FileAid is FREE from now til 17 March 2009. Go get it.

-----
FileAid (6.99, FREE for a short time) - Upload and download files to/from iPod touch through wifi or USB. That's right, works with USB if you have DiskAid installed on your PC. Ridiculously simple to use with Windows PC. Files/doc can be listed in alphabetical order, date, file type & by folder.

AirSharing (4.99) - Upload and download files to/from iPod touch through wifi only. Can use Bonjour.

Fast Add (free) - To quickly enter a name and phone number. Faster and more intuitive than iPod's own Contacts, which is tedious.

Free Memory (0.99)- To free up to 20mb of RAM. I also use it to check battery level.

AppSniper (0.99) - Snipe cheap/free apps

DianHua & Qingwen (free) - Chinese-->English dictionary, but can search english words too.

PowerWord (free) - English-->Chinese dictionary. Can pronouce some more. (as good as or better than those electronic dictionaries, which can cost between 500-1000)

Dictionaire (free) - English dictionary.

万年历 (free) - Chinese lunar calender

Art Of War by Sun Tzu (free)

三国演义 (free)

Cooliris (free) - I use it to check strobist pool.

Magic Touch (free when I got it) - Photoshop on your palm. Quite powerful for iPod.

WineSnob (free when I got it) - Lets you record your experience on wine tasting, and has a pretty complete wine guide.

Games (i download free ones only =P):
Underworld, Tap Defense, Lux Touch, Fingeric, Topple.

Certain new apps need iPod software 2.2.1. I've heard many horror stories about after updating, iPod touch can't start and what not.
Has anyone updated to 2.2.1 yet?

The FileAid supports PC only? Can use on Mac or not?

Works fine with Mac also. It's just that I don't have a Mac with me right now to verify it's ease of use.

How can I check the Bursa Malaysia stock market? Any apps for that?

No need. You can use iPod's original Stocks to check.

It takes the data from Yahoo! Finance. So here's how:
1. Go to any website (I prefer biz.thestar.com.my) to find out the stock code.
2. Then in the add page of the app, type in the stock code followed by " .KL "

Example:
YTL Power Warrant B's stock code = 6742WB
you type this in the app = 6742WB.KL
Works 95% of the time.
---
Or you can also Bloomberg app. I prefer Bloomberg app, because there are slightly more functions and looks better.

1. At the bottom tab, select 'My Stocks'.
2. Click 'Edit'
3. Click '+'
4. Search company name. Bloomberg uses its own code, so you have to search either from the app, or from Bloomberg's website.
* I can only find stock, I can't find the warrants.
---
I'm still trying to find other apps that allow me to add local warrants.

Argh danggg !! I missed this by 4 days sad.gif Wish i saw this earlier ... it's 6bux now :'( ... Any similar program can read m.words and also pdf ?

If you can afford paid apps, i still recommend File Aid over Air Sharing (I have both). FileAid can file transfer via USB (requires DiskAid and iTunes).
And it's easier to connect from a computer to File Aid via wifi. Just type in the FTP address and transfer. No need no configuration (in Windows), unlike Air Sharing.
And the tutorial on how to connect is built-in the app. No worries about forgetting how to connect.
-------

Additional apps that I have added recently:

Heavy Mach [2.99-->0.99] - It's on SALE. If you like Metal Slug, you might like it.
Gym Buddy [4.99] - For gym goers to track their workout... with built-in timer, can create multiple workouts, history, and data export to email (then to Excel).
iMail - compose mail and save as drafts in the app. Can use horizontal layout. I also use it as a note taker.
Tap of War
Crazy Tank - Lite version, will buy the full version soon.
Fastlane lite
Tissue - how many tissue papers can you flick in 30 seconds?
GeoDefense - Cannot play because have not updated to 2.2.1 firmware =P
Instapaper - Read websites offline. Will considering paying 9.99 for full version when I eventually feel charitable towards the owner.
IOUUOI - to track how much I owe my friends money/things. Or rather, how much they owe me. X^D

it's useful when u have a lot bank account, cash in different currencies, fixed deposit, bond, mutual fund, current account, few credit cards... it's easier to trace the money between account transfer... at least now with a glance, i can know how much liquid cash i have : )

of cos if u only hv 1 bank account, just use cash to buy groceries, then no need lar, just jot down on paper good enough.

Exactly.
Anyway, I want to ask... does Pocket Money auto update the currency exchange?

Also, I know it doesn't auto-updates or link with the funds,
but how do you update your mutual fund account value in Pocket Money? Just '+' withdrawals and deposits?

hmm.. yup i think it's auto update, i've checked the USD rate in Pocket Money is 3.62 today and the XE.com currency exchange shows 3.61878.

Ya it doesn't auto update the fund account, just a record only. Anyway, no eyes to see the mutual fund nowdays  cry.gif  cry.gif

The good thing is after u add in withdraw or deposit, u can always edit the value again, kinda flexible. PocketMoney is not the best apps, I'm looking at 'Money' apps which have higher rating and better graphic, but still expensive so waiting for sales tongue.gif

I've downloaded a free puzzle game called Sheepish. Kinda fun and cute graphic! Recommended.

Yalah, so d@mn sad. I just let the standing instruction run itself. Maybe 5, 10 years later it'll turn into something worthwhile. sweat.gif

Do you know how often does it update the currency exchange?

Remember to do a review and post a notice here when there's a sale for Money.

Yalah Jady, what to do.
All mutual funds are like that. 5-10 years only will the profits be significant.

Eh, can use a different currency for my budget?
I remember I could do it in the Lite version.
