I'm a new iPod touch user. Neither had an iPt nor iPhone before. Just 2 Nanos.
I came across the iPt when I had to decide, whether to get the original Sonos control for my zone player or the iPt. Since the Sonos-App is absolutely equivalent if not superior to the original control, the decision wasn't all too hard.
I got an iPt now. Was really looking forward for it to arrive just to realise that there are no worthwhile Apps. At least I didn't find any yet. Except of the Sonos-App which is really great!
The preinstalled apps are ok, Safari and Mail are great, iBooks is awsome. But besides that there was nothing which made me even consider to install. Tried out 2 random games with 4+ stars rating which were boring as ****.
Other games look even worse.
Didn't want it for games anyway. So I checked out all categories of most downloaded apps which are pretty limited (100 per category?). What about the several thousands of apps which are supposedly in the appstore. You can't even browse the appstore except of most downloaded. The only way to find the rest of the apps is only by searching for keywords which is pretty much a gamble.
I don't like the font of the Notes app, which for some reason you can't configure, so I tried to find a decent text editor or an alternative notes app. Guess what there is none, at least for my standards.
Overall I got the feeling that the majority of the appstore consists of junk-apps and light-versions and what not. Even the commercial apps are too limited and not even worth the little money they cost.
I'm really disappointed after reading so much about the "great" apps of the iOS and now I can't find them.
Without a question the iPt is a nice gadget and definitely worth its money to me, alone because of the Sonos-App. I guess my expectations on the "legendary" appstore were much to high.
