Anyone used this? Something I won't mind paying for if it's half decent.

EDIT: Just realised it's a load of separate components, so to get it all is about £10. Screw that.

Beneath A Steel Sky: Remastered is 59p today.

Power Pros Touch ($3.99 -> $0.99)

Last time I checked this wasn't on the UK store for some reason.

I remember reading a while back that it was 144. Not including apple's default apps on the home screen ? You can download technically loads more (unlimited ?) to iTunes, but can only sync that much. Are you manually select the ones you want to sync, when your ipod is connected, by ticking which ones..?

I think the 144 is the max no. of apps you can display on the homescreen (16x9 page limit). If you install above this new apps are installed but they cannot all be displayed so you have to search for the app you want by name on the search page.

To get around this you'd need to jailbreak and use something like Categories to organise your apps, or just install an add-on to allow 5 rows/columns to increase the number you see on your existing screens.

I use 5 column springboard, which allows 20 icons to be shown on each page rather than 16. Somehow I have also now got 12 pages of apps rather than the max 9 which means I could display upto 240 apps (currently about 200 not including hidden apps).

On Jailbroken phone you can also use Stacks (to add shortcuts to the dock) and Orbit (displays all pages of apps) to manage/navigate when finding your apps.

Beneath A Steel Sky: Remastered is 59p today.

Purchased this almost because of the sale price! Hope it's good!

Is All Four-Alive or whatever it's called any good?

Anyone after a challenge should try that squareball platformer-ish game, hardcore difficult!

Cabby is a nice little thruster meets crazy taxi app. Priced right at 59p as well

I downloaded the demo of Critter Crunch (Because the PS3 version is so great) and I'm not enamoured by the control at all, it just didn't seem accurate enough to me when the going gets tough.

Maybe I should think of more measured games for the iPhone, but I assumed puzzlers would be the perfect fit. :/

Anyone ever tried "GeoCaching"?

Seems really interesting!

[Brats]

Shhhhh! You're not meant to talk about it.

->Open Spoiler<-

I've been doing it for a while. Great fun, especially if you combine it with a walk through some beautiful countryside.

Are there actually "items" inside the "caches" then? I'm near enough walking past one tomorrow anyway!

I just bought "Beneath A Steel Sky" for 59p!!

Have a look. It's quite exciting, in its own little secret way .

It's not an official app but anyone able to access it via cydia/rock get Osu! If you like music rhythm games.

It's essentially Ouendan on the Ipod touch/Iphone! You download songs created by other users I've downloaded super mario bros theme, black eyed peas - I gotta feeling, daft punk - harder better faster stronger etc I love it! Oh how I've missed you Ouendan!
