There are so many great apps, it just takes a few hours browsing to get them all, have fun

You run Shazam, it "listens" to the music, and then analyzes it and (most times) comes back with the track name (and, of course, the option to click through to iTunes to buy it ).

Weather - get OzWeather or PktWeather ($2.49). At the mo' I prefer the former. They cost, but they're worth it, because the built-in weather app is crap, its forecasts never seeming to be accurate or have anything to do with what the BoM is showing. Plus, the bought apps show extra stuff.

The ABC app's (free) not bad either, if you're an ABC watcher/listener/reader.

NSW Food Watch (free) - This app works off the NSW Food Authority database to highlight (by "Nearby", "Map", or "Latest") those food places (restaurants, bakeries, etc.) that have been naughty in regards to hygiene, etc. It's an excellent app, though might make you a bit paranoid.

They're just some I use on my iPod Touch (I might be getting an iPhone 3GS shortly).

Cheers,
Marc

PocketGod = Fun!

Thanks for all these suggestions....I had already downloaded some of them, but you guys gave me a few more to add to my list. I have a similar App to the Shazam on my cellphone and I use it all the time. It will be nice to have the ereader and kindle applications so I can have access to that many more books!!.

I can't find this app. Is it called files?

Yes, Its Files (Email, Document Viewer, File Storage) by Olive Toast.

This is the iTunes Link

They also have a free lite version available to try but which is pretty limited but worth looking into before spending the $ to buy the paid version.
