iPhone application recommendations

Finally, the free good games have arrived. These are basically all classic games given the iPhone sheen.

Tris (Tetris basically)

Break Classic (Where you try and destroy blocks by bouncing a ball off of them, classic atari etc game)

CannonGame / Cannon Challenge (change the angle and power of the shots you fire to destroy a non line-of-sight enemy.

I have that one installed, love it

I was playing with this at the weekend - very cool

did you get this to work via 3G? It works at home via WiFi but as soon as I'm on the 3G or EDGE network it'll just say "buffering" and do nothing

No, I was on my home WiFi, haven't tried it out in the real world yet...

Keep the app recommendations coming

BA Flights has been useful, as i sometimes travel back to the UK using BA, i can easily find my flights and check if they are late.Hopefully they will revise this to allow easy online checkin at some point.

I love a good weather app but there are not many to write home about at the moment. Weatherbug seems to only work in F and not C, hopefully they will update that too.

LastFM is also a clever little tool, works best and cheapest with wifi of course. You need to sign up but it is free and works out what kind of music you like and streams that to you.

couldn't find that one - is it in the Swiss store?

I wonder whether Swisscom is blocking that :-(

sorry, CannonGame , I misspelt it.

Surely this still isn't available at the swiss store?

Do you mean Cannon Challenge? that's the only one I could find

peter

doesn't look like it - probably because of copyright issues.

Tuner doesn't quite do the same but it works well for radio streaming. I used it for a while until Bluewin TV started offering internet radio stations via the STB

peter

funny, it's programmed by Discovery Channel - I like the idea of ad-sponsored free apps

That's the one, comes up as "CannonGame" on the iPhone screen.. Obviously "challenge" wouldn't fit.

I have a uk itunes account. why would the swiss store block it?

If I download an app from the american itunes account or uk one or whatever will it work on a swiss iphone?

I mostly use my UK account and have had no problems with any apps downloaded from the UK itunes store...

Stanza - absolutely brilliant.

I now have a whole library on my iPhone of over 60 books.

Superb!

WhitePages (free) is great for finding telephone numbers, addresses and names in the USA. It also does reverse phone (If you have an unknown number on your phone you can find out who it is and show on maps where they live.
