I have an iPod touch (32GB, 4th Gen, iOS 5). I was wondering: what is the best mockup app that I can use to create mockups on my iPod touch (not the iPad)? Thanks!
EDIT: Sorry about the title typo. Apparently I can't edit it.

If by "mockup" you mean to simulate the app on the actual device, then XCode comes with an iPhone simulator that you can test on before going through the process of provisioning to test on the device.
Otherwise, if you mean to just mockup the appearance of the app, I'd recommend PhotoShop. And if you don't have PhotoShop (it is kinda expensive if you're just starting out or not part of a company with it), I'd recommend Gimp.
I hope this answers the question. Otherwise, please clarify what you mean.

Good luck! : )
We've been working with graphic designers lately, and it would be good if we could have a tool that they could use to quickly mock up custom iOS user interfaces. So far they've used Photoshop, and it's extra work for them and for us.
I've been toying with the idea of trying to teach them to use Storyboards. Come to think of it, can you run a simulation of a storyboard UI, that lets you try the transitions? There is a menu item in the edit menu called "Simulate document" but I'm not sure how to use it. It's dimmed for me.
