Ipod touch investment and apps?

Oh hun if my hubby can figure it out you should do fine lol!! He can barely run a web page! The iPod touch really is simple and I like using the MFP app its an easy app to use!!! I have to say I love to use it with MFP web page and its great for when your on the go you can put in your food and stuff and just use your wifi when you get home to sync it up! Its not hard at all!!! The only thing I had problems with was my WiFi here at home I had to have phone company come and add device to my wifi..... But that didnt take them but a min! Hope you get one and enjoy it oh and BTW I have like everything I need on a 8GB and i still have more then 5GB of space left for more music and pics so dont stress to much if you dont know how much space you need!!

iFitness is a great app for workouts and of course MFP.

Angry birds is a fun game, when time needs to be killed.

Good luck with the iPOD.

PS - I'm from windsor too

So weird this question was asked today. I was just searching for an ipod last night and looking at different apps on the apple website. Thanks for asking this and thanks to all those who are posting their favs! One question I have for those who already own an ipod, even after you install apps, do you always have to have a connection to use the apps?

Some do not require a wifi connection for use, and some do. It just depends!

Not necessarily. Read all about the app before purchasing because you will be told if you can use it on the touch, on the phone or both! The difference is on the touch access to the internet isn't required where as on the phone it is.

Word to the wise: MFP does require access to the internet if you want it to sync to your diary. It is a great tool if you log in at home (sync it), go out through the day and log your food on it, then sync it when you get back home. The program does have a catalog of nutritional information (though it isn't nearly as complete) so it can be slightly difficult to make wise choices out there!

You will discover, if getting the touch, that there are a TON of places out there that have free wifi! Staples, cheap hotels, some restaurants, and more. So if you NEED access to the internet it is possible. :-)

I loved my Ipod touch... now my wife has it though... I loved it so much I got tired of carrying it and a phone all the time and got the iPhone4 this summer.

Apps...

Words with Friends
Epicurious (recipes, even makes shopping lists)
Google (has voice search, love it!)
MyFitnessPal
Skype
Accuweather (like this better than other weather apps and still free)
Bejeweled
Angry Birds
Others that have already been mentioned...

I absolutely love my iPod touch and use it like a mini computer. I use it every day. So handy and great for traveling too. Check your email, surf the web and all that stuff you do on the computer without having to carry your computer. I even use it for keeping track of my schedule for work. My fav apps are Facebook(of course), Twitter, APmobile(news), Weatherbug, Pandora, PhoneFlicks(syncs up with my Netflix acct), Kindle, BING, Skype and a bunch of shopping apps like for Target, Kohls, Best Buy, Walmart and Ebay.
I even have an app to find free wifi. And of course, MFP is awesome. That's how I found this website. I found the app first and tried it and then went to the website to set it all up.
I'd love to have an iPhone but really don't need it so an iPod is perfect.

Favorite apps on my iPhone right now have to be:

MFP
Foursquare (some places have nice discounts if you check in so many times)
Facebook
Twitter
myLite (Flashlight app, great when the power went out last week!)
RedLaser (Scan barcodes at the store to find it cheaper online)
Angry Birds (such a great time wasting game)
Weatherbug
CraigsPro
iBooks
Bill Cosby (Yes, he has his own app!)
Gorillacam (better camera app than the preinstalled one)
Moviefone
redbox

I found MFP by searching for apps! I have a 2nd Generation, 64GB, version. I have had an extensive music collection for years. I have every pop tune from 1956 to 1979 that charted in that years' Billboard Top 100 or peaked as high as #20 on any weekly chart. The same thing criteria applies to the country charts from 1989 to 2009. Plus, I have loads of Sinatra, Dean Martin, Doo Wop, live albums and box sets of my favorites... over 10,100 songs with about 4 GB of space to go.

If I want to listen to all the pop tunes from 1972 while walking, I have a playlist already set up! I love it... plus the earphones contain a microphone. You press a button on the headphone cord and say "play artist Jim Croce"... it replies "playing songs by Jim Crow" (ah, close enough) ... and you're set.

The apps I use the most are:
TV Guide
Facebook
Suduko2
GlucoseMate
CashCab
VEVO
DrudgeReport
iStockManager
AccuWeather
Kindle
Cheap Gas!
AllRecipes
Pandora
iheartradio
77 WABC (radio)
Hungry Shark
Tiger Woods PGA Tour (all above were free, except this one)

if you want to use a live app like mfp or facebook you do. but if you want to play the games you do not. I have an i phone and my daughter has the itouch, they are great! if you look at the blackfriday.com adds you can get good deals on them right now. I got hers for 200$ with a 50$ itunes card last year. it was a great deal. I seen target i think had one with a 30$ card. You can download alot of music from livewire or from your cd's.
