It’s ideal for professional, student, and personal use.

Single Image Comic Creations! Immediately add a comic element to the photo you have just taken with your iPhone camera or from your photo library. No more waiting until you get home!
Instapaper
Simply install the Instapaper app and download your unread articles when you have WiFi, EDGE, or 3G coverage, then you can read them anytime: on the train, on the bus, on line at the bank, or in space (you never know).
VoiceNotes
VoiceNotes is a voice recording application for iPhone that allows you to make recordings and play them back later. VoiceNotes is perfect for making quick reminders of things that are too hard or inconvenient to write down in text, for example:
Kineo – Let Your Creativity Flow.
iPhone and iPod Touch application for creating stencil-style animations.

Assignments is an application that, as the name implies, allows you to keep track of your assignments and classes. This is perfect for both teachers and students that need to keep track of assignments in each class.
ToDo
With To Do, you can quickly and easily add a to-do, set priority (and order), and even add a note.
Hi Paul,
This is great. I was looking at Comictouch and thought yes we could use this as we are about to have the students using etcha sketch to write maths equations and then save each picture as they write down the numerals one by one to complete the problem. Then we were going to use the pics in garageband and add audio explanations. However we could put comic style explanations on each pic instead. Looks like this will be this weeks trial. My website has more uses of the ipod touch. I can see the iphone would be far more useful as it has the camera and you can record voices.
Cheers from Jenny
PS. Love the graphic use of the iPhone on this page. You are so clever!
