Downloaded this last night - ****** 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 :)
 
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!
 
TV Catchup - Not strictly an app as you access it through Safari, but allows you to watch live freeview channels, brilliant!

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

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

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 :)
 
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.

SPOTIFY_listen to any song by any artist, anywhere with a 3G signal.

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!!

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.

Slice It - Another addictive game.
Teamviewer - remotely control and view your laptop/PC.
Voiceplus - record your voice and mess about with it.
