    I just got my iTouch right before New Year's, and I love it.

    I have two favorite apps; I don't remember if they were free, but if not they were very cheap.

    They are Lose It, to track food and exercise, and Spend, to track expenses. Can you tell what my New Year's resolutions were?

    And I just got wifi at home (free from Comcast), so it's lots of fun to cruise the web while I'm watching tv (don't have a laptop).

    Lose It rocks - it has really helped me in my quest to change my body - it provides an easy way to track food and exercise. I also like Pandora Radio - other than that (and Bejeweled 2) I don't use too many apps as of yet.

    Catrin, I've got a "friend" on Lose It whom I share info with via the web site, and I swear the only reason I exercised today was so she wouldn't see that I was in the red zone. I love how it keeps me accountable, and the food and exercise lists are so thorough and seem to be pretty accurate. I was right on track with my weight loss last week. Glad to know it's working for you, too.

    I love my iTouch which I got for Christmas! My favorites are Pandora Radio, Lose It, (as others have said, it is really great for putting in what you ate and did, exercise-wise). I have one other I like and it is Frugal. It allows you to compare package sizes, etc, at the store to find the best price for an item. Sometimes the biggest is not the best buy. Some stores have this information on the shelf, but more often than not, it is missing or incomplete, or compares two different things on two sizes. I had to play with it a bit before I went to the store with it but it is easy and quick. This was recommended in a magazine I get and I really like it.

    Of course, I have Sudoku and Bejeweled 2!! I also have BlogPressLite, which allows me to post to my blog without my computer. I cannot post pictures with this, but that is ok. I can always go back and put them in later.

    Thanks for some great suggestions for apps to look at.

    +1 on LoseIt!

    DH bought me an iPhone 3GS for my birthday in September and it was the first app I downloaded, and in off-an-on usage since September (I've been traveling a lot, eating in places where it's hard to say what's what in detailed calories/fat/sodium/carbs/proteins), I've still lost 13.2 pounds as of this morning.

    DH and I are friends on this app, so we can track each other's progress -- that really keeps me honest, I have to say, as divingbiker suggested.
