Choosing the perfect holiday gift can be difficult, particularly when it comes to determining the appropriate Apple portable media player to give to your dearest and nearest. This year, however, it's the tiniest bit easier. And it is because Apple has done us all the favor of leaving last year's iPod lineup in place. If you liked the look of last year's iPod shuffle, iPod nano, iPod Classic, and iPod touch, you'll like them just as much this year as they've changed very little. However, I must to say that everything has two sides and … is not an excep¬tion, it has both advantages and disadvantages, such as the ipad, it also has its shortcomings, for example, it can only support mov file and mp4, if you want to play other common video formats on the ipad, the best way is to use a mac dvd to ipad converter. We've pored through the App Store's offerings and rounded up 15 apps that are perfect for your iPod touch (including a few that even make it work like its phone cousin). The best part? None of the apps will cost you a penny. We bring you our picks for the best iPod touch apps on the market today after digging through Apple's massive library. The iTunes App Store can be quite daunting when you don’t know what you’re looking to add to your iPod Touch. Currently, there are over 500,000 apps. They span range from the niche apps like calculating your blood alcohol content after a night of drinking to full on games. For every request there are dozens of apps that offer similar features. Which ones belong on your Touch? We’ve scoured the App Store and picked out a handful of our favorites for you to try out. We’ve tested our Touches and solicited friends and coworkers for their picks. You’ll note that we didn’t include any games on this list. We’ve also compiled a list our picks for the Best iPod Touch Games. This list is more about lifestyle and utility apps like UrbanSpoon or ESPN ScoreCenter ESPN ScoreCenter (Free) You never know when you won’t be able to see the big game. ESPN’s free ScoreCenter app makes sure you know the score and stats for as many games as you desire. The app is well designed and allows you to enter which sports you want to follow. Geocaching ($9.99) Yeah, it takes some of the legwork out of actually plotting a map, but for casual or first time geocachers this app is great. Fire it up to find nearby caches, read the details and drop a pin on the map then get to searching. You can post field notes to help others from the Touch. Asphalt 6: Adrenaline ($0.99) Gorgeous graphics, solid controls and over 42 cars and bikes to choose from including Ferrari, Lamborghini, and Ducati fill this racing game’s garage. Tune your cars, challenge your friends, and race across the globe – from L.A. to Tokyo in this fun iOS racer. Valor (Free) Valor is a massive multiplayer online real time strategy game (MMORTS) which tasks you with leading a small kingdom to glory and greatness. You play against other iOS users and battle it out for the right to rule the realm. Form alliances, create guilds, and even betray rival kingdoms in this engrossingly deep strategy game. Unfortunately, the process is entirely overwhelming for the average ipod user. The bulk of consumers use iTunes’ Top and front page listings. Since placement on the top lists is derived entirely from unit sales, there is a disturbing skew towards the $.99 applications. This not only discourages big developers from putting high budgets and serious resources towards development of really useful applications and games, but also does a disservice to us, as ipod users. If all we see are ninety-nine cent gimmicks and toys, how will we realize the true potential of our device? Apple attempts to offset this with editor’s picks, but this simply isn’t enough to make sense of the App Store. What is more, it also has some shortcoming such as it cannot transfer music from ipod to computer directly, if you want to do this, the best way is to use an ipod to mac transfer. The above iPod touch apps, which do you like best? Or you have another good some good introduce, you can please leave messages for me.
