The App Thread

[SJ]

Everyones always talking about the newest app for their Iphone/Android and in some rare cases blackberry.

Discuss what apps you use (and OS) and what kicks ass and what sucks butt.

I am still waiting to get a new smart phone and am undecided as to what to get so maybe you guys can convince me one way or another.

Also - you MAC users - what Apps you running?

I personally use: Angry Birds (in glorious full screen)

Angry Birds Rio

Full Deck Solitaire (free from the app store)

Touchgrind - yep, not just for iphone anymore. way easier to actually do tricks too.

VirtualHomeDJ - numark released this with their digital turntables. This free program lets you mix/beatlock/even scratch. It's got programmable effects, punch in samples - it really is fun to fuck around with if you like to mess around on Turntables.

"real-time fluid dynamics simulation" makes it sound boring, trust me, it's mindless fun.
