IdrisTheDragon · 05/08/2009 22:09

I like wikitunes

MollieO · 05/08/2009 22:10

Out of those I like Waterslide. I tend to download boring stuff for me like ITN and Telegraph for news, tube maps (no interest to you!), Skype, Google Earth, Tunin.Fm - means you can use your Iphone as a radio, Facebook, Yahoo Messenger.

Forgot I also like Leaf Trombone.

IdrisTheDragon · 05/08/2009 22:10

No, it's called tunewiki

Hassled · 05/08/2009 22:12

OK, asterisks got buggered up because MN doesn't recognise return as a character, but I recommended all the word games (I LIKE word games, okay?)
and Futoshiki & Centipede as well as the others that are asterisked.
