Font aficianados, take note: Here's a font-making app that's easy to use and customize. Designed for the iPad, iFontMaker ($6.99) is a hands-on, touchscreen-design tool equipped with an intuitive freehand editor. It's easy to create a font that mimics your handwriting or even uses emoticon-style images to build a new alphabet of sorts. Use your font to create a phrase or word that can be emailed or saved for later use in compatible programs. Whether you're a sensible Helvetica kind of font nerd or more adventurous (Webdings, maybe?), it's easy to find just your type. http://2ttf.com.
