Top iPod touch applications

"There's an app for that." Most of us are familiar with that expert advertising claim that Apple makes on every commercial praising their iPod Touch or their iPhone. Indeed, there are apps for a great many things, from shopping to planning, to organizing and entertainment. Not all of these, though, can be used on the iPod Touch.

When choosing applications to add to your iPod Touch, there are a few things to consider. Mainly, you have to remember that though the iPod Touch has a WiFi connection, it is not constant like the iPhone. This means that many of the apps will not work unless you are within a hot zone that offers WiFi, or, of course within your own network. Of course most apps will work, but you can not access any type of data that requires an Internet connection. Unless you are using a utility application, or something that is already stored in your device (like a dictionary or a game), the app will not work until you are near an internet connection. And, with an iPod Touch, the likelihood of that is slim.

Also, the iPod Touch is not equipped with a microphone, so any apps that might require the use of that will not work. You must not confuse the abilities of the iPhone (which are vast), and the iPod Touch (which are limited). That being said, some of the top iPod Touch apps are both useful as well as fun! Of the twenty app categories, here are a few of the best apps that can be great for the iPod;

~Solitaire

When computers were first found in homes, used as personal devices, Solitaire came equipped on the systems. There were a lot of people that fell in love with the game, and it soared to new heights of popularity because of their ease of use. The same concept is applied here, on the iPod. Found in the 'Games' category, this fun little app can be found both for free (though it may not give you as many options, or limit the number of games that you can play, like a trial) or for up to .99 cents. Of course, there are other card games as well, like 'Blackjack', 'Phase Ten', 'Uno', and 'Gin Rummy'.

~Texas Hold 'em.

During the last ten years, this game has taken the world by storm, and iTunes offers it in a nifty little app. Like all others, there are free versions, but if you are a serious gamer, you might want to invest at least $1.99 in a professional app. Of course, some of the apps are more expensive, if you prefer.
