no Last.fm or Pandora on the list? For shame...

This is awesome, #19 is really good news for me. In fact, I have been waiting for this to buy an iPod Touch. I am a pharmacist and use epocrates very a lot. I will also recommend iPhone/iPod Touch to my friends.

Hey Apple - What about an App Widget - eh?

Aurora Feint is an amazing game (surprised it is free actually).
Ipint is fun tioo.

That is, an OS X desktop widget so we can immediate updates on the latest App releases.

I notice that eReader is now available for the iPod Touch - This is the single most exciting news I've heard since the initial release of the iPod Touch. Y E S! ! !

Neither of my favorite free apps made it:

- MPG (Track your mileage)
- BoxOffice (Beats Fandango's iPhone-incompatible iPhone website)

---
Jott (voice-recording/memo) --- Awesome app!

However, I removed it due to privacy concerns. Many seem to think Jott tracks way more than it needs to (phone usage, etc). You get a text-translation of your memos after a while. I imagine someone sits at a desk and transcribes the voice recordings.

I already have most of those, and I have to say shazam is totally unreal. Google for songs. I hope they get a cut of every song bought due to their app.

shen, I have to agree. I think shazam is really cool! I tried it on some obscure tunes and it nailed them. Never loose at the song name game again!

I don't see my favorite, AOL Radio. All my favorite talk stations, any place I go.

Pandora FTW. I can put my iPhone in my dock and stream Pandora.. love it!

To add a few more

Stanza is an "eReader" with an available library of tons of copyright free works, many classics. worth checking out.

Cube Runner is a little game that is fun to play. Need to kill a few moments in between meetings or whatever.

I just love how small and light those app sizes are. You can put a ton of those apps on your iPhone. The limit will be the number of pages the iPhone allows. What is it, 7 pages of 16 apps?

Cube Runner FTW, the control in that game is just fluid and easy, very simple graphics and gameplay but very addictive. Now that I've found out how to build my own levels I'm going to start really having fun!

Aurora Feint is a great game, but has a number of bugs and gameplay components that aren't there yet, get it anyway, you'll have fun playing it, I promise!

The Fandango web apps works fine on my iPhone. I downloaded the BoxOffice app as well though, but I have yet to try it.

The PhoneSaber app is cool. It'll be a big hit at ComicCon. I already "sold" two others on the iPhone with that app.

@ Cubert: Try Moto Racer

If you look at the Extreme site for the list of apps, it says the New York Times is left wing?!?!?!

To the left of Adolf Hitler of course, by any measure, but what kind of right-wing looney-land are these people living in? And what ghastly trouble are they hoping to get the rest of us into?

To anyone who has a mileage tracking.....

Can you set the distance travelled to kilometers ? Can you set the monetary amount to something other than dollars ? Can you export the results ?


Thanks in advance !

Alex, welcome to America, where the center is "left", the right is "center", and there is no left. Don't forget to check your brains at the door......

Showtimes is the best movie apps so far and mylight strobe is better than light. WAY more options.

Shen has it spot on. Isn't it funny that a person who is 'conservative' gets labelled as such and goes with it. A person who is 'liberal' rarely will get labelled and will never ever admit it.
Ah, the games we play.

yes, the NYT is left-wing. Compare their editorial page with the Democratic Party platform.

Sorry, i just got your post. I agree. There must not be a Left because the NYT says so.
