Our Groceries, available for iPhone, Android, and Blackberry – Free (Ad supported. Paid version removes ads)

With 18 month old twins, and a 4 year old, our trips to the grocery store are filled with laughter, tears, tantrums, and arguments, and that’s just my wife and I.

So, suffice it to say, we need to be organized, and attack that store with a strategic approach.

Luckily, my wife is a bit of a gadget geek too, so we both use the Our Groceries application for our phones. You can set up multiple shopping lists, and even create recipes that will add all the ingredients to your list with one click. You can also categorize each item based on the location/aisle in the grocery store.

The greatest feature however is the ability to synchronize multiple devices. So, as I start at the dairy aisle, and my wife starts at the produce, we can see as the other person checks things off the list in real time!

It’s a very simple application to use, and helps us save time and money at the store, even though we do look a little geeky while we shop.

I have a Dream. An HTC Dream. The first of the Android phones. And this is my review so far. I’ve had it for a couple of months now, and have taken it through it’s paces.

I don’t have an iPhone, and I’ve been known to openly bash Apple, even though I absolutely love their products. It’s a love/hate thing. I love my iPod touch, and am attached to it, but hate Apple and how proprietary everything they do it. I’m kind of an open source hippy sometimes.

My brother has an iPhone, he’s a technophobe, and his main use for it is to take pictures of himself while pooping at random public (and private) restrooms and then e-mail them to me. Luckily, they are from the waist up. Talk about a waste of an iPhone. Although, it’s no more of a waste than some of the applications that are out there. I mean, iFart? Come on?!?! You have a sophisticated piece of technology, and the best thing you can come up with is making it fart? Check out this video from CollegeHumor on cell phones, it’s great: http://www.collegehumor.com/video:1899978.

Okay, back to the point. I’m going to go on record, like many others, and say that Twitter is going to be the biggest thing of 2009, by far. Facebook is now trying to copy it with its new home page, and more and more people are using Twitter. It is no longer just a haven for geeks.

I’ve tried a few iPhone apps for Twitter, and have landed of TwitterFon (iTunes Link). It does pretty much all you need with regards to the feed, friends, following, replying, Tweeting, and even searching…and it’s free! I haven’t tried any of the paid apps yet, because I’m cheap, and this one does everything I need it to do. So, try it out, I don’t think you’ll be disappointed.

Stay tuned for more ways to use your iPhone/iPod touch to its fullest.
