Kroll is a nice graphic demo, nothing more. Not much game there.

Galcon Lite is great, but I've never felt the need to get the full version.

Venger is great, been updated since here and is down to US 0.99. Like a 3D Zaxxon and Zero 5 (Jag version). A bit repetitive, but decent difficulty level. http://au.youtube.com/watch?v=AjnFaFwoT7M

Topple is down to US 0.99 and is getting great reviews around the traps. I'll be grabbing it soon. http://au.youtube.com/watch?v=D0k-PdEUkgA

Blue Skies is down to 0.99 too. Good top down shooter in the Bungling Bay tradition, but less intense, possibly a bit repetitive.

Edit: I'm a bit thick and haven't worked out how to embed these videos yet..

There is a Youtube button on the editor toolbar, just insert the Youtube video id (in this case AjnFaFwoT7M) between the tags it inserts.

And this Wipeoutish racer might be quite nice...

This second video doesn't seem to be available as a game on appstore (yet?)

I'm searching using low grav racer and I get nowt. Searching by the publisher doesn't give joy either. Any idea when it's coming out?
I know nothing about Konix.

I've only heard 'coming soon' for this at the moment. Sorry I wasn't clearer....

Why has MobileMe suddenly wiped all the Contacts and Calendar entries on my iPhone, then? They're still there on my Mac...

Atari Adventure recreated on iPhone: Just search the iTunes App Store for "adventure" to find it. It's free.

No touchcreen iPod? The author also has ports of it here:

Firmware 2.2 went on with no surprises for me. I've finally given up Jailbreaking, now, as there's very little I can't get out of the AppStore, tbh.

One question - did Google start doing Streetview for the UK yet or us it still only available in the States? I can't find anywhere in the UK to look at...

Why have we got two threads ?

I thought I had mentioned about Adventure before...
Now with a new Mac Mini Pro so dont judge me !

I assume you read stuff using 'view new posts'?

You missed that the other thread is in Programming. I know it's caught me out a few times....

In the spirit of the two threads - I will now post this here as just posted it in the wrong thread (for the last time)

I thoroughly recommend MyRail Lite if you use the UK railways more than once a year - finds closest stations and gives up live delay times with a very good interface and to go with this make sure you have Trains too and both free

Yes he can, apparently.

I'm thinking of picking up a second hand, 1st gen, iPhone for the GF for Christmas and wondered if anyone could shed any light on a few queries:

- She's currently on a T-Mobile contract. Posts on avforums suggest an unlocked iPhone works fine on T-Mobile, anyone have anything to add?

- We're now running an ally Macbook at home and I've read that these have issues with unlocked iPhones and iPod Touches. Has this been 'fixed' yet or am I gonna need to run it with my MBP instead of the Macbook?
