Best Itouch Apps

Have Apple EVER referred to the iPod touch as an iTouch?

Personally I don't like the name and it winds me up when people use it. It is just another member of the iPod family, and therefore is named accordingly an iPod [model] just like every other one has been before it.

Ever since the iPhone people seem to think that adding an I to the beginning of any common word suddenly makes it the name of an Apple product. The iPod was never the iPersonalMP3Player just like the iMac was never the iMidrangepersonaldesktopcomputer.

GET IT RIGHT

Pedant alert!

I would second TuneIn Radio - very good. Other recommendations are:

Monopoly World
Sky+
AroundMe Brighton & Hove
Web Albums (For Picasa)
F1 2010 App (The Free one!)
Traffic Rush

El Pres started the thread and labelled it "iTouch".

And believe me, he does.

...only when you whisper those magic words to me

Get over it?

NO.

If you bought a Ferrari Enzo you'd jolly well want people to refer to it as just that at every opportunity. You wouldn't want people asking after your "Fenzo" would you?

It's just incorrect and the more people use it the more commonly accepted it becomes. There are several companies who trade under the name itouch whilst Apple have no claims to the name.

Someone was on Radio 1 yesterday talking about a new 'wine' app for the iPhone/iTouch.

It is the first application that can search based on a picture.

Basically, you take a picture of a wine bottle (well, the label), and it comes back with;

* What type of food the wine will go with
* How much you should expect to pay a bottle in a off license, supermarket, restaurant, etc. Which I think is great.

Alternatively, you can type in what you are going to have for dinner, and it will give you an idea of the type of wine you should be drinking.

I don't know how much it costs though.

I don't even have an iPhone/iTouch.

What am I doing here?

Hello?

Similar technology soon for a major energy firm where you will be able to take a photo of your meter and download the reading....madness!!

Not true, The amazon app will allow you to take a photo of a book or CD and it will recognise it and tell you how much it costs on amazon. I use it all the time when out shopping to compare the price.

None of these three will be much use for an iPod Touch.

Do you always refer to your favourite football team as Brighton and Hove Albion?

Just bought Swords v Poker, (try the lite version first), and it is exactly as it says on the tin, but somehow works!

Like El Pres said, I suppose you won't be referring to our team as "The Seagulls" ever again then?

Just found this -

NDrive UK and Ireland - Sat Nav for £9.99!!

Ok, so not for an itouch but fantastic for an iphone. I just downloaded it today and it seems to be a good Tomtom clone and works really well - can't go wrong for a tenner!

They have just brought out Football Manager 2010 for the iPhone/iPod Touch. £6.99 and its quality, very nice to use and mile better than any other footy manager on the iPhone.

well worth £6.99

I'm with you there buddy - fairly knocks CM10 into a cocked hat, so it does!

Yep, I made the mistake of buying CM10 which was shite but this one is quality, it reminds me of the old Champ Manager games of around 10 years ago.

 

[Easy 10]

I just bought International Snooker for £2.99. Was going to get the 59p Ronnie O'Sullivan one, but the reviews said it keeps crashing.
Anyhoo, its an EXCELLENT snooker game. Physics are all spot-on and you can actually build a decent break as you work your way round the table. Fun CENTRAL.

He's just saying he doesn't want to see the name get corrupted, such as 'palarse' for example.

 

[Arthur]

The Lonely Planet apps are free at the moment as a gimmick over the volcano so I'm lead to believe. Apparently they are usually £9.99??

Get whilst you they are cheap.......which I'm lead to believe is today only.

They are called an Enzo Ferrari
