So I just got an iPhone 3gs...

Angry Birds

This.

That cost's money

Question. How do I make it so that my Mail icon has a notification on it like facebook when I receive something new? I'm using gmail.

Nevermind, it's doing it. Now I just gotta figure out how to make it check more often.

Nevermind, figured out how to do that too

I believe there is a Lite version that is still worth checking out

It's $1.19

Best $1.19 you ever spent

Seriously no one has posted Lux? or RType? or Prince of Persia Retro/Classic (whatever it is called)?

Lol.. Or get the Lite version to try it out before you purchase it..

[jambo]

Dude, it's $1.19. That's spare change! I really don't understand people who don't lash out on $1 iPhone apps.

[Onyx]

I know, but first it's 1 app, then its 5, then it's 50. I really won't be spending money on ANY apps unless it's properly useful.

[jambo]

So 50 apps will be about $50-$60? That's still not really that much. Especially if it's spread out over months and months.

Do you know how much hungry jacks you can get for that?

The equivalent of about two family sufficient meals?

Or about 5-6 singular meals (results may vary depending on meal type etc.)

I'm really enjoying Plants V Zombies. It's fun as all hell. Flight Control is pretty good fun too

I've just listed all my apps in the tech chat thread Shinny linked earlier.

Rofl.

In all seriousness, buy Plants vs. Zombies.

Everyone else seems to be listing mostly games, so I'll list useful apps - all of which are free, except for iSSH:

• Planets is a brilliant app and shows rising and setting times for your location for the planets and the moon, has a 3D view of the sky in visible, X-ray, hydrogen-α, infrared etc and has a 3D globe of each planet. And it's free!
• iSSH is great if you use SSH. It supports VNC too.
• MSN Messenger is... well, duh.
• Logitech TouchMouse lets you use the phone as a mouse to control a PC over the wireless network. Great for media centre PCs and presentations. You need to install a very lightweight server program on the machines you want to use it with.
• USB Disk lets you use the phone as a flash drive and lets you view certain kinds of files on the phone. It was free when I got it but they might be charging for it now.
• Remote Lite is a Remote Desktop client. You need the Professional edition of Windows (or Ultimate). You did get Windows 7 Pro, didn't you?
• Convert Units is a useful app for converting units, eg. area, volume, power, distance etc.
• Consume for checking usage for your ADSL, mobile data and calls, cable, home phone, wireless broadband etc.
• iPeng is great if you have a Logitech Squeezebox. It's a remote control and works similar to the Apple Remote afaik.
• eBay lets you keep an eye on your bids/auctions and is useful because it supports push notifications.
• xe.com currency is useful for checking the exchange rate.
• Pocket Weather AU Lite is free and is more accurate than the built-in weather app.

BTW if anyone could give me any hints to finishing the last level of PvZ that would be ossim... I've tried it twice and have been too lazy to try again for months

[Rega]

Onyx, Just get a $40 iTunes card and use for a couple of months..? Target had a special (Not sure if it's still on) going and you could get two $50 iTunes cards for like $70 or something like that..

Check out for deals like those.. They are the best

Sure, when the boss throws a fireball, sop it by using ice in the same row. But if the boss uses ice, stop it by using fire. The end
