@OMG! Ponies!:

BoxOffice is great. I want them to add in movie trailers like "movies.app". Now i have them both installed. BoxOffice because its great and well organized, and "movies.app" just for the trailers.

I'm loving Cube Runner (free), Spinner (also free) and Trism at the moment.
Everything else is either:

Not worth it.
...meh
both.

Installer FTW!

BoxOffice is great but its linked to Fandango, meaning you can't buy tickets for half the theatres.

NYTimes is still crap.

PageOnce, however, once it's set up, is amazing. All it needs is the ability to bill pay off of it.

God made the pretty girls pretty because he likes them more

AIM constantly crashes on me. WHats up with that?
As does WHERE app. Either exits the app or reboots the system entirely.

POS.

All the apps are cool, but the best feature of the 2.0 upgrade for me by far was the addition of Microsoft Exchange support. The calendar is just awesome now that it is in synch with my work calendar. Love it.

scingram

So when the true push tech arrives, we won't have to be logged into certain apps to get updates right? i.e. - AIM, Twinkle, Facebook.

jaredgibbs

And it's much better than before.

@MrBlahBlah: Aurora Feint was rereleased last night.

smackswell

How do I get it so that I don't have to input my password when I download apps? Is it a setting on the iPhone or in iTunes?

highfloydelity

AIM SUCKS! It kicks me out the app 9 out of 10 times. It should really be pulled until the app is more stable.

Thieves=Death. They don't realize how their actions can really screw people. maybe not death but a tortuous beating nonetheless. They are scum of the earth. I too lost a computer bag with a digital camera a Treo 755p, a HP notebook, wireless headphones etc. tons of gadgets. My insurance covered it all but it was the info that replacing really sucked and thank "insert your religious preference here" that I had no vital passwords etc. Like losing the wallet, keep it all but gimme my Drivers License and cruital info that's a pain to replace, as well as my lie of course. Hear me thieves????? Give people the ID Cards etc. you losers!!!!!

@Yeebles: I agree with you...what a waste of 10 dollars...I miss ALL of my installer apps! Even the worthless ones were better than the stuff on the "app store." The only apps I have now are facebook and pandora. That's it. I'm not paying for the other worthless ones, and I don't have a 3G so the other good ones that require the "phone" are useless.

@scoobidoo:
Agreed.

Shazam > Midomi

@jonathanbruder: Have you tried nullriver's Tuner? You can enter the stream url directly. Haven't confirmed how well that works but might help if you can't find a stream in you other apps.

@Parapraxis: Wow dude, WOW

theshortguy

Google Mobile-surprisingly easier than Googling in Safari
Stanza-eBooks from almost any format, from my computer
Labyrinth LE-shows how precise and sensitive the accelerometers really are

dogcow

I love Trism, which is a tilt and drag color tile matching game. Very addicting. That's $4.95.

Also, once you get past the confusion of how to use, Instapaper is tailor made for iPod touch users since you can simply save web content locally on your touch and access it regardless of web connectivity. No frills but free and works.

Love Pandora, too.

i dont even know anyone that uses aim...

More Cowbell rocks the iPhone 3G like no other app.

iPint is fun and free.

iDrink is awesome for alcoholics like me.

Best game is MotionX Poker.

Best app for guitar players: GuitarToolkit

Gotta have more cowbell...

I wish Apple would get rid of all the crappy apps that no one wants... Honestly, ONE flashlight app is enough.

VoidingWarranties

The last.fm app is ooober. Pandora is great, but the last.fm app is better about playing well-known artists and unknown music that i actually like. Unfortunately, tuner is not so great, with weak support for internet radio stations that are not on the default tuner. Sorry, party107 & paris-one.

I am totally into remote app + airtunes right now. I just got an airport express to do it the other day, and now I want another. Now I just have to sort out the "unknown error -15000" whenever I try to do my computer and remote speakers at the same time. And if only there was a way to stream Pandora though this.

@tangledweb16:

if only the guy I stole this iPhone from had bothered to get a 3G iphone, I wouldn't be in this predicament.

