iPod Applications, or "apps" for short, vastly increase the usefulness and functionality of the iPod touch and iPhone. An app can be anything: a game, a calendar or to-do list, a dictionary, a calculator, a Facebook or Twitter version for the iPod, a mini word processor, a birthday reminder, or a Paint-like drawing program.
There are as many varieties of iPod apps as there are computer programs. These apps for iPods can be downloaded from the Apple store via a program installed in the computer called iTunes. There are paid apps and free apps, and these number in the thousands. In fact, numerous new apps are developed each day and routinely added to the Apple store. With their growing number, there have come out apps that sort through the apps, rating and reviewing them, and making recommendations. An example is the free app called PandoraBox, which provides latest information about new apps, especially which ones are currently on discount or free, and allows a name search for apps.

This gives an idea of how vast the collection of apps is, and their wide variety. This also indicates how the iPod touch or iPhone, when running these apps, can be useful in so many aspects of life. There are apps for educators, doctors, housewives, frequent travelers, students, people looking to socialize, teenagers interested in games and music, cooks eager to share and find recipes, and so on and so forth.
