someones going to sleep through checkin tomorrow...mine sure hasnt worked since last year :}

There's been another alarm clock bug. iPhone users anger turns to alarm

The M134 App. Then you can be as cool as a Chinook Crewman.

Skys of Glory is great.

You mentioned skype - I have it on my HTC and at home. Before Xmas we had 22,000 missed skype calls and a virus. What was that all about and is it safe to use?

AOPA App if you live in USA

Plane Finder is fun; it plots the IFF and identifies aircraft flying all around the world - and it's free!

Have a look around the forums ("forae" for the classicists :8) relevant to your hobbies and interests. There are a large number of specialist and "niche" applications being written and some like this one are really quite good.

These are complimented by and compliment software packages on my iPad and laptop. I got the iPad as it is a much larger screen, let allows me to work all day without recharging batteries. (battery last longer than on my iPhone as I currently use it) I have a Bluetooth keyboard to work with the iPad that allows me to work on documents much more easily by increasing screen real estate and by providing a real keyboard.

A solar recharger for the iPhone is an excellent idea.

OMG lYou are absolutely right! This morning, my wife's did NOT work, although hers has never failed before!!!! (was it my angel trying to send me a message? Sent me here for knowledge of the bug, and I missed it?) BUT, I often set mine the number of hours I want....fex 7:30, hours from now.....so mine went off and saved the day!

See you learn so much in here.. Google alarm clock bug and you might find a fix for yours..... I have not updated my firmware, and so it appears I don't have the glitch at all.......woohoo

Ciao

Yes, they have apologised, explained on their website what happened and how they will attempt to ensure that it never happens again, and then they extyended everyone´s SkypeOut accounts by 7 days as a "thank-you for understanding" gesture. A company that cares to inform their clients of the problem, what they are doing to fix it and takes responsibility....then gives a token to say....sorry. Maybe they should invest in an airline and run it the same way.....

Thanks for the tips so far. Have been clicking and pasting to the Store and checking out the various Apps. Have found several that I look forward to using that I have never heard of before, so a nice interchange of experience!

By the by, here are a couple no one has mentioned that I use all the time-

WhatsApp (uses WiFi for texting)
Camera+
Currencies (updates exchange rates and used for making expense reports when I have lots of country stops.)
Navigon Europe and North America. Never lost in a rental car!
OnTime (For when the boss says-"I need to be in Hong Kong Tuesday morning at 10. What time do we need to leave Kiev?" Takes 3 minutes to give a reasonable answer in local time in Kiev.....fantastic! You need to input your aircraft data, but the fuel flows and times are useful)
Jet Fuelling
Winter 320
Booking.com

Have fun!

Flight Control - unfortunately very addictive.....

Agreed - so what are the best scores aficionados have achieved?

Flight Control - 471 on the original airfield

Another Apple bug? And I thought that the iMMac brigade always crowed about how good their software is alleged to be....

The alarm on my good old Nokia 6310i still works fine, it has almost a week's standby battery life, it has always been reliable and works well with the handsfree car kit.

I know that these iMMac gadgets are addicitve and seem to be aimed at yoof, but I'd sooner have a phone which is a phone, a camera which is a camera, a laptop which is a computer and a GPS which is a GPS. Pretty displays and kiddy games are an irrelevance to many - simplicity of use and good battery life are of much greater importance.

I'm reasonably gadget-savvy, but these iPhone and iPad things are really just pretty toys, to be brutally honest.

There is only one App you need - ANGRY BIRDS

Angry Birds, Flight Control....write-off your whole working week there.

(380 on the original airfield!)

BEagle, I used to think just like you, then it all went wrong, my perfectly serviceable brick was replaced by a Motorola RZR (most georgeous piece of telecomms equipment ever made) then a PDA arrived on the scene. One day while contemplating acquiring a GPS I discovered that I could get a single device that did all 3 so I bought an XDA. Another one followed when the first one died after a respectable lifespan and when that finally went to the great IT Store in the sky I fell for it's looks and elegance and got myself an iPhone - days now fly by as I play Angry Birds or work out that was that just flew over head on Plane Finder - and it certainly beats work :E
Try one BEagle, join us.....join us.....

I bought an iPhone 10 months ago.

It now contains numerous reference tomes and dictionaries, as well as some games, all sorts of Met stuff, maps, Skype, etc, and it's the best bit of techno-kit I have ever had.
