I won an ipod touch.

I've got an XP Laptop and while iTunes worked the first time I fired it up (needed to enable the Touch), since I rebooted, the laptop crashes everytime I hook up the Touch.

I only grabbed free apps, and got a good smattering of games and utilities the first time around. I was micro-addicted to micro-farming, etc. I also downloaded a bunch of free Ambient sound apps, binaural apps, and some net apps (cooking, google earth, etc.). I really enjoyed playing with TapTu, but I mainly use the Touch for reading and music, and don't really enjoy surfing on it. Too much fiddling requred to get a READABLE browser display, for my tastes. I DO like surfing for graphics...

Since the first docking w/ iTunes, I have only been getting things from the online store through the Touch.

I am hoping that blackra1n will be my favorite (ipod Touch), but I haven't gotten it to work yet. My first attempt hund the Touch and I had to borrow another laptop to get a second iTunes loaded to do a Restore. Sadly, I couldn't remember what apps I had loaded originally, and I went a little wild using the iTunes interface to stock up on apps. I have so many apps that I can't see them all on the screens. I have to search for several.

I am weeding out the poorer sound generators, sleep aids, music apps, games, readers, utilities, bibles, cooking apps, search aids, bar guides, battery monitors, dictionaries, sudoku, a million ToDo lists and organizers, a couple of MindMappers... I did go a little crazy with the reload.

Anyway, favorites...
a boat tiles game. If I can find it again, I'll be happy. A fun, free game, and it had 100 levels.
Cows In Space game. 50 levels, IIRC
sudoku (don't remember which)
Slacker (I tried Pandora, but my saved stations didn't translate well).
(Moxier) World - weather
BigOven
Book Bites - Common Sense
eReader (many titles, currently reading The Sleeper Awakes, Last of the Mohicans, The Tempest... do not bother with Combat)
TapTu Search
Bing
AmbiScience (three free versions)
iRelax (not the Lite version)
Relax Helper Free
aRelax Sound Lite
iFarm
TapFarm
I REALLY want the offline Wikipedia app, but I'm too cheap to pay the $9, so I'll either do the online apps, or do a jailbreak and d/l one of the freebies.