Just kidding.

What I had to go through to get mine:
-Sleep outside Apple store for 7 hours.
-Get rejected for being a loyal AT&T customer ("Rate plan not supported," even though I tried to change it.)
-Go to AT&T store. Claims no problem getting iPhone.
-Go back to Apple store. "Rate Plan not supported"
-Go back to AT&T store. "rate plan not supported for upgrade"
-Call AT&T executive support. Says take it up with apple.
-E-mail Steve Jobs.
-Get blown off by Steve Jobs. Says take it up with AT&T.
E-mail Steve Jobs again. ("I'm trying to GIVE YOU my business. if you were in my shoes, what would you do?")
-Get phone call from Office of President of AT&T. Says he received my e-mail, forwarded from Steve Jobs.

Get iPhone a few days later.

The best of the free flashlight apps is myLite ([phobos.apple.com]) It has the most features.

Post Scrip: I can believe that I wrote "I have gotten" in the post above. My roots are showing.

I have absolutely no luck with Midomi. Shazam works like a charm. Even picked out tunes in a noisy bar.

scoobidoo

I regret upgrading my iPod touch to 2.0. The apps on installer (1.1.4) were much better and free. and, yes I have jailbroken my iPod Touch 2.0 but there aren't any apps yet.

Yeebles

My current favorites are:
Starmap - the best of the astronomy apps.
Signal Scope - an audio and accelerometer tool (I am building a break out cable)
SignalSuite - for generating waves, noise, and sweeps.
Mobile News- and AP News agregator
SpeakEasy- for taking audio notes

I have gotten 3 bucks worth of laughs with Sound Machine.

DeadWriter

If only I could get an iphone 3G.

And if only some douche hadn't stolen my original iPhone, I wouldn't be in this predicament.

tangledweb16

Midomi is rubbish. Shazam is a much better application.
Bad call there Giz, I thumb my nose at thee.

tomcod

I had to go back to ipod 1.1.4 (pita!) for
iSolitare (the artwork is much better)
Chess (based on gnuChess)
Summerboard
Customize

Why is the iPhone the only major phone that does not allow a custom background?

@fisherKing: with the new update it's stereo over wifi

@Parapraxis: Really? That all happened?

Brian Lam

@Parapraxis: that's an awesome story. and i lurve how BLam has a star next to his name.

itouchgadgetsinappropriately

I find Safari to be quite crashtastic, and I'm not liking the keyboard much... Remote is awesome, but had to be installed after borking itself. I haven't tried Pandora yet, as the desktop version didn't work in Canada. All in all, not nearly as stable as WinMob (on 3rd party devices, with 3rd party apps), as long as you know how to manage mem on WinMob. Ironic. Still I am loving it a lot, as it certainly is pretty. I'd love it more with multitasking, cut and paste, more stability and a somehow less crappy keyboard...

Mandatory_Field

what about the slingbox app?, does anyone know if video streaming violates the sdk contract,

GRocker

@Parapraxis: so sjobs really responds to email? blam is a star commenter? really?

GRocker

@Mandatory_Field: And it needs Flash and/or Silverlight support.

Yep.

if you've got the time to read my e-mail, I can forward you the correspondence... pretty crazy stuff.

I kept pretty detailed notes of everything (Thanks, consumerist!)

Zenbe Lists: You should do a separate review of Zenbe Lists. Show how you can share it between multiple devices. Edit it on the website. It's really amazing! Exactly what my wife and I wanted for our iPod Touches. We share the grocery list. Then we can both add items. Simply amazing. They took a bad rap for their original TOS. But they fixed it. That's why they need a separate review. Point out that the TOS is ok now. Because the top two reviews on iTunes are complaining about their original TOS. sbstrd

Man...i like the Box Office App.
Yet again that's only for movie-goer lovers like myself.
Really helpful app though i also like the personal assistant one. Nice..

I'd like to nominate Stanza as it's a fantastic eBook reader that has a superb onnline catalogue and can share books when used with its Mac version big brother... but it's 07/28 and no one will see this post now.
