JAM! (for editing my website on the move - only recently got this, so not sure how much I'll use it).

And that's about it at the moment. Got plenty of others not on the phone at the moment, but they aren't on the phone for a reason.
I think there already was a thread about this, but not sure. It might be just the "post your ipod wallpaper" or some.

Anyways, i sold my iPod Touch 8gb about year ago. I got it for free too, won by coca-cola contest Unfortunately i didnt had any appz (only the 1st gen integrated stuff).
MAC OSX IS THE GREATEST iPOD APP EVER!

Just bumping this thread to ask a few questions, and it saves me opening up a new topic.

So, the iphone battery life, is it really that bad ?, or have i just been unlucky and installed a load of apps that use power like it's going out of fashion ?. I haven't done any 'scientific' type tests or anything, but, i'm having to charge this thing twice a day. Is that normal ?
I have come from a PDA with a hugely chunky extended battery pack, so maybe i've been spoilt, but, this eee-phone thing does seem to need a hell of a lot of juice !. So much so, i've been looking at a couple of cases with an extended battery charger built in. I've been looking at these two http://www.logic3.com/details/?prod=615 and http://www.mobilefun.co.uk/iph ... g-leather-case-p18580.htm Anyone had any experience with these or something similar ?

Secondly, Data usage. Anyone hit the buffer of this "unlimited download/fair use" O2 tariff ?. I'll admit to being a touch paranoid here, but i'm kinda scared of running up a huge data bill, so i've been very very careful about my data consumption (always use my home wifi network when in the house, and i make sure i don't spend hours searching for porn on the web when sitting on the bus...err i mean, checking the LFS forums :shy Yet, my data usage seems to have added a few extra Mb's each time i turn the thing on...Is this normal ?
My guess is, so many of my apps asks "do you want to use your current location" I always say yes. So does that mean it's running off to the worldwideweb of lies to ask where i live every time i open up a programme ?

And thirdly, O2's internet tethering/add-on/nut and bolt thingy - thing. Anyone tried it ? Value for money ? Reasonable download speeds ? Reliable conection ? or a waste of time and a complete rip-off ?

Any help/advice would be good.

Anyway, to continue with the theme of this long forgotten thread, my apps :-

App Box Lite...............(Very very useful set of utilities all in one neat little package, it's free too, which always helps)
CallSaver and 0870......(Avoid paying for those costly 08 premium rate numbers that arn't included in your free minutes)
Google Mobile App.......(Internet search engine that you speak too, tell it what you want, and it simply finds it, works everytime, even if you have a northern accent)
Copilot Live 8..............(No Pink Floyd unfortunately, and it's not quite as polished as Tom Tom or Navigon 7, but, at 26 quid, you can't really grumble (it gets you to where you wanna go, eventually)
Around Me..................(I was surprised by the lack of built-in searchable POI's in google maps, so i installed this, and now i can easily and quickly search for things that i already know are there, (saves having to look out the window i guess))
Active Sonar...............(Learn how to become a bat, only without the wings and furry ears. No, really, go get it, you'll see exactly what i mean )
iSeismo......................(Learn how much of a thud you make walking into walls when your trying to be a bat)

Games; not really found many games that have been able to hold my attention longer than ten mins or so, although Monopoly, Pocket God, Labyrinth 3D and Paper Toss arn't so bad.

This is an amzing little racing game. It looks incredible considering what you're playing it on.
Quote from Mazz4200 :Stuff

I charge my 3G either every night or every other night. I turn off push and automatic email checking, and I also turn off 3G - relying either on Edge or Wifi for my internet connection.

I use it a lot for emails, text messaging, browsing websites, listening to music/podcasts in my car, and games. Games seem to be the big killer of battery life.

I've not hit any data limits or been told that I'm getting close or being unfair.

When I go racing - generally leaving on a Friday afternoon and coming back Sunday night, the phone easily lasts the whole weekend, but I do tend to limit my usage of it. Plus I'm busy racing, working on the car, eating or sleeping, so don't have time to use it much.

Not tried tethering, so can't comment.

iSeismo is great (in a dull, geeky way), and I've try the sonar thingy. Much-o-fun.
Quote from tristancliffe :Blah blah

Just had a courtesy call from O2 to ask how i was doing and if i wanted to buy some concert tickets for Leona Lewis or someone . So i asked about the battery thing and they suggested it needs to go through a fully cycle 2 or 3 times before it settles down and 'gaves all it's strength'. I'll try it and see how it goes. Although i'll admit i'm pretty much smitten by this thing, and i have been using it a hell of a lot, much more than my home PC if truth be told.

I also asked about the "unlimited/fair use" deal, "No sir, nothing to worry about, there's no download limits at all, you just carry on doing whatever it is you're doing. Mind you, if you do download too much stuff, we'll charge you huge amounts of money, then cut you off" (sort of) What they actually said was, before it reaches that stage they'll send a text and maybe even give you a call just to tell you to ease off a bit. So perhaps there's nothing to worry about.

I'm all for the useless but highly geeky apps. I'm a bit of a map and navigation buff and Motion X GPS Lte delivers in spades. I'm not entirely sure what it is/what it does/how to work it, but it's ace nonetheless. Also SOS Torch is cool if you wanna a) blind yourself. b) give yourself a headache. c) irritate the crap out of the nextdoor neighbours dog.
