The iPhone and iPod Touch have turned into major gaming platforms, and it should come as no surprise that people want to kill as much time as possible with their favorite mobile device. Welcome to the world of the all consuming role-playing games.

It’s easy to forget sometimes that the iPhone is also an iPod, but with the ever growing collection of music applications, you can get yourself an endless supply of music for “the best iPod yet” (as Steve Jobs like to say).

There are over 50,000 applications for the  iPod Touch and iPhone now, but luckily there are still tons of free ones out there to help occupy your time!
