The iPod Touch automatically corrects your misspellings, but sometimes you don’t want something to be corrected and you have to click on the little “x” that’s about the size of the tip of a pencil and no human finger can easily touch it.
Note: Some of these may have been fixed or changed with the most recent iPod System Update.

I have created a custom “Cube Runner” level for use on the iPod Touch and iPhone. To download it to your own device, download “Cube Runner” from the App Store, tap “Select Level Pack,” “Add Level Pack,”
and type in the following:

It’s nothing special… I just made as a way for me to kill an hour on a Saturday afternoon.

I’ve downloaded several Apps from the Apple Apps store, many of them dissapointingly dull, but some very worth the price (free).
Bubble Wrap
4/10
I was hoping that this would be a fun little app that I could use to relieve some stress, but it turned into a highly competitive struggle for power. Pop all the bubbles in 45 seconds while they reinflate at an impossible rate. This app’s current status on my iPod: deleted.
Scribble
7.5/10
Kind of fun. It’s just drawing on the screen, but it’s a real time-killer if you’re bored. It could use some more colors, but if you’re really that bored it won’t matter much. This app’s current status on my iPod: still on there.
Labyrinth LE
7/10
Super fun the first time around, but once you’ve beat all the levels (10 total), you’ve got nothing else to do, unless you want to spend six bucks to upgrade to the next edition. I still play the levels all the time, but it’s getting easier and easier. This app’s current status on my iPod: hanging on the edge of deletion.
More Cowbell
5/10
Great for solo use. This is just a problem that iPod touch users have; iPhones are fine. You need headphones to hear it on the iPod touch. Still kind of funny… This app’s current status on my iPod: hanging on the edge of deletion.
Remote
9/10
The best app I’ve downloaded. And the price is right too (free). The purpose of this one is that you can open iTunes on your computer and step away from the computer and still control iTunes through your iPod/iPhone. I find it’s great for pulling pranks. Hide in the next room and when somebody walks in, start playing something bizarre like “Purple Haze [Live at Woodstock]“.
Or pick something appropriate to the situation. Examples: If your parents are walking in, play “Hello Muddah, Hello Faddah” (Alan Sherman); If you’re currently painting your home, play “Paint It Black” (The Rolling Stones); Or if you accidentally started a fire in your home play “We Didn’t Start the Fire” (Billy Joel). This app’s current status on my iPod: Here to stay.
