Problem with the IM apps are that the iphone doesn't allow background apps. You have to have it actually open/in use for it to work... something apple should allow imho

If you jailbreak your iPhone you can use Backgrounder to force apps to run in the background. Means you can listen to a music app like Pandora or Last.fm and play a game/whatever.

BeeJive and some others work now using Push, it basically tells your phone that an app has an update (new data, message, whatever). So works the same really...Although not for apps that do more than notify..

But its a fiver

and I don't use IM often enough to justify that.

I had beejive back when I had my ipod touch. I am hoping that when I get my 2nd hand iPhone I can install my apps onto it.

I was wondering, if anybody has got the GBA Emulator working yet, it requires doing "somethings" to your phone - but, there seems to be different methods for v3.0 - I've been trying without sucess to FTP and or SSH into my iPhone - no such luck though..

Got some new ones

Mobile Allowance: Allows you to check your O2 balances without having to use a text message or log in to their site.

ToDo: Basically a To Do list generator. You can track single tasks, checklists of tasks, or projects. With a single task or checklist of tasks you can set a date that either the task of checklist is to be completed by. Within a project you can have multiple tasks, all with differing priorities/dates. This is probably my favourite app at the moment.

Flight Control: Highly addictive game.

Harbour Master: Another highly addictive game.

Forgot to mention before, but this now works with the Notification system introduced with OS3.0.

However... it doesn't appear to be on the App Store anymore

Searching for "Tioti" doesn't bring it up, & using a direct iTunes link doesn't work either.

Very odd.

There is now a free official "Sky+" app from BSkyB, although from a quick look at the reviews it doesn't look as good as Tioti (which, when it was on the App Store, was less than 2 quid, so hardly pricey).

Not as such best one, I've got installed

AtomicFart = FREE - Funny more than anything

Liquid Lite - Little one loves this, as it's basically water sloshing around making noises. Pretty relazing.

iHandGun - FREE

IGunLite - FREE

ATM Hunter - FREE - Finds Cash machines in your area or closest to you

ChaseTheDot - Free - does what it says

I contacted Tioti about this. They said that the most recent version of Tioti TV+ contained a bug in the notification system, & so they have temporarily removed it from the App Store while waiting for a newly submitted version to be approved by Apple. So it should be back in a couple of week.

That would be good...but for Â£0.59p its a bit expensive to check a balance when i can use my data allowance to do this for free from o2 website?

iTap RDP - Remote desktop client.
Not much you can't do with this.
Left/right click/double click. Scroll, zoom (pinch), scope (magnifying glass) to exact point to click, all done with gestures.
From 8 to 24bit colour portrait or landscape with adjustable resolution.
Advanced settings for 3G and Wi-Fi.
2nd keyboard with various 'F' functions and Pg Up/Pg Dn etc.

I've tried a few of these but this one's the dog's doo-dah's.
