Hi, all. I’ve never even owned an Ipod, let alone an Ipod touch, but the new Ipod touch with front and back cameras, opportunity to chat with my kids using FaceTime, retina display–it’s too much for me to pass up. I ordered it as soon as the press conference on Sept 1st was over, and I’m tracking its delivery obsessively (it just left China this morning). My kids, of course, are laughing at me.

Of course I’ll use it to play music, and probably to store and display pictures–but I’ll admit to being a complete novice when it comes to Apps. We belong to USAA and I know I want to download their app that allows you to take a picture of your check to deposit it-I’m hoping I can do that with the new Ipod touch, since it has a camera.
Other than that, there are so many apps available, I’m not even sure where to start.

So-I’m asking my fellow parent-cafe members: What apps have you, as middle-aged folks, found to be useful or just fun? Or kids-what do you apps do you think your parents would enjoy?
