And you been able to stop playing it yet, bruffin???

I've completed it, but mind myself going back to top my high scores.

No work interferes with my "angry bird" time Grin
It works a bit slower on my wildfire than it does on ipod. DS likes to rub that fact in. He also has the halloween versionEnvy

If you like Angry Birds then this game will waste you a lot of time as well Grin

OOh, I now have angry birds, they have finished the version compatible with older android (have a wildfire)

Alchemy is my favourite atm, my other essentials are
Alarm Clock (works better than the built in one, as long as you take it off the taskkiller app)
Note me,
world news,
guardian app (which downloads the paper automatically at 5am while I am sleeping so I can read it offline during the day),
cardiotracker (records distance, speed, time etc of runs)
c:geo for geocaching,
classic simon, Traffic jam, mancala, grid droid and word up for timewasting.

My problem is my phoen keeps running out of space and I can't figure out why. I have a sd card but it won;t save things to thatHmmConfused

Ilythia, you can't save apps and stuff to the SD card until android 2.2, which we don't have for the wildfire yet. If you have music and photos on your phone make sure that's all on the SD card to keep as much space as possible free.

Ilythia · 14/11/2010 12:30

thanks lily, will do. I didn't realise the update will let me put my apps on the sd card though, I might need to buy anotherGrin

I had to sacrifice my kindle books for angry birds. This better be worth it.

I also forgot the only app I have ever paid for, menstrual calendar. It's brilliant, records moods/spotting/cramps and predicts ovulation and period almost to the day (which I am awful for as have a weird cycle)
Also helps with temper to be able to look at phone and see that I am likely to be a stroppy cow that day so I cna prepare for it...

Has anyone figured out how to get DRM protected iTunes tracks to play? I have tried DoubleTwist etc and nothing doing.

I'll try starting a new thread tomorrow too.
