cheers, just mailed my best iPhone friend to see if he's interested, no point in going it alone!

another app, good for group mails and or group messaging i'd recomend is Beluga. exactly like whats app but there is an option for group mailing (with gps location optional, be careful

ive used it quite a bit and its very simple and has never given me any bother.

very easy to set up a free american account though. just go to app store and change the flag from ireland to american and bottom right of screen and when you click the app to download you have the option of creating a new account(using a new email address of course)

Very handy app and have used it so many times in the past few days!

For those with American iTunes accounts, Heytell is great.

Basically a walkie talkie between yourself and a mate. Hold screen and speak. Let go and then it's sent straight to your friends phone. They get an alert if app isn't open.

Talk back and forth, I suppose a good alternative to sending a text you don't want to type or have the trouble of leaving a voicemail..

This is a serious app in fairness. Have it the past few days and its excellent. So handy when driving if you don't want to stop to text/ring.

Would love to see maybe a conference type facility set up where 3+ people could all hear each other.

But its a top app!

Awesome great to hear technology getting one over an ignorant garda. Keep us posted about what happens.

id advise against youtubing it if its going the legal/court route.

The best part is he had only installed it the day before. Had it happened a few days later then he probably would have been bored and not been using it anymore.
He wont do the youtube thing until after he sees what happens over it.

Ive just downloaded it myself. It records constantly and when you crash it saves the last 10 secs or whatever you set it to in the settings.
It also saves the last recorded minute when you press a button on the screen.

iCarBlackBox.
Im definitely installing this now.
A mate of mine had this installed. I didnt know what it was.

We went through a green light just as it changed to amber. A cop stopped us and told him he'd gone through a red. The cop was really ignorant when my friend protested, with all sorts of threats etc about how he could do him for more than the red light if he didnt shut up.

Afterwards when we stopped in a car park he took his phone off the dash and he had a video. It showed us clearly go through a green light and recorded the cop being an asshole, even though he was completely in the wrong.

Now there is proof hes going to let it go all the way to court. Wait til the cop and the judge see it. He says he'll send it into RTE too if he has too, and put it on youtube. I'd hate to be that cop tbh.

Brilliant. I want it.

Sleep cycle alarm clock.
Orange icon with a white clock image. 4 and a half stars.

Theres no pro/non pro version. Well worth it at 79c.

sleep cycle is great but id like if i could put it on, and continue to listen to the music/podcast as i doze off. for this reason alone, i dont use it anymore.

i've either had a good night sleep or i havent. i dont need a chart to tell me.

This looks interesting, it's a facebook chat app called facebook messenger that allows you to call your facebook contacts. Users on the other end who are using a browser will get a popup window to start the call. Not released yet, but if it is as good as it sounds then this could be worth getting.

Supposedly a few facebook profiles in america last week had a button at the top (the one that says send a message) change to *call* when the person was online.
When it was clicked it just brought up a 404 error.
It has since been put back to normal.

However, with the arrival of the HTC Facebook phones next month,(suggesting when the ability to call profiles will be activated) this type of app for iphones will be rampant.
I hope ebuddy pro will incorporate it well.

yep..I found that after using it for a week I could see from it that the mornings where I felt tired were the ones where I didn't sleep well so it does track pretty well.
I used to set it for about 20 minutes earlier than my alarm clock so as to give me plenty of time to wake up and found that that the mornings it did wake me within that timeframe was the ones I felt the freshest as well.

Totally agree.
Its a great app. When i first used it because i was conscious that it was there i seemed to have a crap sleep. After a little while it just became really like second nature.
I found that i would awake at night and be fairly tired, look at my clock without moving then sleep again, it would know that i woke even though i tried my best not to move.

I used hhis for a while but found it unuseful. Once turned on it assumes you're asleep once you're lying still. So it reports a longer sleep period than I actually had.

In the bed so that it can detect your movement

I have two versions of Dessid. The latest and the original. The original let's you scan to find the wifi. The latest makes you type in the ssid. Both work. I've never had to tick any boxes or agree terms. Is it because I'm jailbroken that I don't need to do this?

Not sure. I'm jailbroken as well and have the latest version installed. To be fair I havn't used it in a while so it could work fine. It might also be that having the original downloaded through installous lets you still use the hacking aspect of it. I thought it had been taken out of the newer updates but I could very well be wrong.

Use it for the purpose intended. They had to change the way the app worked due to people illegally using it to hack into other peoples wireless networks. Now it only works in an official capacity.

I've downloaded the app and bought this weeks Sunday Times.
Download time was a bit slow but once down wow
One of the best apps out there, excellent layout, easy to read. very nicely done. and it's cheaper than buying the paper itself

Only gripe is that they don't include Irish News (or tv channels in the TV guide section)

If they sorted this out I'd buy it every week, but until then the paper version it is

Do you not have to check a box when you open the app saying that your not going to use it illegally and to rape someones broadband that you wouldnt other have any right to use?
