There's also Draw! (web version at http://drawbang.com), a tiny pixel art editor. You can use it also to make GIF animations, but it requires Facebook connection to save your art. The app is free and you can download it at https://itunes.apple.com/us/app/drawbang/id578228937

Pixel Painter is also neat and currently free.

 Tiny pixels is one of the best but check out edge touch to!! This one has an animation creator and layers.

some more pixel apps for iphone/ipod:

doteditor, dottouch, edge touch, tiny dot edit

There may be more but I can't remember now

Ah, that really sucks . especially because my house doesn't have wireless so I could only get my pixel art off my ipod by going to the library or one of my friends houses. Ah well, I'm not away from my computer that often again i suppose...

 The photo gallery app was designed for ... (brace yourself) photos.  Every image that gets copied in will internally get turned into a JPEG - this isn't TinyPixels doing it, it's the photo gallery program.  So they had no choice.

 As for emailing, unless this app has animation support, there's no reason whatsoever to support gif.  In every other way, PNG is superior and has worked in all the major browsers, IE included, for years now.  *Animated* gifs are indeed a big deal, and that's one area where PNGs really need to get their act together.  Fortunately firefox is pushing a new animated PNG standard, so we're getting there.

I should really try this out because I've been thinking of writing my own *serious* pixel art app so I can get out of my nerd cave and do heavy-lifting on game projects in a nicer, outdoors setting.  The laptop+wacom is just too awkward for that.  I don't know if this'll be suitable, since I don't know how tuned it is for serious workflows (I definitely need animation support, period).  But hopefully I'll get some program sooner or later.

It says on the help page, "PNG or JPEG for e-mail, JPEG for Photos album, and PNG for Twitpic.

Adam, will you please report on Zeratanus' no gif output. Is the png output png8 or 24. Can you tell? I guess you need to email yourself any work???

I might have to check this one out, thanks for the info and the post :)

just bought it, pretty cool!

I have used a program called edge touch for my pixel art needs. I suggest checking that one out too and I will probably check this one out. The one problem with edge touch is that i am pretty sure that the only way to get it onto the computer and keep it the same size distorts the color but i may be wrong.

Now I really Need An Ipod touch and now i can do real stuff when i am bored at school lol

Good Stuff Thnxx  sedgemonkey

what the... reading the list of features more carefully... it can only export to photos album as a .jpg! it can email as a .png or jpg, but no .gif? What's up with that? >=|. i guess png would work alright, but why would they do this whole jpg thing?

 got it :D

Oh man, I've been waiting for something like this.

 I WANT aN IPOD TOOOOOOUUUUUUCH!!!!!!!!!!!!! :(

Rockin! Totally picking that up when I get home later (just needs the ability to import images and it'd be perfect)

Why can't someone make something similar for Windows Mobile?  All of the drawing programs I have are auto-anti-aliasing rubbish.  I just want MS Paint on my Dell Axim!
