5. Atomic Fart
You can choose the fart noise, set a timer, hide the phone and then sit back and laugh at the unsuspecting victim...it's better than a whoopee cushion! :rofl:

8. pocket guitar is pretty cool too
I had to expand the fret spacing so I only have 3 frets to play on, but that covers a lot of ground :D

10. whitenoise, crayon physics, WOXY radio, Pandora, Public Radio, loops of zen lite
the paid version of whitenoise seems to have the best selection of noise sounds, without audible looping like I notice with my little freestanding white noise machine, and also cool timer and alarm features, and even a large digital clock display

crayon physics is simply amazing

loops of zen lite is a cool little game good for a quick diversion while on hold or something -- I prefer the lite to the paid version

Pandora, WOXY radio, and public radio obviously depend on either a wifi or internet stream for the audio, but excellent listening!

11. If you are into Astronomy..
Edited on Mon Nov-16-09 02:21 PM by sazemisery
Pocket Universe is cool. You take it outside and start the app then hold it up to the sky and it shows the sky on the screen with names of the planets and constellations. Very cool!

12. Shazam!
You point your phone at TV, computer, radio etc and it tells you the name and artist of the music playing...

15. i like weather bug better than weather channel
but that is because there is a weather bug station on my local elementary school. can't get much more local than that, and the weather station is a great thing for the kids.

might have to get that atomic fart.
