I got an early father's day present - iPhone.

Now I need to figure out what to put on it to help pass the time in the hospital.  A lot of folks are talking to me about these angry birds.  I've found fragger. 

Any other fun games/time wasters?

Do you have a netflix account? If so, you can download the app, and watch movies.

I love pandora radio.

A good crohns one is gimonitor.

Alot of the apps have free versions, so you can try it and see if you like it.

i use Pandora radio, facebook, and youtube on my phone...its an android phone, but you can prolly get the same apps for iphone. I used to play angry birds but was getting too addicted..had to stop. I just downloaded a game called "1-50" numbers are in a grid, and you have hit the numbers in order as fast as you can..sounds easy but the fastest ive been able to do it is 67 seconds.

If you have a Netflix subscription you can get that app and watch movies/tv shows.

I am a HUGE fan of Bejeweled 2:)

Scrabble w/friends, too.

I don't have an iPhone, so I don't have an iPhone.

I play tetris on my "multimedia" (not smart but not dumb) phone, and I've seen Angry Birds, which looks like fun. Plants vs Zombies is also good, and Peggle and Bejewelled are always awesome.

I do not have the iPhone yet probably going to for xmas but I do have the ipod touch and apps I have are

Facebook

IMDB (international movie database)

Kindle (i have a 1st gen kindlw too so I can read myu books both places)

Pandora

GI Monitor

All Recipes

Craigs pro (free version of craigs list)

Some airkast radio stations ( I live in OR now but like to listen to radio stations from RI)

Solitare

iJewels (like bejeweled)

Micromedex Drug information (lists side effects etc of meds)

WebMD

Sudoku

msnbc.com

Twitter

Mancala (marble time game)

Crackle(free streaming movies and tv shows which change what they have to offer)

GH@home (good housekeeping free tips)

MyFitnessPal (calorie tracker water intake, exercise calorie burn info)

I only get free apps so those listed above are all free to get I have others too but they are the ones  I like the best I also have tried some others and it doesnt upset me if I dont like then since they were free =) most apps that I find I am interested in have a "lite" version which is a free version so helps you from testing the waters before getting the full app

enjoy

Great! Thanks for all the tips. I am looking at a number of these now.

Yes, I have a netflix account. I've added the app. Also have HBO at home, and looking to add HBO GO.

Thanks!

16 games and half a dozen movies. Found some of the games mentioned above and a few others that suit my taste.

As a baseball fan, I have to try baseball superstars. It is a highly rated game.

Super Stickman Golf also seems like fun.

I grabbed Sudoku, Chess, Solitaire Deluxe, Angry Birds, Fragger, Lux (a game like Risk), and Mike Tyson's main event.

Thanks again for all the ideas!

When you're poor like me, you have to learn to find alternative ways of passing the time >_>

I've just ordered that particular mp3 player, and I am so going to play Doom on it when it arrives :p

The second 'bubble' game is a fun one, btw. I know it as Bust-A-Move on the N64, but it seems like you can get it for iPhone too: itunes.apple.com/us/app/bust-a-move/id326144884?mt=8

Also see that the iPhone has Final Fantasy I-III. I used to love RPGs and the FF series in particular. Can't seem to get into them these days, but RPGs are a fantastic way of passing the time. I used to spend months on a new FF game, easily. Does help if you're into stats and collecting things, but it isn't essential.

Oh, and I love doing sudoku :p
