iPod Touch Apps for Travel

If you need travel information, like getting your flight status or information about your current or future destination, these iPod touch applications will help you when traveling, and most are free!

• Flashlight: (Free) Flashlight fills your screen with a bright white light, which is perfect for dark places, such as concerts. You can use your iPod touch as a flashlight to find a seat.

• FlightTrack: (Not free) FlightTrack offers real-time status info for flights from around the world, with live weather updates, route maps, gate numbers, and information about delays and cancellations.

• HearPlanet: (Free) Turn your iPod touch into an audio tour guide. HearPlanet plays audio tracks of Wikipedia articles based on points of interest surrounding your current location. It offers both the text and audio of the Wikipedia article; the premium version improves on the free version by adding real human voices.

• Scribular: (Free) Scribular is an easy and fun way to share and explore the world around you. You can leave virtual notes at locations, and you can see what others have written about where you are.

• Showtimes: (Free) Showtimes first locates where you are (the location of your iPod touch), and then provides relevant local movie theater information, show times, movie descriptions, movie ticket purchasing capabilities, and trailers.
