I would be happy to hear them.

Mr Edd is developing a Flickr application, which I want to be the first person to download and put on miPhone.
I'll be getting the Facebook app and maybe Skype, other than those, I'm not sure I want anything else.

Interesting. I know you can upload from mobile phones already, so what will Edd's app do, I wonder.

I have an app called "ShoopingList", which is useful as I don't have to find any paper to write my shopping list down on, and I don't have to remember to take a pen with me to cross off items I've bought.

I use IM+ when in meetings to chat to people on MSN, it does a few other IM services too.

I've got some games as well, all paid for:
Pocket God
The Sims 3
Spore (The purple one likes this)

And some free games:
TapDefense
Topple
Lemonade
Rectangles

I've got a few that are useful for networking and stuff, but probably of no interest the the forum Cat :P

An Ereader seems like a must have. I will have to find a nice one. Shopping list sounds like a good idea too. I was going to use notes but a dedicated app. would be better.

By the way my cable modem died today so these posts are all fromy iPhone. It is not quite as quick but is very useable. I am missing the Macs global spelling checker though.

Eucalyptus is a very nice app, if you're interested in the classics.

Let me know if you find a UK centric one. The ones I've looked at all seem to think I'm shopping in America.

You could pay the extra and get tethering set up...

Jailbreak it and enjoy free apps.

I did with my iTouchyourPod. Its brilliant, and only took like a half hour from start to finish. Cydia is awesome, too! :)

ShoppingList by Wener Freytag allows you to edit the units, it doesn't save them though :(

As long as you're not enjoying free apps which should be paid for, my mate had downloaded Monopoly for free (when you're supposed to pay for it), I gave him a slap for that, he should know better doing a computing course.
