Cheers - now my fave game.

Would be good if you could play against other iphones via bluetooth or something.

Webex is out, haven't looked at it yet but for work this is cool beer.

anybody with a Hotmail account their is a application now for it called mBox mail is £5.99 but is worth it if you don't have any off the other email accounts to sync your emails to the God Phone

I am hooked on Virtual Pool at the moment. Fantastically done.

If you have a Hotmail Live Plus account (I think) you can put the settings into your mail settings and it works.
I'm using hotmail now on my iPhone through the mail applet :p
(if this is old news, please excuse me ;))

The Silent Hill game for the iphone is pretty cool, especially through headphones. Well worth £3.49.

games i have recently got for my ipod touch:

virtual pool - was 59p when i got it - 9/10
slotz - 1.19p - 10/10
mafia live - 1.79p - 9/10
Flick Fishing - 59p - 8/10
flick bowling - 59p - 7/10
Touch Grind - 2.99p - 10/10

all of the above are recommended

just downloaded a handy application for contract users called Mobile allowance (£0.59p) which once you've signed in your O2 user and password gives you a update list of remaining monthly minutes and text messages and lets you know when next allowance starts

Works fine again now, very strange.

or for free text 21202

yeh but this has a cool looking application for the phone :D

TubeDeluxe is now 59p. Bargain.

Anyone know of an alternative train times app?

there is or was a free application called myrail lite not sure if it's still available

It's not. Hence the word 'alternative' in my post!

FastLane is a pretty good racing game.

The ITN news app is quite good, one of the best news apps out there. Free as well.

And for a bit of fun, the Mr T app, Ipity is now free!

None of the news apps make sense to me - why wouldn't you just use a bookmark to Itn or BBC?

I agree, Dave. Bizarre.

Real Football 2009, on the other hand, is the best iPhone game encountered so far.

It's no help to you, I know, but I am so glad I grabbed myrail lite when it was still available. It's still working - it was invaluable a couple of days ago when I needed to be in London for a meeting, and was running late. I thought I had missed the 9:00am train - but myrail showed that it had been delayed by 10 minutes, so I dashed to the platform and just caught it. I wouldn't have bothered without this information and would have had to wait 45 minutes for the next train.

I hope that myrail comes back in some form for those who haven't got it.

found a similar one which is free called irail european rail timetables does similar to Myrail and will give you basic train times info

A few more for you - spent last last day and a half running over a few apps :)

Scratch Plus for the DJ's amongst is us pretty cool. I could imagine using this alongside decks at a club to add an extra dimension.

Just been hooked on Fieldrunners for the last 2 hours! Tower defence clone but great - controls work just fine.

Real Soccer 09 is a pretty good Fifa clone.

iWik - a wikipedia thing

Newsstand - nice looking RSS aggregator with funky reader.

Isn't an rss reader without offline support pointless?

well, there was a good on on the Palm a few years back that supported offline support - thought it was called avantgo. But seeing as I'll mostly get *some* sort of signal on this phone I should imaginge, it's no biggy.

It must be my cold, I don't understand. You could just go to the real website if you have an internet connection.

i have found it quicker/convenient in the past - my N95 was crap for inernet, and the BB ain't much better.

I've just discovered an App for my windows mobile phone called comic book reader. I know this is the iPhone thread, but am enjoying reading sandman/batman on my phone so thought I'd suggest it to those that hadn't considered using their iPhones to do this! Sorry if it's already been mentioned.

Anyway, this appears to be the iPhone app that does the same :)

http://iphonecomicbookreader.com/

just been reading about Apple iPhone Killswitch. Apparently there is a line of code that can use to delete apps from your iPhone. This may affect those of you in the future who are using the MyRail application if they chose to delete it.

If you have a jailbroken phone you can disable this killswitch using an app called Bossprefs, that also does other stuff too.

It's easier on the eye and less hassle. No sodding about turning your phone on the side, stretching the screen in and out to get the right link. If you just want the latest headlines at a glance, it's cool.

You could say the same about the iFooty app. All the info is available elsewhere on the web, but if you just want a snap shot of the latest Palace news, in match text commentary and previous results, it's just easier.

