Blippy is a website where people obsessively review everything they buy.

RSS5000 App
An awesome new RSS reader that lets you see feeds in their original web context, instead of in a stripped out formatting view. Kinda the reverse of Instapaper.
· CDN$4.99 app from iTunes
productjoy would you say the app is worth the 4.99?
davemmett good question. I've only cracked it open once so far, so not really yet. But it's a nice different way to use RSS. I found with my one use that it made me focus more on reading the content, as opposed to just getting through my massive list of stuff to read.
Civilization V
Lots of fun. They've changed quite a few things from past Civ games, but it seems to mostly be for the better.

riddlefish Only on civilization number five, huh? Has the calendar been invented yet? What about reality tv? ;p
Word Lens App
Mind boggling amazing. Uses the iPhone camera to translate words into another language.
Goodreads App
I use goodreads to track the books I read. The app is pretty much a port of their site, but it works well for inputting progress on the go.
Instagram App
The new hotness.
Mint.com Personal Finance App
Mint.com is absolutely the best way to track your spending. The app doesn't do much, but it gives a dashboard view of your account balances and provides alerts when you go over budget.
Netflix App
It's great for watching tv shows and movies on the iPad.
· app from iTunes
Angry Birds App
Probably the best game for the iPhone.
· CDN$0.99 app from iTunes
Pixelpipe App
Not as fun as Gowalla, but I still love it.
Tour Wrist App
This app provides an awesome way to view Panoramic VR photos. You just move your iPhone around and it changes the view on the photo, it's a bit like your using your iPhone to stare into an alternate world, and is guaranteed to make people near you think your insane.
Air Display App
Lets you use your iPad as an external display for your computer. Kinda amazing.
· CDN$9.99 app from iTunes
Yelp App
This can be pretty convenient for finding restaurants near you and to make sure they are actually decent.
· app from iTunes
Air Hockey Gold App
The best air hockey iPad app I've seen.
· app from iTunes
Instapaper App
Absolutely love this app. It offers the best reading experience I've had so far on the iPad.

foursquare App
Foursquare is awesome for keeping track of the places you've been and sharing that information with friends or strangers.
bturner Ahh, I never got on this bandwagon, but I think I need to.
davemmett it's fun, you should definitely give it a shot. I just generally find it interesting to keep track of the places I've been, whether my friends are checking it or not.
Movies by Flixster App
I use this all the time to find movie showtimes. It uses your location to find the theaters near you, or you can browse through the movies that are out and find what theaters are playing the movies you want to see. I can't think of a reason anyone with an iPhone shouldn't have this app.
Virtual Zippo® Lighter App
It solves all my "pretend I'm using a lighter at a concert" needs.
Angry Birds Lite App
I don't play to many iPhone games, but this one is awesome. I think I'm going to upgrade to the paid version once I get through the free levels. Highly recommend.
joshmattvander I approve!
bradhussey I have the full version. I recommend it. They always give big, generous, and free updates with new birds, and levels. It's amazing. Get it, now!
The Hurt Locker
It was quite good. I'm not sure if it was Oscar worthy though.

A Practical Guide to Information Architecture
Bought the Information Architecture Digital Edition

*update by request - I've been reading this slowly on my iPhone in between a lot of other books so I don't think I've gotten as much out of it as I otherwise would have, but it's been quite good. It's part of Mark Boulton's Five Simple Steps series of books (http://fivesimplesteps.com/), which will be releasing a lot of other great books soonish.
