What are your favorite iPod Touch/iPhone apps?

Hey all...just picked up an iPod Touch and there are so many apps to look at. What are some of your favorite audio and non-audio related apps?

Shazam is a great tool for finding out what song you are listening to. SPL Meter seems pretty accurate once you calibrate at louder levels, definitely enough for me to check my mix position levels. Nlog synth is a lot of fun. The ocarina is also a fun way to kill time.

If I get time later I may try to upload a track I made entirely with iPhone instruments.

(I just uploaded it, keep in mind that this was just a test to see how these things recorded, not an attempt at making real music. It basically repeats the whole song, so don't bother listening to the end. I used Drum kit Lite, Kalimba Free, NLogFree, and Finger Piano Lite. Didn't pay one cent for all these)

Solitaire City

Bubble Wrap is kind of funny.

Fire Words.

Scrabble.

Labyrinth is cool if you used to play the real one.

But I spend a lot of time on Solitaire City. Worth the $8, definitely.

The one thing that makes me fancy an iPhone is the Peterson strobe tuner app.........

SynthPond
Jasuto
Noise.io
iTM MCU
PakiSound
iProRecorder

Some links here (the page is in Italian - but the links are easy to spot):

Pocket God.... without a doubt.

But on the audio front, I do wish I could find a drum program/beat maker that would allow me to import the patterns I program into Logic. Any ideas?

Palm Sounds

This is a great website about all the music apps for the iPhone/iPod touch. There are so many its hard to keep track.

A few not mentioned:

4 Track: from sonoma
Bebot: a MUST have. 4 voice synth with portamento on each note. $2.
Beatmaker: pretty great and flexible mpc sequencer.
The strobe tuner is a must.
Dopplerpad: like 2 kaossilators thrown together with looping, etc.
Manetron: a great sounding mellotron app.

Sync sailor...won't beatmaker do that? You can save your beatmaker sessions as midi or wav files.

ClearTune : Pretty accurate tuner (compared to the korg stdd) and also frequency/note chart (pretty useful)

What's App : Same as Black Berry Messenger on Blackberry

Doodle Jump : Addictive platform game

Gearslutz :

DropBox : File sharing

Not really an Iphone app but works with Itunes

Amarra : replace itunes strange audio engine to have a more pristine sound ( I mean Neutral). Great for comparing sources with Mix/Master

I don't own an iPhone, but was playing around with a friend's phone once and was LOVING the little app that Brian Eno designed for the iPhone. It's called Bloom. Check it out.

slacker radio

Slacker Radio - 4x the music of Pandora, more customization options, create your own station or listen to over 100 DJ-programmed genre stations such as Lolopalooza 2010 with interviews from the show and it also offers station caching - you can "save" your stations for listening without a cell or wifi connection (i.e. in airplane mode)

Also:
This American Life
NY Times
NanoStudio
PaklSound
MiniSynth
MoreLomo
Dragon Dictation
Skype
iStrobosoft
SPL
ProTransport
KG Music
PolyTune (was on sale for 99 cents, but still worth $10 for guitarists)

If you want to jailbreak your phone, I've found that MyWi is pretty brilliant. It turns your 3G network into a wifi hotspot via either wifi or a usb cable.
Winterboard is also awesome for customizing your layout.
