beyond this...what kinds of things do you need or are into? I have a lot of apps.
Let him do his thing, and then you get him out. No messing with him for laughs.

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!

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.

this mess was yours / now your mess is mine
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?
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.

Now let us crush something soft and watch it fountain blood. That is a girlish thing to want to do, yes?
Seconding pretty much everything that's been recommended.
Pandora!
Groupon lets you redeem your coupons straight from your device. (presumably with a touch this would only work in places that have wifi, so that may be less appealing for you)
Reeder is a really nice Google Reader app, if you use teh goog for RSS.
Some of the things I use most are mobile apps for services I primarily use at the computer but sometimes really badly need when I'm away: Evernote, Dropbox, RememberTheMilk, Mint, etc.

I am a woman of various inclinations and only some of the time are they to burn everything down in frustration

Does anyone have specific recs for these? I could use one, but there are so many choices I don't know where to start.
