just got me a 32gb ipod touch for the quiet moments in life, what apps are good? and not just the bikey ones

Boxed in – free puzzle game.

Have a search of the forum – there have been a few posts on this recently. I'd do it myself but at work and shouldn't be looking 😉

Been a few threads on this in the past.

For games try:

Flight Control
Paper Toss (free)
Doodle Jump (free)
Civilisation Revolution
Word Ace (free)
Bejeweled
Tap Tap Revenge 2
Wild West Pinball

If you know someone else with a Touch or iPhone then Ping looks interesting. It's like an IM or Chat system but it doesn't use the regular network, is free to use, is instant, doesn't use any of your text allowance, and can be used worlwide without roaming charges. Neat. Bike gears is useful if you're a singlespeed or fixie rider. Stanza and eReader are both very good.
