Appzilla

This app comes with 90 different tools ranging from the practical (WalkNType shows what’s in your path in real-time, preventing you from bumping into obstacles as you focus on the screen) to the inane (Voodoo Doll and Game Buzzer provide the exact services their names imply). (iPhone, iPod Touch, $0.99) 

Eliminate Pro

This game is arguably the most in-depth game to date. Eliminate is a first-person shooter that can be played through multiplayer matches or single-player against computer-run “bots.” Players earn credits through gameplay, which can be used to upgrade their avatar. (iPhone, iPod Touch, iPad, free)

Kaleido

This app creates amazing kaleidoscopic images. Use images from your library or your iPhone’s camera. (iPhone, iPod Touch, iPad $1.99)

Shazam

iMilk

Virtually pour yourself a glass of milk by tilting the iPhone, and raise the now-full glass displayed on the screen to your mouth to “drink” it. That’s it. (iPad, iPhone, iPod Touch, $2.99)

Vomit

Similar to iMilk, the Vomit app allows you to virtually do just that. (iPad, iPhone, iPod Touch, $0.99)

Kazoo

Play the kazoo with this app by tapping different icons. Off-key and unpleasant, but free. (iPad, iPhone, iPod Touch, free)