Getting my itouch tommorow! Do most apps cost?

I wish beerintheevening would do an app that tells you the nearest pub and details of it. That would be fab.

can you play music while playing any of these games?

WordJong - totally addictive and can't stop playing it - hours of my life wasted.... :-(

Have I recommended FriendSync yet? syncs your phone contacts with your facebook friends and adds all the pics from their profiles. Their pictures then pop up when they call you - very cool, and at £0.59, a bargain.

SOme do, some don't. A lot of the good ones are free and a lot of the paid ones are not that good. Best bet is to read threads like this one or similar on other forums.

If you just can't wait til tomorrow why not download the latest iTunes now - you can browse the iTunes store and look at the different apps and the reviews on there

Me too. Let's keep in touch and share our experiences.

Have you thought of a name for yours yet?

Mal with an iphone means the iphone has nuked the fridge

it also means that this forum will no longer be a Mal Free Zone.

Now - about the Iraq war.

Right i have jail broken my phone 4 times now and it has failed after varrying ammounts of time now it wont work at all i am getting fed up of having to do full syten restores on it i will give up unless anyone has any good ideas ?

buy an unlocked one.
not sure theyre available in the uk actually? they are here in hongkers if that's any help :lux:

For Jailbroken Phones:

NES, SNES, Megadrive & PSX Emulators are quality. (You'll also need to download a program called OpenSSH).

Adblock - anyone familiar with Firefox will know.

Clippy - allows copy/paste.

Cycorder - records video.

Emoji - Smiley pack for text messages.

Quickgold - Finds anything on your iphone through a search facility, lets you launch apps quicker as well.

SBSettings - Quick access to turn things like bluetooth and wifi on/off.

Status Notifier - Notifications for e-mail, sms, etc in the status bar.

Talk Me - Will read out text messages for you.

My new favourite game is the highly addictive puzzle game BLOCKED.

At 59p it's a steal.

I have worked my way to level 50 - but it's now getting very tough.

The game involves sliding blocks, to release a blue block in the middle. Some of the levels seem impossible at first sight, and it is very satisfying when you discover the solution.

James, off topic on this thread but get Braid on your 360 from Xbox Live. Its only cheap at the moment its a platformer and it has some real cerebal teases. Blocks, sounds good, I'm gonna give it a go.

bought blocked an hour ago, can't put it down. Thanks James best game I've played on it so far, completely recommended here too.

... trouble is, I have nearly finished it. I am on level 96!

Level 100 had me baffled for a while - but I finally cracked it (see attached).

So - what's next iPhone people?

Tiki Towers is a good game for 59p! Can get the lite version for free to try it out.

Bought blocked last night, very good for 59p :p

For those who have installed the full version of Labyrinth (in my view still the best game in the ITunes armoury) - there are a lot more levels available, including a couple I have submitted (designed mainly by my Son).

Start the game, press 'play' and then the + sign (top right). It's the two Mitchell Family Packs that are our contribution.

Obviously any flattering comments on those levels would be greatly appreciated!

Just finished the lite levels so I'll give it a go now

Your son is a masochist.

hey james and others if you like strategy type games you may enjoy enigmo! £1.79 though

Getting stuck on blocked around about level 50 though

I've been stuck on level 6 of the first Mitchell pack for a week now. It's driving me MENTAL

Ok - finished Mitchell Pack v1

On to pack 2

Girlfriend tracker looks interesting!

Flight Control is a brilliant game where you are a flight control agent landing planes.

Also, National Rail have put a timetable up for £5. It's quite steep for an app, but it is very good.

Just on recommendations from here i have bought:
Blocked
Flight Control
Mafia Live

Will try them out and report back.

i have a few apps on my touch that are fantastic

Beatmaker - its £11.99 but it bring hours of entertainment creating your own tracks. its like reason in your pocket
http://www.intua.net/products.html

Technobox - its a and tr 808 and a tb 303 in your pocket

Measures - will convert anything

Wunder raidio - best radio app i can find

as of Tuesday this application will not work any more due to not being able to get approval from National Rail to show train times so look like purchasing the official National Rail application £4.99

Correct. It's a shame. MyRailLite is a very good application.

