iPhone Touch for the Elderly or Geriatric

I believe I've just discovered an under severed market. Albeit not a very sexy one, I believe it could be a very large and lucrative one for iPhone application developers. We recently bestowed my father with a bright shiny new iPod Touch for his 70th birthday. He is a lover of gadgets and technology from a user perspective. But what apps should we recommend to him. I don't suspect he is going to get a lot of mileage out of Duke Nukem or HipHop mixer. I also had other challenges such as no of very bad internet access. So I googled and googled and found nothing really answered my questions. So here is my initial take on setting up the iPhone or Touch and a few suggested applications. Leave comments on other suggestions.

iPhone Settings:

1. Set the ringtone as "Old Phone." It is the loudest one.
2. Set the Mail minimum font size to giant
3. Turn on keyboard click (may not be heard, but could help with keys)
4. Turn the brightness up all the way
5. Use the MobileMe service for Locate my iPhone/Touch (very helpful)
