Even on a non JB's iphone/ipod the other can be a lot.

A lot of apps save a lot of data. Like games have saves, uer info, entries made in notes, emails. Basically any info saved by apps goes into other. The "apps" memory is made up of the app files themselves (which is why they don't increase in size as you use them)
