Davey, Virtual Pool is wicked

I've always liked these types of games and for a phone, the graphics are great and it's easy to just pick up and play and you can stop a game midway through and carry on later. Might even give it a go online when I'm better at it.

I just did a speed test download: 1193kbps / 265 kbps / 390ms so pretty decent, it does work well. You just have to remember to put up with a bit of latency and then it just flies.

The 3G doesn't do desktop wallpapers as far as I can tell

Makes yours look cool Desmo!

You know one thing that would be very cool is if you could connect to a NAS box and just stream video / audio from it - I know it'll never happen, because you have to load it through the ipod app but boy it would be cool to be able to do that!

Or just log into a wifi audio stream that you'd set up at home...

If your iPhone has been Jailbroken (is that even a word?) then apparently there's a version of VLC available whihc should do what you're asking Will

While we're recommending games, have a look at Ragdoll Blaster. It's a physics type game and it's fantastic! I grabbed the lite version yesterday, finished it and have just bought the full version.

Nah it's with O2 and I'm nervous about doing such things - and connect it daily to the computer to synchronise my diary/tasks etc... and don't want it updating and killing it!

You big girl. That said I've not done mine yet but probably will after the next OS release which is apparently due very soon.

You can install TVersity to your PC and stream media from that to your iPhone. The only problem is that if the files you want to stream aren't in a file format that the iPhone natively plays, TVersity will transcode the whole file before streaming it (which makes it virtually useless for streaming films unless you have them in the correct format first). Still worth checking out for music though if your collection is more than your iPhone can store.

But what happens after the next release etc... I thought it ended up ****ing up your phone?

Davey - interesting, I'll have a look thanks.

Mine is set so it doesn't auto sync, that way I don't get screwed with any updates until the next jailbreak is out.

Just installing Ragdoll now Paul, will have a play

Picked up my protection from the post office this morning...Incipio Feather in black. At last, now I can take the kid gloves off

It's less than 1mm thick so makes virtually no difference to the size of the phone and now the screen protector is on, I don't have to worry about scratches either.
