I got an iPod Touch for Christmas, and immediately starting having some fun on the app store. I purchased Tetris and Real Soccer 2009. RS 2009 is great and Tetris is okay.

But the biggest question: would I plunk down the $.99 for iFart, the gold standard of app store farting apps?

There are a couple of free farting apps, but they aren’t very good. Whoopie Cushion and Mr. Poot offer only a few weak, poor farts, though they are free. Hell, I had an iTunes gift card: so I bought iFart.

And I wasn’t the only one. iFart is the number one app on the App Store right now, and got nearly 40,000 downloads on Christmas day as iPod Touch and iPhone debutantes got down and dirty.

It’s not as if iFart is without competition. A simple search for “fart” on the App Store search yields nearly 50 farting apps for iPhones and iPods.

Why not? I am pro farting apps. Give the people what they want.

But, one complaint about iFart: I swear that “squatter” is just a shorter version of “poker dealer.” And what is up with “the sick dog?” I don’t even know what that noise is.

I am such a loser.
