Speaking of apps, I just bought my very first Apple product, an iPod Touch, and was wondering if anyone had any good recs for apps that I should check out?
Zoe: Jayne. This is something the Captain has to do for himself. Mal: No! No, it's not!

Got a question about technology? Ask it here. Discussion of hardware, software, TiVos, multi-region DVDs, Windows, Macs, LINUX, hand-helds, iPods, anything tech related. Better than any helpdesk!

Remember how I was fussing about the call volume on my new iPhone? I shall fess up to what is now the "oh duh" reason. I had left the protective film on the front and back until I got a case for it, cause I wanted to keep it...protected. Well, said film covers the speaker. As soon as I took those off and put a case on it...ta-da, perfect volume.
Yeah, I discovered that hours ago and I still feel stupid.

Art Crawl!!!
Angry Birds!
(Free or pay)

And I agree about Pocket Frogs.
You can find cool things like food calculators of various types.

And then Ortus came and said "It's Ortin' time" and they all Orted off into the sunset
I second the game recs from everyone. (And if you get hooked on Angry Birds, don't forget about Angry Birds Seasons!)
Seesmic for Twitter & Facebook. (The standalone Facebook app is also very good.)
Remote if you have Airtunes.
e-readers - Stanza, B&N, Kindle
AroundMe and Yelp for local things. Epicurious for food. Couch to 10k for running.

Kathy, search for the free iBattery app -- it's very useful for telling you exactly the percentage of battery life you have left, instead of you trying to guess from the teeny icon up in the right-hand corner.
I am a dork and have The Weather Channel's app, because I like their level of detail. (Sometimes I think I am Hank Hill.)
The 99-cent Skee-Ball app is PURE CRACK.
If you like to-do lists, Wunderlist is free and AWESOME.

don't forget about Angry Birds Seasons!
I have a friend who says his 4-year-old son only knows about holidays because of the seasonally changing Angry Birds.
