Im on the phone to the Apple store now, Virgin mobile have told me to take it back, bugger, it will have to wait till Saturday now. I have turned the phone off as it is draining too much.

I also noticed that it gets red hot if I am on it too long as in games/chatting.

Well then before you take it back, back it up in your itunes, then when you get your new handset restore it from the back up and you won't lose a single thing, photos, apps, music, nothing! Annoying yes, but in the long run you've got a dodgy one but it'll soon be sorted, and when it is, the battery life is just fab on them in comparison to my old iphone!

Doodle Grub - not the coolest but so addictive!

The coolest is RedLaser - a barcode scanner which lets you know the price of pretty much any scanned item and where you can buy it from! Useful if you are out shopping and want to know if you can buy the product cheaper elsewhere before purchasing.

I'm on cloud 9 here guys! Don't have an iphone but really want one, just can't seem to justify having one as don't use my current phone much. However I do faff about with the ipod touch and have downloaded the tunein radio app and I am now listening to Real Radio!! If you could see me now, I'm clapping like a seal! Talk about chuffed to bits! Had to use the adtelly browser before just to listen online but this app is amazing!

So, Thanks Jen for suggesting this one

I am so getting me an iphone now lol

A word about the TuneIn Radio app ... I was hoping it would stream Radio 5 Live/Test Match Special commentary bypassing the region restrictions, it doesn't.

It's a great thing though, recommended respite from the local offerings.

I think it all synced last night.

I am going to download that viber and Tunein one when I get my new one. The diet tracker one is excellent so I will get that. Will I have to re-start on my Angry Birds? Mind you I am stuck on one level and cant get beyond it and my Touch Zoo as well, I have bought so many animals - will I need to start again? I have my appointment at 5.50 tonight.

I laughed at the one he did in Australia (Northern WA I think). He was showing how you could set up camp for the night. He said "I won't be staying here tonight but this is how you would do it"!

WhatApp is good for free texting - it uses the wifi on your phone/ipod and is available for both Apple and Android.

I too have the Kindle one on my Android. have downloaded the girl with the dragon tattoo!!

Oh and of course I have the Next app too!!
Haven't read all the posts, so it might have been mentioned already, but for stars on Android I think my OH has skymap or something like that a google stars map, it turns and shows you which stars you should see as you rotate or point your phone in different directions! :-)
