Two Way by Vinay Selvaraj (Free, 1.4 MB): Turn any iPhone or iPod touch into a basic handheld CB radio.

ClassAction by OhmzTech (Free, 4.0 MB): Here's a great way for college and university students to find a study buddy. The idea is to identify nearby classmates who are taking the same courses as you and allow communication with them via IM. The app is available for those attending public higher education campuses in the United States, plus allows anonymity or a specific username as well as quick enabling and disabling.
Fireworks Frenzy by Nick Sherman (Free, 10.0 MB): In this action-packed arcade game, your simple, yet challenging objective is to ignite fireworks at the proper altitude. To do that, just swipe on the firework as they pass through the matching color circle indicator in the sky, or as close as possible. The meter at the top shows your success rate and when it's empty, game over. In addition, there are score multiplier bonuses to collect, plus Game Center and Facebook integration for score sharing.
Crazy Lizard - Ultimate Gecko Action! by Froggy Studios (Free, 28.2 MB): Come experience a mashup of craziness in this endless climbing game. You'll take control of a determined lizard determined to make it as far up a tree as possible. Along the way, avoid branches, collect shiny rings, and perform spin attacks to knock off hazardous snails. The game features 3-D graphics, upbeat outback music, and Game Center integration. There is a bottom ad banner that can be removed for $0.99.
AutoSampler - rediscover the beauty in everyday moments! by misskiwi ($0.99, 11.4 MB): This is an app for those who aren't afraid to embrace the possibly wonderful unexpected. Specifically, AutoSampler extracts random frames from videos, either imported or captured using the app, then assembles them in randomly generated collages with randomly applied effects. Ten are generated at a time, which you can select and export, or perform a pull-to-refresh and be presented with ten new. Obviously, the app works best with newer iDevices, such as iPhone 4S and 5G iPod touch, due to full HD support.
