I am new(ish) to Apple (having used them for video production in the past but not as a PC). I received an Ipod Touch yesterday and will be getting my new Macbook Pro i7 today.

I know that Apple is anti-flash, and I am trying to get watch flash videos on my Ipod Touch with little success. I found a bookmark workaround, but it doesn't seem to work well. Is there a mini-browser or some other workaround that I can use to watch flash videos on my Ipod?

Additionally, I would like to download a free app for my new Macbook Pro to convert flv video to mp4. Does anyone have a preferred app?

Lastly, is there any recommended software that I must have for my Macbook Pro? I have already downloaded:
• aLaunch
• Audacity
• Bean
• Blender
• Caffeine
• Celtx
• Coconut Battery
• Cyberduck
• Deeper
• Dock Spaces
• Fair Game
• ffmpegX
• Firefox
• GIMP
• Google Chrome
• Hand Brake
• iDMG
• iPod Disk
• KisMAC
• Name Changer
• NVU
• Perian
• Quicksilver
• Text Wrangler
• The Unarchiver
• Thunderbird
• VLC
• WM Components
• Xtorrent

Cliffs:
Need Ipod Touch flash video workaround.
Need free flv to mp4 converter.
Would like Macbook Pro software recommendations.
