^^^ I just saw that on my facebook feed by Gmail. Novel idea.

/I'm using & have set up nicely the Android Calendar already on my phone and don't need to change over though.

maybe it has been mentioned before but Triple Town is very good. you get a few games free and then have to pay. Its €3 which is a little steep though.

The other game I'm playing now is Mass Effect Infiltrator. I got it when it was on sale for 25 cent. it is very good once you get used to the controls.

Remote for itunes
For people that miss the remote on the iphone, here's the android version, it actually works better than the original.

Anyone tried Chameleon Launcher for Tablets?

I really like the way it handles widgets, just wish there were more of them optimised for it.

Tried it on the Nexus 7 and it works great so far.

Someone here mentioned an app that changes your profile depending on the Wifi you're connected to. I thought I bookmarked it but can't find it, could anyone give me a pointer? Am using Llama but there's too many towers it doesn't recognise so doesn't work sometimes.

Also I'm having a terrible time syncing music from iTunes to my android and my pictures too. Anyone have any tips?

You add the cells to your area. So if you are home, "Learn" your area for 5 minutes. Maybe walk around your house for that period.

Do the same in work.

They all really do the same thing. Llama hasn't failed me so far and I'm using it for a year or two.

Bought the new Rayman game last night for €2.39. Addictive is not the word. I only bought it because so many of the reviews were saying how great it is, it's worth every penny.

At that price I don't think they will be getting many people to try it, €7.77 goes a lot further than 1 app on the android market :eek:

Totally agree, considering the free version is for kickstarters and beta testers they have a cheek asking that much for it and from the comments the 7.77 version still works like its in beta. Shame because it does look like it;s worth paying some money for ............... just not nearly that much :pac:

I see a lot of mentions for Swiftkey which is good. But I prefer Swype.

It's fiddlier to get onto the phone as you have to register but it's free. I've used both and I like SwiftKey but I found Swype to be more accurate for me. Too many "or"s being converted to "our"s on SwiftKey and similar type issues that made it annoying. Or maybe I'm just used to Swype. It's worth a look anyway.

Deadly game altogether. Been hooked on it all week.

Sopcast

Very handy for watching Live stuff not on tv if you know what I mean

Anyone who had it, does the audio work? I've used it twice and I only get visuals but no audio. No big deal, just curious.

Sound on JB is broken in the latest version (0.8.8).

The latest version is v 8.0.1

It just updated automatically for me during the week, you may need to do it manually.
Its just beta though and I'm having issues listening to the Villa - Norwich game.

Ok this is a piece of hardware rather than an app (but it does have a complimenting Adoid App as well) but I just thought I'd share as I think it's pretty cool

If you don't have a car kit but want something that works with your android phone to give you a hands free (and legal) in car expereince, check out the
Motorola Roadster 2.