Total bastards.

£5 is a rip off

Wankers. Myrail was such a good app as well. £5 is just wrong.

I got my Iphone a couple of days after MyRail was taken down, so cannot comment on how good it is/was. However, the National Rail application is very good, and in my opinion is worth £5.

Also, i'll say it again, Flight Control is stupidly addictive even if I am rubbish. Top score of 65 so far.

Just downloaded NetPhoto from the Apps Store. Works really well. It's a shame
the Iphones camera is so poor

What wankers.

Not only do they rip us off with their expensive fares and crap service they won't even let us access timetables for free.

What does the app do ?

I really really really want an iphone. Can someone point me in the direction of the best offer. I am on 02 but not due an upgrade yet. I currently have a dog shit phone as I had mine nicked.

have to agree as a regular commuter this is a essential application for me and works the same as Myrail and the bonus feature on this version is the planned journey times and is worth the £4.99

I use iRail and that's not giving me any error message. Not sure if it was free or I paid for it.

Ralph - How long left on your contract and what's your average monthly bill. I got o2 to upgrade me a couple of months early.

You take a photo. You can add silly bits (voice bubbles, moustaches etc. ) if you want, and then upload from the phone direct to your facebook/myspace etc. Page.

Well for anyone using Southern rail into London this website is great for updates on train time arrivals, which platform and you can click and see the what times the trains called previous stations (so even though it might say it's on time you can see if it called other stations late so is likely to be late again)

I have just bookmarked each station I use

For East Croydon:
http://www.livedepartureboards.co.uk...dep.aspx?T=ECR

Not sure it's as good as the one that's going but it's free so might be a good alternative

Get Pinball Dreams now

It's a remake of the old Amiga classic and it's fab.

I slightly begrudge them the £5 for the national rail app, but it seems good - I wish it had platform numbers though.

Also, Galcon is a very good game, and only 59p.

It shows platform numbers for me!

Nightmare was my favourite table, may be tempted into this :o

£3.50 though :(

Can anyone tell me the best way to play music from my i-phone in my car? I've no docking station, just a pretty standard CD p[layer/radio

That thing that's supposed to tune into a 'free' FM radio station is useless and annoying but I'm assuming there must be a better way?

MyRail Lite is still working. Today may be the last day to use it.

I'm really going to miss this app :( :sob: :sob:
To have to pay £4.99 is just so :sob: for something that used to be free.

Beatbox for me.

Can't wait for Pinball Fantasies - I ruled at Partyland! :D

There's a real book app with 12 real books on with the chord changes in every key. Heaven.

This game is great!! :lux:

Stuck on level 29 now though. Even though I can see what I have to do...It's very frustrating!

Trick seems to be to take a short break and then come back to it. Just got the next few. Seems so obvious when you do get the answer...

Flight control is ace. High score of 42 so far.

Level 64 is beating me up :(

91 for me now.

... and today it's gone! Replaced with a message explaining that the rights have expired.

Level 64 is perhaps the most difficult. If you are really stuck you may cheat. See below:

I was stuck on this level for ages and my gf tried to help me but siad it was impossible so i found this on youtube for her to watch but I refused to watch it - there were times where I was severley tempted, but i cracked it and have bow clocked blocked :D

Has anyone played Enigmo yet? Another strtegy game where you have to get the coloured water into the relvant pots round a sort of obstacle course with liited tools - am liking it

Must resist! Been foxed for about a week so far...

mbox mail - get all your hotmail though to your Jesus phone.
Just great.

9/10

What's different to setting up your hotmail to come through the 'mail' function? Do you get more options?

as mentioned above flight control is brilliant and stupidly addictive.

high score of 56 so far.

105 on flight control now!

flight control is great, at 76 at the moment

I like Sky +
I like the Jesus phone

What happens when you put them together?

Sky + app now available

im now up to 82 on flight control :D

does the sky box have to be connected to the phone line for this to work?
