MobileMe

  • What? Online sync, storage, and email service from Apple
  • Where? Apple.com or other online retailers
  • How Much? $99 a year
  • Why is it cool? MobileMe may seem like an over priced service that you don't need but after recent enhancements by Apple and the popularity of the iPhone, it has become a very nice service to consider. With your MobileMe subscription, you get an email service, online storage, and seamless syncing of your contacts, calendar, and Safari bookmarks between multiple Macs, iPhone, and iPod Touch. MobileMe includes 20GB of online storage called iDisk where you can easily share photos and videos with your friends and family, store and share files, and even host your own website. You can access your email, contacts, calendar and iDisk from any computer with a web browser and internet connection. If you have an iPhone, MobileMe becomes very useful. MobileMe not only keeps all the information on your iPhone in sync with your Mac wirelessly but also allows you to locate your iPhone if it's lost and remotely delete all of your personal information if it's really lost. If you own multiple Macs and/or an iPhone definitely check out MobileMe. You can learn more and get a free 60-day trial here.

Paper Toss 

 

  • What? A game for iPhone or iPod Touch
  • Where? You can download it here(iTunes Link)
  • How Much? FREE
  • Why is it cool? Paper Toss from Backflip Studios Inc. is a highly addictive and fun game where you try to throw a ball of paper into a trash can. Sounds easy enough but a desk fan stands between you and your goal. With each throw, the fan changes speed and position forcing you to adjust your aim. It's a fairly basic game with only three difficulty levels. The harder the level, the further you are from the trash can. The goal is to see how many shots you can successfully make in a row. You can see it in action here.

LOLCats

  • What? An application for viewing funny cat pictures
  • Where? The Apple App Store(opens in iTunes)
  • How much? Free with ads or $.99 to browse without ads.
  • Why is it cool? While it may sound ridiculous, "LOLCats" pictures have become very popular online. This application lets you browse through hundreds of pictures. It's my personal favorite time waster on my iPod Touch. Some of the pictures aren't that funny but some are down right hilarious. There are also several websites dedicated to LOLCats such as I can haz cheeseburger.
