1. WritingPad
This supposedly helps you to type faster on the soft keyboard, and it allows you to send e-mail from your notes. The way to type is to "draw" on the letters of the keyboard without lifting up your finger. The software recognises this input and predicts a commonly used word. But if that's not the word you're looking for, a list of other matching words appears in a bar just above the keyboard. The concept is pretty good, except that I don't particularly like it that they moved some of the keys and changed the entire look of the keyboard. Perhaps Apple could take a look at this method of entering words as well. I'll explore it a little more.
2. Scribble
Sketches without the price tag and most of the extra features. Just a barebones drawing app with only 4 colours.
3. NetNewsWire
One of the most popular desktop RSS feed readers, packed into an iPod Touch app. Short excerpts of feeds are displayed and you can read the entire article by clicking on the link (opens in its own browser). It also allows you to view the article in Safari.
4. Evernote
A really nice concept, and executed quite well in my opinion. The service stores notes that you make in their server, and this app allows you to retrieve your notes. You can compose notes from pictures, text, audio (only on the desktop version I think) and web clippings. There is also a handy web clipper that you can bookmark in Safari to take clippings of a webpage and place it in your notes. The desktop app (available for Mac and Windows) will sync your notes with the server so whatever notes you have (on your mobile device or PC) stay in sync.
