[psp83]

Its actually in the app store now



Its a little slow at loading the app but pages are quicker at loading.

[Rik]

Better start charging that battery, Paul.

[psp83]

Hehe,

Its in the dock already 

[Rik]

How do you grab the screenshot, aamoi?

[psp83]

You have to press the power button at the top and home key on the front at the same time, then open the device with windows explorer and navigate to the folder "iPhone\Internal Storage\DCIM\100APPLE" folder location might be different on other models thou

[Rik]

Thanks, Paul, just curious. Presumably it will only ever store a single image?

[psp83]

No, you can take as many as you want, currently I have about 6 on my phone from other sites I'm doing.

[Rik]

Thanks.

Android on the iPhone http://www.theregister.co.uk/2010/04/22/android_iphone/

I been experimenting with several iPhone/iPad apps recently. The first one of note is Instapaper more details @ http://www.instapaper.com/ and app details @ http://www.instapaper.com/iphone You install the read later bookmarklet in your browser preferably in the bookmarks tool bar and when you come across a webpage that you want to view at another time just click 'read later'.

The app and basic service is free, you can pay a small fee for extra functionality and storage space if you wish. This saved data is then viewable by loading up the app on the iPad or iPhone or if you've not got either just log into your account on the website. I 'Read Later' about 5 sports web pages this am and looked at them later this afternoon when I had time. These saved articles are also still available to view offline on the iPhone/iPad and iPod Touch

The Atomic web browser is another alternative to mobile Safari on the iPad/phone/touch I've been using it recently obviously the tabs are a big plus for me.

The BBC News app is out for the iPhone and iPad

[Rik]

The BBC have come out? 

[Simon]

I think there a similar one for other platforms.  As far as I can see, it's nothing more that a glorified bookmark, but I haven't actually tried it.

[Steve]

Here's a good one Dragon dictate is out!

It's free,should make emails easier possibly?

[Rik]

On the desktop, Dragon could never understand me.

[Glenn]

Was you wearing a flame proof suit?

[Rik]

Doesn't everyone? 

[Steve]

To be honest having had a quick trial it wasn't too bad ,I suppose being free always helps. I can imagine twits would find it useful

[Rik]

Plenty of them about... 

[Glenn]

Over 106m of them.

[Rik]

Wow, I'm surprised so many have 'come out'.
