    Very effective if the signal strength is around 60-80%

    I like dessid, it does what it's supposed to do. I'm certainly glad I got it. It's got me online in Dublin Airport (for free), a pub in Westport, my granny's house and so on. You pick up quite a few signals in Dublin city centre too.

    You would need to create a US or UK based iTunes account. (See here for steps)

    I've managed to do this, but still can't buy stuff from the itunes store as whenever I go to pay it just asks for billing info which I fill in and nothing happens. I have tried CC and PayPal. Can anyone tell me what I can do to purchase from the US store?

    Opera Mini was released yesterday. Can't see the point myself, as Safari does me fine, but some may prefer it.

    Also, Bird Strike is free today/yesterday. Very similar to Doodle Jump but is great fun.

    Unfotunately, this is where it gets messy. You'd need either a Credit Card based in the US (with a US address), or you'd need to be able to get your hands on an iTunes card from the US (these are hard to get, unless you have friends / family over in the States - you used to be able to buy online, but there was a massive fraud problem and Apple tightened controls).

    You can download as many free Apps as you like, it shouldn't ask for CC info.

    Dont go straight to create an account. Go to download a free app on iTunes (US Region of course) without an account. It will then prompt you to create one> Create one at this point and click on No Payment.

    Trying to use Eirtext but when I try to send it says "App requires internet access. Please ensure that WiFi or cellular data is enabled and try again".

    Can this only be used with wifi?

    For those of you who have Jailbroken phones, download MewSeek. I downloaded it ages ago but never used it. I dont want to go in to details but it uses P2P and is brilliant!

    I've bought a couple of apps for my iPhone, -iTreadmill and iMapMyWalk. I wanted a pedometer style app so I got iTreadmill. It seems decent enough although I'm not 100% convinced about the accuracy of the distances it says I've walked. Especially as yesterday I bought iMapMyWalk and walked the same route home and the distance was less and pretty much matches what the clock says on the car when I clocked the distance.

    The iMapMyWalk shows you the route you've walked on a map, the distance, how long it took, calories burned. Apparently you can also take pics on your walk and it uploads them to a website so you can see the route you walked and the pics you took. I haven't tried that aspect out yet though.

    As if the Irish Times app wasn't bad enough, a massive banner redirecting you to their website has now suddenly appeared at the bottom of the screen in it. :mad:

    Really addictive game and takes advantage of the touch screen in a clever way.

    But mostly really, really addictive. Cheap as well.

    For anyone who uses Ping or free foto messenger, Yak Messenger is far superior. Not only cab you send text and picture, you can also send video/movie and audio voice clips. Great app
