Glad you reminded me.

Does anyone know of an app that does this for Canadian (specifically Ontario) gas stations? Seems most of hem are for US and overseas.

Anyone playing Rolando? I picked it up today and absolutely love it. Lately i've been considering re-buying a PSP for Loco Roco, but I think this might have saved me the money...

Definitely recommend this game, especially to anyone who enjoyed Loco Roco. :)

Pretty much just two/three apps - the rest I do using Safari

Facebook

NOS Teletekst (Dutchies only)

Google App

Also; from personal experience, when I stopped using WinterBoard my batterylife increased - I was always keen on customizing the icons and wallpapers (nothing else tho) but my batterylife was about 2-3 days of 'normal' use on my 2G 8GB iPhone - now it's something like 4-5 days...

ScummVM :D

Oh and also Palringo :)

Although this is on the Touch, although no real difference.

How do you use ScummVM? As far as I know playing is almost impossible due the lack of a real right click.

Yeah, classics look WAY better than Stanza, but it look like it have a limited internal library and this isn't cool at all.

Specially for a Frenchie like me, reading a full English book would be a nightmare...

    • Rescind the stupid "Show more options" in context menus and just give us the full menu instead of adding more steps to get to what we want. The "simpler by default" makes me think they'll go in the opposite direction. Every context menu should have a configure button so you can pick and choose what options should be shown, I know you can do that with some registry fu but that shouldn't be required.
    • This is why competition must exist. Finally, pressure is mounting on Microsoft to move in the right direction.
    • Microsoft is making Windows 11's context menus faster, simpler, and configurable by Taras Buria Five years ago, Windows 11 introduced redesigned context menus, offering users a simpler, more modern design. However, customers quickly discovered that the new menus leave a lot to be desired. Many are unhappy with performance (they are really slow), while others dislike the double-layed design, where many options are hidden behind the "Show more options" button. In addition, over the years, menus became cluttered and overloaded. While Microsoft has already fixed plenty of pain points across Windows 11, context menus remain mostly unchanged. Fortunately, Microsoft is finally listening. Marcus Ash, Design and Research Lead for Windows at Microsoft, responded to a tweet on X, confirming that the company is working on fixing Windows 11's context menus. Reworked context menus are supposed to be faster, simpler by default, and "configurable to what you use most." What the latter means is unknown, just like whether Microsoft plans to keep the classic menu alongside the modern one, but according to Marcus, the wait should finally be over soon, as he promised to "share our approach soon." Improved context menus will most likely appear first in Windows 11 preview builds in the Experimental Channel. While we wait for Microsoft to release them, you can try fixing context menus on your PC with a simple tool called Windows 11 Context Menu Manager. It lets you disable entries you do not need, not only cleaning up context menus, but also making them significantly faster. Microsoft has already improved Windows 11's Start menu and taskbar, so hopefully it will address user criticism of the context menu as well. Stay tuned for new Windows 11 preview builds, which usually arrive every Friday.
