ebay selling - quick and easy

they are just a few of my fravorates, share the joy on yours!

A few of mine:

Red Lazer - Barcode ssanner - this is a great app and easily tells you online prices of stuff you find in highstreet shops helps if you dont know if its a good deal or not

Tony Hawkes Pro Skater 2 - Pretty self explanitory its identical to how it was on the Psone i loved it then and still love it now

Magic seaweed - Surfing hotspots app

Free Wifi - Does what oit says on the tin, lists all free hotspots near your location

Streetlight - Iphone 4 only, torch app

As above, tom tom is fantastic! better than any sat nav i have used before!

Only one to add is DropBox - allows 2 gb of online storage to pick up anywhere or anything with internet access!
Great for backing up and transferring stuff to Iphone!

CoPilot - £25 SatNav. Does what is says on the tin.
Sky News - Loads better than the BBC App
Absolute 80s - As it sounds.
Planet Rock - Probably the best radio station out there.
eBay - Excellent slick app, which does all I need eBay wise...
RDP - Remote control of a Windows PC
Tiger Woods Golf - Excellent fun!

Downloaded this last night - bloody brilliant! Went around my room at 12.30am working out where I could buy Deoderant, detailing supplies, CDs etc etc cheaper!!

cheers chaps.... ive just downloaded photobucket and the barcode app onto my android phone....... useful stuff as you can search for ages and find nothing, these lists show whats useful assuming some of you will have similar interests to me

high noon

Dynolicious - great one for all us petrolheads! measures 0-60 times, G meter etc, very good actually.
EyeTV - Stream live and recorded TV from your Mac
TV Catchup - Not strictly an app as you access it through Safari, but allows you to watch live freeview channels, brilliant!
ZumoCast - Allows you to stream your entire iTunes library to your iphone, again brilliant!
MotionX GPS - I did a blog about this nifty app, allows you to track your journey, add way points and overlay it to a google map after, you can then select any point on your journey to give the posistion, speed, time etc at that exact place on the journey. A bit geeky but quite cool.
Guitar Toolkit - Pretty useful if you play guitar, in built tuner, chord chart etc.
Photoshop Express - A watered down version of Photoshop for iphone, pretty cool considering it's free.
Fruit Ninja - A simple game that i'm very addicted to right now!

My mate had a similar problem,

Try clearing your cookies and cache, turn your block pop ups off...

Provided you have a 3G sim card also you should be good

Skobbler lite - Free Turn by Turn navigation !

Browser - Full Screen web browser

Talking Tom - Talking Cat app - its very funny !

Pencil illusion - uses the camera and draws the image as if its a pencil sketch in realtime

Colorblast - Photography App for playing with the colour of photos. Great for car pics (free version available)
Ghost Capture - Photography App for putting "ghosts" into pictures you've taken. Had my missis going for ages with this
Roadtrip lite - MPG and fuel App
POI-Lite - Speed camera detector. Has spotted everyone so far when I've used it and its free!! Kills battery though
Sky+ - Record things on your Sky box from anywhere

Done the Jailbreak thing for a year or so. Once novelty had worn off I've gone back to 4.1 and now phone seems to work alot faster

You need to ensure that you go to the iphone version of the tv catchup website site rather than their normal desktop website, that might be your problem actually. Search in google for "tv catchup iphone" rather than just "tv catchup". Am I making sense or gibberish?

Once you've got it working it'll be amazing I promise!

Press the + button and save to home screen too. Has a proper icon

Got it, thank alot it works great

Good isn't it!

Isnt it just no Tv license for me now lol

i forgot that i started this thread haha, gotta sat that tv catchup is a worthy winner!!

Yea its good but it would be even better if it was an app, also noticed theres no tv guide on the iphone versions, not that im complaining its still great.

If you add it as a shortcut to your desktop then it has it's own funky icon, so it's just like using an app to be honest. A TV guide would be a bonus actually.

Not anymore you can't. The Spotify service was closed down (some rumour about them selling to Google??), but it was a great app before they vanished. Zumocast is a more than worthy replacement I find, does exactly the same thing.

Lol at the isurgeon, will have to have a look at that one!

Also, whoever suggested Fruit Ninja, GTFO! Can't stop playing it!

Angry Birds Halloween is out as well!!

It's awesome, simple but very addictive!

Lockbox - password protected data store.
USB disk - use your iphone as a USB disk.
FakeCaller - ever need to get out of a situation, use this.
BBC iplayer.
JustinTV - free footy etc if you can find a stream
WhereMark - search for anything (train stations, food joints, etc), then point and look through your phone's video camera and see exactly where that thing is.
HA Traffic - traffic announcements.
Webcam free - view various UK live traffic cameras.
RAC traffic.
Bump - Share data just by bumping hands with another iphone user.
Tango - video calling over 3G (not wifi only like facetime).
Redlaser - scan the barcode of almost any item and receive best prices off the internet.
uType iTalk - reads out aloud texts and emails on your iphone.
SoundHound - Hum or sing a tune and it will tell you what it is and link to youtube video of it.
Mindreader - freaky how it guesses what you are thinking of.
Gravity Runner - pretty addictive game.
Rhythm Tap - VERY addictive game.
Slice It - Another addictive game.
Teamviewer - remotely control and view your laptop/PC.
Voiceplus - record your voice and mess about with it.

That 'SoundHound' is a wicked app !!

Gone are the days of not knowing who sings a particular song I like on the radio !!

I've just been testing it out for the last half hour with every song that's come on and it hasn't let me down yet...

I gotta get myself a life, lol

It's even more entertaining when you get a tone deaf mate to do it. My mate hummed Jay-Z's 'Hard Knock Life' and it suggested Frank Sinatra's 'My Way'!!

Sky News

Autosport

Bubbles

Met Office

Lotus Racing (very good)

Facebook

Google Earth - this was very useful in the summer holidays when me and my lad went and got lost in the countryside - it helped me figure out where the hell we was!!

Just downloaded it. Can't wait to go to bed tonight now.

Have you seen this site where people upload their recordings?? Sleep Talk Recorder
Some funny ones on there.

I have that program as my missus is a right sleeptalker. Bit gutted though as so far all it's recorded is me snoring one night, our little girl crying as she fell out of bed (it was her 2nd night in a proper bed) and then a random sex session.

It is a brilliant program though. One day I will catch the mrs sleep talking and upload it for you all

I have had to stop listening as I was laughing too much and people were looking at me at work. can't wait to upload one of the wife when she talks again. It's so funny. She sleep walked last night, but no talking.

She ran out of bed, and a few minutes later re-appears. Turns out she randomly went downstairs, woke up and came back to bed. haha. It's always entertaining.

Reckon we should all get it and create a thread for recordings.

any one know if this is on the android market?

I sleep talk and the misses use to record me talking but stopped for a bit.
There is 1 recording left of me talking the moomins in a meeting and they dont speak english so it was a pointless meeting and how her sisters wedding is a farse and something else.

Just installed this. Will test and get back to you all

My mrs was sleep talking last night, but she's a mumbler so it struggled to pick anything useful up. I think I need to put my phone on her side of the bed as it seems to have a better mic.

It did catch the cries again as our little girl fell out of bed
