Happenstance Posted April 15, 2010 Share Posted April 15, 2010 Another thing I wanted to ask. I use my current iPod more for podcasts than music or videos. Now I was originally planning on getting the 32gb but it would be nice to be able to save some money and get the 8gb, I worry though that it might not be big enough. Any thoughts?

Emasher Posted April 15, 2010 Share Posted April 15, 2010 I'm not at all impressed with Opera Mini. It works at a very similar speed to Safari, and in general safari works much "smoother". No way I'm using it as my primary browser. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Will Posted April 15, 2010 Share Posted April 15, 2010 Another thing I wanted to ask. I use my current iPod more for podcasts than music or videos. Now I was originally planning on getting the 32gb but it would be nice to be able to save some money and get the 8gb, I worry though that it might not be big enough. Any thoughts? I've never even come close to filling the 8gb on my iPhone, I do tend to manage my music and podcasts quite a bit though. My personal favourite apps are: Tweetie Facebook foursquare Stocks Flight Control Epicurious IMDB Angry Birds Orange Wednesdays Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MadDog Posted April 15, 2010 Share Posted April 15, 2010 Doodle Jump is awesome, Rock Band is also. Sky Sports Score Centre is great for checking scores, and football news. Flight Control mentioned above is also worth a buy. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Nintendohnut Posted April 15, 2010 Share Posted April 15, 2010 JELLYCAR! Facebook freaked out on me recently and wouldn't stop sending push notifications even though I turned them off, so I deleted it. Other than that there are several cool free apps out there, I have many games, and a few things I need in day to day life, such as the dictionary.com app, and the shakespeare app (which is incredible if you're studying shakespeare, as it's totally free and has all of his plays in!)

I've been using Ping! mainly as it's free but this WhatsApp thing is soooo much better. I only really used Ping! with my girlfriend anyway so I've gifted her a copy of WhatsApp and it's awesome, no more lost messages. So ta! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Shorty Posted April 17, 2010 Share Posted April 17, 2010 WhatsApp is great, especially if you can convince as many of your iPhone owning contacts as possible to buy it Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
McPhee Posted April 17, 2010 Share Posted April 17, 2010 Plants vs Zombies Scrabble To be honest I've not really found iPhone games to be very good. There's a lot of fuss over stuff like Angry Birds and Doodle Jump but personally I don't really get them, I got bored of both after about half an hour. My most used app is probably Reeder. It's an RSS reader that syncs to Google Reader. Cracking app, best of the RSS ones that I've tried! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Emasher Posted April 17, 2010 Share Posted April 17, 2010 There are a few decent ones. The smaller flash game type ones aren't really worth buying, but there are a few that are worth the price if you go into them knowing that you're not going to get a console experience.

AeroScap Posted April 17, 2010 Share Posted April 17, 2010 WhatsApp is great, especially if you can convince as many of your iPhone owning contacts as possible to buy it At 59p!

SPAMBOT4000 Posted April 18, 2010 Share Posted April 18, 2010 At 59p! I'm laughing at the money saved :P <3 auto search of contacts! Haha yeah me too on both accounts. So far I've gifted it to my dad and brother as well as neither have set up their iTunes account for buying apps. It's in my interest really that they have it I guess.

Shorty Posted April 19, 2010 Share Posted April 19, 2010 I don't really notice a difference between Opera and Safari at all, and Safari has a cleaner interface so I'll stick with that I think. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
flameboy Posted May 6, 2010 Share Posted May 6, 2010 I know 2nd Generation ipod touches won't support multitasking but will they support all the gamecenter stuff? Am considering picking one up on the cheap second hand. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mike Posted May 8, 2010 Share Posted May 8, 2010 EDGE IS BACK ON THE APP STORE! All of those caps' were needed for that statement. Cheers for the recommendation - just bought it and it's pretty fun! Seems like quite a bargain for 59p! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
tapedeck Posted July 9, 2010 Share Posted July 9, 2010 All you FPS lovers get Archetype for the iPhone/pad. It is sublime and is the best FPS on the system. Online gaming is effortless on both 3G and WiFi. It also controls better than any FPS I've played on a mobile. It puts NOVA to shame too. Also boy fix pix is amazing too. Uses motion to solve picture puzzles. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Daft Posted July 11, 2010 Share Posted July 11, 2010 So I thought with the new phone and all I just list the apps I like and look for any recommendations. Pulse News - Really sleek news reader. I've deleted both my Engadget and Kotaku apps and use this instead. Lovely app. GFlow - Just an awesome particle simulator. So much fun. I got it when it was free but I'd definitely plonk down the money for it. It's just awesome. iDaft - lol, no need to explain. The Onion Polarize - Cool little polaroid app. Ones I don't really need to explain; Twitter, Spotify, Air Sharing (I got it way back when it was free), IMDB, Flickr. So anything I'm missing?! Suggestions appreciated. It's a bit weird because I'm coming off having an iPod Touch so I've never been able to use anything that requires a connection or a camera.

McPhee Posted July 11, 2010 Share Posted July 11, 2010 National Rail Urbanspoon RedLaser Tapatalk (there's a free Read Only version to try) MoviesNow DC Comics Marvel Comics Dropbox LandFormer Oddy Smog Can definitely recommend that lot. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Daft Posted July 11, 2010 Share Posted July 11, 2010 What's RedLaser? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
tapedeck Posted July 11, 2010 Share Posted July 11, 2010 Im sure its a barcode scanner that searches for cheaper prices for you. Pretty surprised no one has archetype or eboy fix pix. Both essential gaming experiences IMO. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Daft Posted July 11, 2010 Share Posted July 11, 2010 (edited) Have they changed the name or something? I can't seem to find it on the app store... RedLaser, right? Edit: Never mind me. I couldn't find it on my Touch but it's there on my iPhone. Weird. RedLaser just got bought by ebay. Is it still a decent app? There's a review that says its sold out and a bit crap now. Just one review from what I saw but just wondered what people here though. Edited July 11, 2010 by Daft Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
McPhee Posted July 11, 2010 Share Posted July 11, 2010 (edited) eBay bought RedLaser at the end of June. RedLaser was last updated on the 30th March. It's exactly the same as it was back then. The reviewer is obviously a complete and utter dolt. Edited July 11, 2010 by McPhee Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Daft Posted July 11, 2010 Share Posted July 11, 2010 Awesome. Just making sure. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mike Posted July 12, 2010 Share Posted July 12, 2010 Edit: Never mind me. I couldn't find it on my Touch but it's there on my iPhone. Weird. I assume that's because it uses the camera, so it wouldn't work on a Touch. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
