Love the thing and amazed at how many good free apps and even premium apps (a lot only being 99 or 1.99)

Now what are some good apps to get for it? :D
 
I haven't payed for any apps yet (including the update to the 3.0 firmware!) so I'm a bit limited in what I can comment on, but so far Remote has been cool. Being able to control iTunes on my laptop from my Touch while I'm walking around the house doing stuff is fun. Other than that I've only grabbed a couple of games that held my interest for a few minutes and then got chucked.
 
Tris (tetris clone)
Peggle
Bejewled 2
StoneLoops (Zuma clone...there is also the real Zuma, but I havn't played it)
Flight Control
The Weather Channel app (the free version...the payed version isn't as good)
Facebook/Myspace mobile
Topple 1/2
Trism
Fling
Pandora Radio

Those are the games/apps I most regularly use.
 
iPod Touch apps, where do I start.

Bejeweled 2
Action Bowling 2
Checkers Free
Batter Up Baseball
Google Mobile
MySpace Mobile
Catcha Mouse
Uno!
Cops & Robbers
Crazy Snowboard
Blackjack Free
Bike or Die Free
Ice Road Truckers

Those are just a few off top I have over 67 apps and the iPods in the living room. There are alot of good apps for a little money, and a ton of great ones that are free.
 
First two pages are my most commonly-used apps:

As far as I’m concerned, Yelp, BeejiveIM, and Jaadu are indispensible. I suppose they’re a bit less useful on a touch though than an iPhone.


Next three pages are less-used apps, in alphabetical order:

Press the Power and Home buttons at the same time and it will take a screen shot and place it in your camera roll.
 
I second the pandora radio app. It amazes me how well it works everytime. After you sign up you can use it on your ps3, pc, or mac also. If you like music then it's a must.
 
The games I play are Flight Control and Tetris. I've got EchoFon (a Twitter client) and I use Facebook Mobile. That's on the Touch. The wife uses the same on her Phone, but I've just got Sky+ remote record working, so she can record programs on our satellite box from anywhere in the world. Which is so full of win it's unbelievable.
 
SlotZ Racer it's a must for racing fans, in my opinion. It's a great slotcar racing game with loads of features. It's not free, $1.19AU from the App store, which is very cheap compared to other apps I've downloaded.

It has two single player modes, Quick Race and Single Player. Quick Race puts you in a random car and track for a set amount of laps. Single Player is a bit more complex, it features Single Race, where you can set up a race with any car, circuit and other options. There's also a practice mode, where you go out on the track by yourself and as the name suggests, practice. Then there's Championship where you can go through a whole "career", starting with championships consisting of 3 lap races and working your way up through endurances and Grand Prix-like championships. You are also able to create your own championship, which works pretty much the same as Single Race, but you're setting up a whole championship. Winning championships unlocks more cars and circuits to use in the other modes.

There's also my favourite feature, the track editor. You can design pretty much any layout you want, with elevation, corners of almost any kind, banking, "lane switcher", chicanes and some rather bland scenery. Then you can go off and race the AI on your circuit.

Another game I found pretty entertaining was Audi A4 Driving Challenge which was produced by Audi themselves. It's more of a time-trial racing game where you work your way through a limited amount of courses beating the set times in the Audi A4 2.0T. You are able to unlock two more cars, the A4 3.2 and R8 by beating the record times. Unlike SlotZ Racer, this game makes use of the Accelerometer which takes a little getting used to but once you do, you should be fairly comfortable despite looking a little stupid in public.

Audi A4 Driving Challenge is a free download. I don't find it as entertaining as SlotZ Racer, but it's still quite enjoyable and worth it if you're an Audi/automotive fan.
 
Well I meant what you guys think are good games/apps :P
GeoDefense and GeoDefense Swarm are very good IMO. Both have a lite version to try. Tap Tap Revenge and Tap Tap Dance are also very good IMO.
 
Im surprised no one has mentioned Real Racing... I downloaded that not too long ago and im REALLY enjoying it... great racing game... reminds me a bit of GT on PSP, but then with the graphics a bit less pretty, the sound is very good though and racing can get intense! :)
 
This is me.

As you can see I try to keep the main page clean,

and the second page is reserved for games only.

On the last two pages I mostly keep a lot of crap. I would however recommend trying Andrew Johnson's Deep Sleep, it's a really cool app by this hypnotherapist guy who will talk you into sleep when you're having trouble to. Normally I wouldn't be into that but it kind of works.
 
Lots of changes, though I’ll just show the first two pages:

Yes, I use the Phone app so little that I moved it out of the Dock. I use Tweetie now for Twitter, as it’s very feature-rich (the geotagging features are amazing). Soulver is an amazing alternative to any calculator app – it allows you to do line-by-line calculations and references like Excel. Simplenote does over-the-air syncing and has a much cleaner interface than Apple’s Notes app. Pastebot is wonderful – multiple clipboard manager, and if you’re on the same LAN as your Mac it supports sending or receiving clipboard contents with your computer.

On the second page, all of the apps in the second row are for manipulating images, because I like trying to make artistic images using just my phone’s built-in camera and editing using iPhone apps, no desktop apps.
 
Anyone else know some good free apps? I have
1. Unblock
2. Lemonade Stand
3. Dactyl
4. Toilet Paper unroll
5. AC World
6. Omegle chat

I also bought rockband, and some others.
 
I've passed a lot of time playing Alpine Crawler and the sequel Alpine Crawler World. The second is $0.99 I think, first one might be free now?
 
damn app store is far too addictive and I find that I spend far too much money on it. That said, I've come across some great free apps.

My favorite free camera app would be Gorillacam. It's what the standard camera should be like. Traffic Rush is an addictive free game as well.

Favorite paid app is Street Fighter 4 but it was quite expensive. Here are some shots of what I'm currently sporting... as you can see, I love my games :lol:

I had more apps, but iTunes decided it didn't want them and wiped them from the iPod when I synced one day :|
 
I had an app for gtp forums. I don't have it any more. I have searched and searched and can't find it anywhere. I have used the search function here but so many results not correct. Anyone got a clue where to find it?
 
There is no app for GTP AFAIK. What you probably did was went to GTP in Safari, clicked on the (+) button, then chose “Add to Home Screen”.
 
Bump an epic thread. I downloaded and have been playing angry birds for awhile now. There are hundreds of levels to play through well worth the .99 or 1.99 it costs.
 
I have 11 pages of apps. Most of them are loads of CR@P that i thought would be good but were shocking.
 
Heres some of mine:

Spider: the secret of bryce manor
Spider: Hornet smash
Sonic the hedgehog
Sonic the hedgehog 2
Dark nebula
iShoot
F.A.S.T
Emoji Icon app
Funny pics
Facebook
Mr. Ahhh!
Geodefense
 
Constantly browsing Itunes for new cool games, there seems to be plenty of great stuff in there, it's just hard to sift out all the crap available on there as well. Thankfully I haven’t wasted too much money on bad games of late. Some good ones I've picked up recently are:

Ravenswood
Ironman 2
Earth Worm Jim
Guerrilla Bob
Zen Bound
Fruit Ninja
Wolfenstein 3D
ABOVE
The Impossible Game
Spider: the secret of bryce manor
Streets of Rage
