The plus side of Navigon is its a universal app for iPad too (if you have an ipad 3g?)
That is very nice. I used TomTom on my iPad over Christmas and it was fine, but certainly not built for the iPad.

Navigon doesn't have to stream maps so it uses less data and less battery to perform the same function. This makes it superior to Garmin.

I have both as well and uninstalled Tom Tom and stuck with Navigon as it is faster IMO.

If you've got $9 to blow on one app, then Do Don Pachi Ressurection is an amazing arcade shooter ported to iOS. It actually plays better on a touch screen due to the sensitivity...it's pretty awesome.

Heytell is a very cool little app. Basically it turns your phone into a mike phone. You click a contact, press a button on the screen and say your message and it sends it instantly to your contact. I've found it works suprisingly well.

It's awesome. We all put it on our phones at work, and it is ideal for a communication tool on a car lot. It is also cross platform with android phones as well, and works seamlessly with them.

The Valentines levels were really easy, it was the normal 15 and then 3 bonus levels if you "like" Angry Birds on facebook, so that was kinda lame.

I have Scrabble and enjoy it. I picked it up on a sale a while ago.

Does anyone have experience with simcity or the sims?
Thinking about picking one of those up, but only want to if it's actually worth playing.

I grabbed simcity a while ago. It was pretty fun for a couple weeks. I played it for about 15-20 hours while I flew around over Christmas break. Worth the purchase for me, but it's really nothing too special.

There's now a Canucks app that allows you to watch all Sportsnet games live. I would be pretty stoked if the Flames came out with something similar. Easily worth the $10.
