Assassin's Creed for iPhone/iTouch is very well done. Probably the best game I've seen on the App Store yet.

I snagged Golf Card. If you love golf and want to track your game it's a great app. It has 21,000 courses to download. All the Calgary courses from what I can see. Uses Google satellite images to give you a birds eye view of the course you're playing and let's you track the distances of your ball.

I ended up buying it for $5.99 but the free one would be good for a test round or two.

Has anybody tried tiger woods? It looks pretty cool and got a solid review from ign, I'm just looking to hear an opinion from somebody else before I take the $10 plunge.

I downloaded AirportMania, it's a distracting game, only 99 cents, I think its worth it.

Does anyone know of an app that shows free wi-fi in different cities? I travel quite a bit.

I don't know of any that I've read about... but doing a very quick search in the App Store brought up this one: http://itunes.apple.com/WebObjects/M...294771472&mt=8

I just searched for WiFi. I have no idea if this one is good or not, but it might be a start.

Does anyone know that if I buy an app through iTunes, if it will take the money out of my iTunes account? Because buying one through the iPhone itself does not. Is it the same thing when buying one on the computer, just sync and it's on the phone?

Tiger Woods looks amazing! I'm struggling with whether it is $10 worth of amazing, though!

That's what I figured, but I found out the hard way it doesn't. If I buy from my phone directly, even though I'm using my iTunes password, it does not subtract from my account.

in Canada for some reason that I have yet to figure out, buying something from your phone will use the credit card attached to your iTunes account, and not your account itself. It has to be something with the country, because the American iTunes store does not do this.

This blows for us, mainly because you can't buy an iTunes gift card in Canada and buy apps with it. I haven't tried buying the app from the computer and then dumping it on the phone as a second step. An somebody confirm if that works or not?

A good site for iPhone/iPod Touch reviews and previews is www.toucharcade.com, there are multiple reviews everyday.
