I haven't got past my Scottish stingeyness to pay for the OS upgrade for my iTouch that allows apps yet So can't recommend any.

I think there was a fun accelerometer someone was creating in this Forum - to do in-car acceleration runs etc. Found the link :

When you connect to iTunes to sync your iTouch it will tell you if you need a system upgrade. Look at the section that shows info on your iTouch.

If you can connect to the App Store you already have the newer version.

I had a few updates, but they want some money for the latest update.

My favourites are;

Flixster Movies - reviews, clips, cinema listings based on GPS location
Ebay - much easier than using the browser and going to Ebay
Vicinity - tells you where you are, and whats near you (pubs, shops etc)
Holdem - great poker game, cant stop playing it
MyRail lite - train timetables - live departure boards etc
EPL Live - live premiership footie scores etc
Trace - a silly but great game

There are some crappy ones out there - read the reviews for each one!!

Agree, Holdem is a quality app. Always playing on it.
21pro is another good game.

Carling free pint - tap the button and you get a virtual pint on your screen. The beer moves as you move the iphone/itouch! very impressive.

I also have dynolicious, excellent app and costs approx £6 (might have gone down in price since I got it)
Tested it against the testing gear used by BMW car at bruntingthorpe and it proved to be very accurate.

Measures 0-10 to 0-100
G-forces
1/8 mile
1/4 mile
speed
and even bhp! dont ask me how but it does.

You get various different games, like MOB says just go through and look at the descriptions/reviews for each one.

Think OS 2.2 is the most recent and it'll cost ya approx £5

Had iPods for around 6 years now. I appreciate their limitations but they are great.

Try these

Airmouse - your iphone/touch will double as a remote mouse. Great for presentations on your laptop

Remote - great with Apple TV for controlling remotely

Koi Pond - no point but nice and its free

ipint - again no point but free

Bubblewrap - pointless game but addictive

Air hockey - nice little game

When connected to iTunes on your computer it will tell you if their are any software updates available. All iphones/touches from July are on V2.0. The fact you are asking about apps means you are on V2.0 as this isn't available on V1.0.

Enjoy

Vicinity agreed is worth well the price...
Dynolicious is good too and gone up to £7.49 now lol.
Love Flick fishing(not beans carsplosh)
Ernie Els golf for boring flights
Texas Holdem is excellent
Google Earth ok
Adrenaline pool ok

Anymore???

Good lord no... I can taxi them and fix them but that's all. In terms of flying a couple of months back for charity in Abu Dhabi I took on the test pilot on a A330 flight sim and got a better rating on 2 data checks. He gets $25000 pm plus expenses and max headaches. I get a lot less and have fun all day long.
