    Phone, an Orange San Francisco. She loves it, she had been using the beta up till then, which ran out, meaning it no longer predicts words and made it pretty useless, so they kinda forced her into buying it. It's a steal at 10c

    10 cents?? Where is it going for that price??

    Android are doing a promo of premium apps for 10c as a result of reaching 10 billion apps downloaded. Its a new set of apps each day, swiftkeyx was on offer on Tuesday (i think)

    For anyone using swiftkey x.

    I just used it for the first time and seems really great and quicker for texting and emailing etc...

    but I am a little concerned that when used with emails, SMS and the browser etc... that data might be collected such as passwords and usernames and credit card/banking information.

    Am I completely off the wall or do you think there are security issues there

    Does anyone know of a good app / widget that allows the configuration of the button on wired headphones.

    It annoys me when playing music on my Nexus that I can only pause / play a song.

    Would love to be able to skip to next (previous) song, change volume settings etc....

    Which music player you using? Which headphones you using? I use Google Music app on the Galaxy Nexus with stock Apple headphones and skip forward always worked but volume up and down never did :-( Thinking about getting Beats inear for Xmas but will probanly be the same....

    A must-have: OsmAnd

    It's on-line and off-line navigation, the best I've ever seen. Based on OSM maps, with tons of options.

    There are free and donate versions available.

    http://osmand.net/

    "Donate" version is called OsmAnd+ - it's well worth to pay 3 euro, but I'd suggest to test the free one first.

    Better than Google Maps? And is it useful/up to date in Ireland?

    IMHO better, but the quality of the map depends on the area - you can check it on openstreetmap.org as it is the same map. You can also fix the map if you found an error which is not an option on google maps.

    As in the beats by dr.dre yokes? They're some of the worst head/ear phones on the market at the minute.

    I got a pair of iBeats free with my HTC Sensation XE and I think that they are absolutely brilliant. Mind you, you would see me spending a couple of hundred euros on the like of Beats Studio headphones. They are extremely over priced but that makes them somewhat exclusive I suppose and some people are obviously attracted to that.

    For the record, I borrowed my sisters Samsung earphones (from her Galaxy S) and they were utter garbage. I could hardly hear anything with them. Worst earphones ever!

    Can't believe the Samsung ones don't have skip forward!

    Does anyone know if an app exists so that when I'm using an android tablet I can use my android phone as a blutooth keyboard and/or mouse/touch pad.

    I would find this really handy when my tablet thts connected to the TV could be controlled from my phone

    Great. SwiftKey X is back at .10c although it's not listed as one of today's deals. Thought that I'd missed out on it a few days ago.
