There are so many applications to choose from Apple's AppStore on ITunes that a person could literally spend months or even years plugging through the lists. Not anymore.

Just because an application or game doesn’t make the top 25 list doesn’t make it a piece of junk. There are hidden gems all through the lists that are worth checking out. In true mining spirit here are a few uncovered rough stones that will become the prize jewels of any app collection. Being free doesn’t hurt one bit either.

Waiting is never fun. Often when people wait for something they read, watch TV or even play a game. But what is to be done when the waiting is done in public with no books, televisions or game systems to be had? The answer lies within the IPhone/IPod Touch.

Wattpad for IPhone and IPod Touch

Wattpad is an amazing little app that allows the user to search through a large database of electronic books. Users can download the books they want to read to the library contained in the application. Then the next time a user has to wait in line, in traffic of even for dinner this nice, little, educational time-waster will be available to pass the hours away.

Television From Around The World On TVUPlayer

Probably the biggest time waster on the planet is television. It consumes free minutes like a fire consumes oxygen. Now users can reach that vegetative state in the comfort of, well, anywhere, provided you have an IPhone or an internet connection.

TVUPlayer gives users access to virtually 100’s of channels, both foreign and local. Gone are the days of waiting for relax-time. It offers channels in practically every genre including horror, cartoons, nostalgic television and movies.

The only drawback is there isn’t any way to find out what is currently playing. There is no channel guide or episode listing to label the program being streamed.

Capcom’s MegaMan And Resident Evil On IPhone and IPod Touch

Capcom has made its presence known throughout the gaming community. Now they have pushed onto the IPhone and IPod Touch with a classic title and a contemporary hit.

Mega Man II is available in both full version and as a free demo as is Resident Evil: Degeneration. Mega Man II is widely regarded as the best Mega Man title of all-time. Aging gamers and purists alike see the 80’s smash hit as a landmark in console gaming. Resident Evil: Degeneration was developed for play in handheld gaming and represents the first RE title to venture onto the IPhone and IPod Touch.

Both are excellent time consuming applications for your pocket.

The Need For Speed Testing (IPod Touch)

What’s the sense in trying to download books and stream TV without a strong enough internet connection? There isn’t any. Now with Speedtest, a free app, users can test download and upload speeds for WiFi connections. This testing app is very useful when checking on a new WiFi connection you have joined.
