I have the 16GB 1st gen iPod Touch. My current favorite apps are:

AirSharing - wireless network sharing, use your iPod as a hard drive - no cables! easily the best app.
App Sniper - keeps track of the latest apps, price cuts on apps, and apps you want to "snipe" or buy when they fall below a certain price
Sportacular - latest sports scores, refreshes every 30 seconds, you can add fantasy teams player by player
AIM - AIM iPod app
Balance - helps keep track of your purchases and paychecks!
Trace - novel idea, draw-your-own-path platfromer
JellyCar - wacky physics-based car game
TapDefense - really fun free tower defense game

What are your favorite apps (especially free ones)?

Depending on what Firmware your on, You have to jailbreak your device.

- WinPwn if your on Windows

- PwnageTool if your on a Mac.

Jailbreaking takes like 2 minutes max, And allows you to installed 3rd party apps that are not signed by Apple.

Their also free, But you should really just consider upgrading to Firmware 2.1 - 2.2 for the AppStore.

Also if in the rare case of you fucking up the Jailbreak process (it's automated for a start), You can restore your device using iTunes.

saw a nice one on a mates iPhone/iTouch - called summat like "zoog remote" - turns your iPod/iTouch into a blue-tooth motion-sensitive joypad. Used with NFS it looked

Jailbreaking takes like 2 minutes max

oof. i have to disagree there. the process alone takes at least 5 minutes. that's 5 minutes of "is my ipod still working?". after that you can do practically whatever you want though. you can spend 2 minutes or you can spend days customizing it to your liking.

I first used WinPwn to jailbreak, And yeah thinking about it..

It did take abit more than 2 minutes.

I dunno, It depends on what Jailbreaking software you have and what version I guess.

Bevo: Nah; +718|6513|Austin, Texas

For me...

Free

TapDefense is a must-get. It's a free game with gameplay like "tower defense" if you've ever played it.
Darts isn't bad for a free game, and I also got
Checkers, Touch 4 (Connect 4), and TicTacTouch.
For wordplay I have hangman and Word Warp.
Solitaire Free isn't bad.
Topple is a decent "build a tower of blocks" game.
Cube Runner is decent,
and Trace is a fun draw-your-own-lines platformer.

Paid
My sister got Scrabble, which I took. Not bad, but not worth the pricetag unless you really enjoy scrabble or have someone who will play it with you occasionally.

She also got Spore (lulz), which has kind of repetitive gameplay, not really worth the money IMO but decently entertaining.

Labyrinth is entertaining (tilt-table marble game) but frustrating after a while.

I just got "Wings" "Chopper" and "Crash Kart" with an itunes gift card.

Chopper I've played for about 1 minute and I can already tell is worth the 99c price tag, pick it up for sure. Fly around in a chopper, picking up civvies and shooting down baddies. Good graphics for an iPod and good gameplay. It's on sale right now, pick it up while it's cheap.

Wings was $1.99 and not worth the money IMO. It's a flight sim, but controls aren't all that exciting and landscape is repetitive. No landing, taking off, or crashing either. Here's to hoping for an update.

Crash Kart (Bandicoot) seems pretty good, a mario-kartesque game with good controls and pretty decent gameplay. Recommended if you want a battle racing game, would probably buy if you have some spare itunes money laying around.

Yeah I like Chopper a lot too, especially with the $.99 price tag.

Fish Tycoon is also a pretty fun paid app - try the Lite version first to see if you like it.
