    Hi lads ive a few questions about my new HTC Wildfire.

    Is there an "itunes" style program for my PC which can be used to sync apps?
    I tried downloading the one from this page but the download never starts (in firefox it just says "starting")

    Is there an app that can use facebook pics or google pics as contact pics? I.E. I want to use the feature on my phone but don't want to take pics of all my contacts, it would be much easier to just save images from facebook/google straight to my device but there doesn't seem to be support for this!:(

    Is there a good app for themes or are they downloaded individually from the market?
    Thanks in advance!:)

    I don't know about the iTunes style program, just try googling it, I know that there's a few open source ones for android. I couldn't tell you about HTC sync cause I don't have a HTC phone. But syncmypix is a great apps for contact pictures, but only pulls them from Facebook, search them it on the Market, and I'm not too sure about the themes either.

    you need to have a custom Recovery to install themes
    not too hard to do (go to XDA's Wildfire Android Development scetion :))

    Actually just remembered a iTunes style program for syncing is Double Twist, give it a Google (also I think you can upgrade to wireless syning also), but the free one is just USB (I think).

    Just sign in to the HTC Sense Facebook app the.go to contacts and edit them and add their Facebooks surely? Not too sure but that makes the most sense.

    ye , when you have your facebook sorted on the phone , you can link your contacts to your facebook contacts, making their profile picture the contact picture on your phone.

    You can red link your contacts to every Facebook contact photo using fb that comes on the phone.try going to your People app then in top right hit Link and it links to their Facebook

    At present, there is no PC based iTunes like program to sync your apps. A demo of the Android Market for PC was shown last year but hasn't been released yet.

    An app called AppBrain can track the apps you have downloaded.

    If you log into your GMail on your PC and go to your contacts there, you shoule be able to assign a photo to your contacts.
