iPhone apps S/D

is there an app that makes the phone functionality any less shit?!

i mean like saving numbers etc is such a fucking joke, you can't just click "save" when someone texts you and you don't have their number.

lol i know whose text you're referring to

what's hard about "add to contacts" btw dude

you can't do it in a text tho can you? like "use number"...you can't even add people who've called you, or am I being thick? you have to actually write the number down or some shit!

Just press "Add to contacts" then "create new contact"

garda, you are missing something. all this functionality is there.

when some calls you and you want to add their number, in the recents tab of the phone app, click the arrow on the right, then add to contacts -> existing contact or new contact.

ah okay I see that now...lol how do I shot iphone

now to reiterate: byline is better than NNW by virtue of it actually working consistently.

How else does it compare, though?
It's a fair bit faster at downloading and syncing, the UI is a bit better once you wrap your head around it, er, it's pretty. It's a bit like Twitterific vs Tweetie -- they do the same shit, the only real difference is feeling.

Boxhead: The Zombie Wars comes to iphone in 3days:22hours:46mins
and you can play the flash version before it comes to the iphone.

I want to like Tweetie 2, but it still doesn't beat twitterific pro for me. I like the ability to mark tweets (not favorite).

what's up with Things not letting me create repeating to-do events?

dyao, that's coming in the next update

haha good. paying $10 for it sure makes you feel entitled to bitch

byline sorta seems like it sucks in that you have to sign up for a google reader account and then administer all your settings and subscriptions through google.

why i luv instapaper: "read later" bookmark which converts any webpage into an offline, text-only version. it will do this for RSS feeds too. LUV.

I could see how that would be a drag, but I already used GR extensively on my desktops, so having them in sync is fantastic.

I'm still playing Peggle. It may have the most replay value of any iPhone game.

yeah byline is useful if you already use google reader; if you dont i dont know why youd buy it

anyone in this bitch using Evernote?

tried it, can't say it blew me away. the photo/location function is cool i guess.

yeah byline is useful if you already use google reader; if you dont i dont know why youd buy it

Er ... because Newsgator have turned off their free feed? And the new version of NNW (unless I'm missing something) only syncs with Google Reader too?

ok?

whats going on????????

Bought Instapaper and love it. Excellent for subway reading without an internet connection, it keeps me from distracting myself and reading the articles at work instead, and it's really good at its job - especially considering the iphone's bookmarking is so crappy and rudimentary. I don't know how it manages to parse out sidebar content and keep it away from the main article. Definitely try out the free version, and if you like it, buy the full version.

I tried Evernote and wasn't too impressed by it; I'd prefer a straight up to-do list. I may try Things very soon.

i basicallyt 100%ed it :/

I've beat all the challenges and the adventure mode. Going through and 100%'ing all the levels now. I'll do it, just a matter of time. Some are so annoying. There needs to be a sequel. C'mon Pop Crack, make it.

i actually didnt 100 every level... but i may one day :(

I'm addicted to iBlast Moki. Fun stuff.

anyone try Rock Band yet?

I'm not a big fan of the rhythm games on the iPhone. It's one of the areas that I think suffer from the lack of haptic feedback. I also don't like the games that you have a little joystick on the screen. My fat thumbs cover up too much of the screen.

iPhone games I have been addicted to at one point or another:

Aurora Feint
Blocked
Defender Chronicles - Legend of the Desert King
Elemental Monster TD
Field Runners
Flight Control
Geo Defense
Geo Defense Swarm
Harbor Master
I Dig It
Motion X Poker
Motion X Poker Quest
Paper Toss
Paper Toss World Tour
Peggle
Sentinel Mars Defense
Star Defense
Tap Defense
The Treasures of Montezuma

This is pretty good for the UK

Totally my favourite iPhone game ever.

Big Two is a fun card game

Totally my favourite iPhone game ever.

Pity it spams your Twitter feed, though.

*stares meaningfully*

Hahahahahaha, you have to choose to Tweet your score, which I didn't realise initially - the way I play mean that I was tapping right where that button arrives and so spammed myself unwittingly a few times at the start. Now I only Tweet good scores!

*races to sign up for twitter*

i would like to download ILX on iPHONE why because it look intersting
Zing Touch: ILX now ON IPHONE (and ipod tooches too)

woooooo

this is why i bought an iphone

that is awesome

8 bucks!?!?

kidding

If anyone didn't know, there's an updated html parser for Instapaper that's well worth activating (I think you have to do it in your account settings- at least you did when it started).

On a side note, does anyone know if it's possible to unlock a phone without jailbreaking? I've unlocked and jailbroken my 2G, and I'd like to unlock my 3GS but am a little scared, and don't have a need to jailbreak.

holy shit this rules stet!

so i caved and bought the baby cry translator. so far ive gotten 'bored' and 'sleepy' which i could have guessed. im waiting for angry since every time he cries i run over to get my iphone instead of actually comforting him.

so did anyone get rick rolled on their iphone?

anyone else having trouble organizing songs on playlists on the iphone?

i have a "recently-added" smart playlist thats organized by date added in my itunes--but on my iphone its organized by something bizarre. play count maybe?

HMM. i have the same type of playlist synced up and the iphone displays it by date added.
