Minimal designed interfaces seem to be the most popular these days, and the T-Zero Countdown Timer, gives you just that. The information you want, with as less clutter as possible.
T-Zero Countdown Timer allows you to add events and see it countdown in real time, exactly how many days, hours, minutes, and seconds are left.
The app is simplistic, has sharing to Twitter and Facebook and supports iPhone, iPod Touch and iPad devices.
Downsides to the app are: you are limited to 10 entries, and there is no event alert.
There also may be a few bugs, like one I found, where if you try to delete a entry it says the wrong title and then disables the edit, share and settings buttons until you close the app from running in the background.
T-Zero Countdown Timer isn't perfect, but is the most simple countdown app, that just displays the information you need.
Here's a very short sneak peek of the next Angry Birds Toons episode. The full episode will be available to watch from any Angry Birds app, this Sunday.
Dots is a game about connecting ...dots. Similar to games like Bejeweled, but as minimal as you could make it.
There's 60 seconds on the clock, and you must connect as many dots as you can. Dots must be connected in straight lines. You can change direction, but can't go diagonal. You collect the dots you connect in the game. These are your 'points'. You can use your dots to buy power-ups.
Dots is already becoming a huge hit with over 1 million downloads in just a week and has hit the top of the free apps charts in countries around the world.
If you're a fan of these connecting game like; Bejeweled, or Jewel Quest, you may love the simplicity of Dots.
Gravity Maze gives you the simplicity of a ball-in-a-maze puzzle game on iOS.
The game theme has this very cool darkness to it, as it's mostly only black and gray colors.
Simple to play. Just use you iOS devices accelerometer, and rotate and tilt you device to get all the 'balls', or in this case, Fluff creatures escape the maze.
There are 45 different levels divided into 3 worlds with a slight different game play method in each.
While it's a puzzle, it's more of a relaxing / less stressful physics game. It's not complicated and is pretty straight forward.
The graphic's look great and the dark theme is also very cool. A fun, maze game.

Kids will love drawing with the iLuv Drawing Dinosaurs app, available for iOS.
In this app, your kids can learn to draw, with step by step tracing instructions and with voice guidance.
There are 19 different kid-ish cartoon looking Dinosaurs available to choose from. Dinosaurs include the: T-Rex, Stegosaurs, Velociraptor, Triceratops, Pterodactyl and many more... If you feel like free-styling it, there's also a blank page available.
There are many tools including: Paint brush & pencils with many colors to choose from. Texture brush with different types of patterns and textures to choose from. Paint bucket tool to quickly fill in large areas. There's a eraser, undo button, clip art images to add to your drawings and different backgrounds to finish off your image.
You can save your image into the apps drawings book, where you can edit your drawings later. Or you can save your drawing to your devices photo album. Also options to email or print.
While the app is intuitive, there is some learning. Like holding buttons down for a few seconds to open, or what each button does. But after a few drawing you'll quickly learn how to use the app.
My only criticism would be, some lines on the Dino's, like the body lines, crosses over the legs. You can see what I mean in my T-Rex drawing at the top of the page. I'm sure the kids won't find the over lapping lines a problem, but it's incorrect and this is a learning app.
Kids will love learning how to draw with the iLuv Drawing app. And if they want more things to draw, there are also many other drawing apps from the creators available including; Vehicles, Monsters, People, Santa, Animals, and more. You can find all the apps available on the learnwithfunapps.com website.
There is a iPad and iPhone/iPod Touch version of iLuv Drawing Dinosaurs available. They are not universal apps, so if you want both you'd need to buy both. Personally, I wouldn't recommend the iPhone app just because drawing on a iPhone screen can be really difficult due to the size.
