   MultiConvert - unit conversion
   Mocha VNC / RDP - connect to remote PC

   A search for the other topics which asked the same question first would have been cool. But seeing as I'm here:
   Sky+
   Gazette
   Meters
   VNC

   No other apps than those mentioned above but games wise the brilliant Flight Control is still one of the games I play the most, plus GD Swarm and GeoDefense get a lot of toilet/train time.

    WeatherPro is brilliant, TuneIt iCarRadio works really well on Edge, lets me listen to 6Music, Flickr, Mobile Fotos lets you upload pics direct to Flickr, RedLaser is good for scanning book and CD barcodes and getting lots of price choices, Amazon UK, Wikipanion, CoPilot UK, Shazam, Star Walk, PacMan, Space Invaders.
    [edit]iMapMyRide is good for bike training[/edit]

    Shazam - amazing but ultimately useless
    Sky+
    Last.fm
    Connect4 - even the lite version is unbeatable. I am 132-0 down.

    Jamie, is it good then. I use logmein on the laptop but i would have thought that the Iphone was a bit small.

    Whats it cost?

    Posted 2 years ago #

    VNC or RDP (Remote Desktop) do the same thing as logmein and are free.
