I instantly became addicted to it. I know this is a big shock to you all, knowing how much I hate technology and all things new and cool (cough cough). Yes, I am my father's daughter. Anyway, it is undoubtedly one of the coolest things ever and will accompany me everywhere I go for many years to come.
The one thing I didn't really know much about before I got the thing was "apps." I thought apps were the things you got before dinner (ba da boom). Who knew that my favorite thing to do with my new iPod would be browsing the app store for FREE STUFF? Because, as I may have mentioned once or twice before, I love free stuff.
There are so many cool free games available, it's scary. I've found a few I really like. One of them is "Alchemize", a game where you match colors and gradually trade up until you get to gold. Alchemy - get it? Anyway, it's horribly addictive and I have been know to lose hours at a time to it. And I Still. Haven't. Won.
Another fun one is "What Song?" which uses your own music to play a sort of "name that tune" game. The faster you get the right answer, the more points you get. It's fun, my only complaint being it doesn't ever seem to end.
I have a neato shopping list app that remembers everything I've entered previously, so the next time I want to buy it, I don't have to retype it. Nice.
I have an app that lets me send unlimited text messages to any phone. Free. So if you want to be texted, just send me your cell #.
And then there are the podcasts. The Lost podcast, the Vampire Diaries podcast, and on and on and on. So many podcasts, and all free! I'm listening to Jay and Jack on the Lost podcast as I write this.
So, do you have an iPhone, or iPod touch, or iPad? What are your favorite apps? And more importantly, are they free?
