    Fantastic find. I just got it too and love to change of font sizes.

    EDIT: does it seem a wee bit slow loading a page? And I'm in wifi.

    Skype running in the background is supposed to be pretty rough on the battery alright. I wouldn't necessarily worry about Twitter or Facebook though.

    I took Skype off mine and the battery stopped draining away thank god:)

    heard on radio today about an app that lets you hear baby heartbeat while still in womb but cant track it down??? herself is 5 days overdue so is getting agitated:D

    Sounds fantastic I know but beware. Those things rarely demonstrate any real accuracy and cause more stress than anything if they're inaccurate or not working properly. Make sure she knows it's only a bit of fun and don't bother with it if she's already stressed out.

    Has anyone used the app Cloud Browser?

    According to the blurb it let's you use flash and java based web applications, even let's you stream video.

    The problem is that it's $5.99 a month to use if you're outside the US or Canada.Anyone with a VPN care to test it?

    Can anyone tell me does the webtexter app work for the Iphone 4 on vodafone? Does the webtext app store sent text message via the app in the iphone as sent messages?

    Also, is there still an app where you can pay something like €7 a month to watch all the sky sports channels on the iphone. If so, whats the quality like over 3g and wifi, like a crappy stream or extremely consistent.

    Thanks

    Jesus! I know a bit about RF and SAR (specific absorption rates) in medical and mobile phone applications. (I happen to be doing some research on wireless transmissions from implants). While I am not one of the "all masts are evil" brigade, I do know that if there is any danger it's from THE HANDSET blasting away at your lug, particularly if you are far away from a mast. The jury is still out on the effect on kids' heads - I'd be a bit cautious myself and try to get them to at least move away from the thing now and then - let some of the heat dissipate.
    But to deliberately stick one close to a baby? And to a baby still in the womb?
    How mad do you have to be?

    AFAIK, yeah it's possible.

    It's also possible, through jailbreaking, to force the tv out from your iphone, connect to your tv, and watch said Sky on your big screen.

    I didn't tell you that second bit though!;)

    Yes, you are right - and it does mention this option on the guy's website for anyone worried about affecting implants such as defibrillators or pacemakers. Trouble is - who reads the fine print? Even when on flights when people are specifically told to turn off their phones - many just assume that means "don't use" the phone and you can hear the phones all chirping away re-establishing contact when the planes comes down into phone cell range as they are landing.
    I have emailed him and asked him to specifically warn about this.

    Yeah it's not fast but I guess as an app as distinct from the iOS it quick enough. Great for pics with a big difference in light. I'll post a normal and a HDR pic of the same shot in the pics thread in a few mins.

    I think I used that, reason I like myfitnesspal the best is because it works offline via a database of foods, most of them have some sort of website database (myfitnesspal has access to a online database with even more foods, but so far the offline has had everything, inc brand names etc)


    any suggestions for a good ipod touch app?
    haven't updated apps in 3 months
