byline - 2way syncing with your google reader account. after mail, my second most used iphone app. ive tried netnewswire and other rss-readers but as a google reader-user, there is nothing that can beat byline.

tweetie - awesome. there are good free alternatives but for me there is nothing better.

beejive IM 3.0 - a very nice IM with push. worth the money, imho.

instapaper free - the online bookmarking tool for the iphone. there is a 7,99€-version, too but i am good with the free one

camera bag - nice filters for the photos taken. really love it.

games:

seek'n'spell - this is gps-powered real world scrabble. huh? google it! awesome with friends. really.

kingdoms live - you could replace that with imafia, imob, rockstars live or whatever, like a browser game but nice and addictive. it somehow has push now, at least the last time i installed legend points it asked me if it could send me notifications, i havent got any yet, though.

steppin - a nice, casual stepping-game. like in school, with chalk and all. quite challanging.

flight control - addictive. nothing more to say. awesome app.

i must add that i dont really like "real" games on my iphone. i have tried a few, heroes of sparta, which is only 79cents now, asassins creed and brothers in arms and all and while they are all awesome, i find myself installing them, checking em out once or twice and then never open them again. i prefare casual timekillers.

except for one game:

the effin BEST iphone game in the world, seriously:

ENVIRO-BEAR! the first and only bear-driving-a-car-simulation.

its almost not to control but that is okay, mind you! bears dont know how to drive either. :p

those are the iphone apps i would buy/install everytime again. add facebook, which is nice and does the job and mobile butler, an app to track your minutes or messages left on your t-mobile contract, which offers the iphone in germany.

The kingdom games, etc push notifications arent notifications as such, they just popup a red notifier with how many new events over the app icon when you are net connected.

Say you were attacked twice out of client, in your springboard a 2 should be imposed over the apps icon

The new update to NewsStand now sync's with Google Reader which makes this IMO the best RSS reader.

about time someone else got the idea that syncing with google reader is a killer feature.

i bought byline a while back and am statisfied but thats nice to hear.

The thing I like most about byline is the offline storing of messages, which I use on my iPod Touch. The Twitter feature of Newsstand is nice though.

see, i didnt even use newsstand long enough to realize it didnt have offline storing which i use alot on my iphone with byline since i work at a hospital and i put my phone in airplane mode. i then read the news offline.

i didnt use it though because it was too slow for my taste and there wasnt actually anything with byline that really bugged me so much that i felt the need to switch.

looks nice, but $4...

if you made it $1 you would see a LOT more sales.

i would rather have all my news sites bookmarked in safari (as i do) then pay $4 then have to use the app constantly until it knows what i want to read.

you could also make a free version with ads in it, then people could try it without opening up installous and grabbing the full version.

Agreed, I'd buy it for 99 cents. 4 dollars is way too much.

    • If you can't spell a simple word that 2nd graders learn, your entire argument is suspect.
    • And here goes the "Won't someone think of the children" brigade. Get stuffed mate. This has NOTHING to do with making the internet safe. It's about tracking adults, spying on your online activity, and sending the boys around when they don't like something you post. Also, again, parliament have voted TWICE against this, and Starmer is going ahead anyway. THAT is anti-democratic bullsh**. They will use this law to track you, they will use this law to control you, and they will use this law to punish you if they don't like what you do, even if it's legal. And your data? Say bye bye to that. It'll be on the darkweb in weeks. I'm not some rando online. I've been an IT professional for 40 years, many of it in security. I know exactly what this means and what will happen to your data. I do not consent and I will not comply.
    • "...but it may not be Microsoft's fault" seems like a reasonable way to tease what is going on without leaving the user with a false impression that an update is the problem. A title isn't a summery, it is meant to entice the user to read the article. It should not contain a misleading premise; which this title does not. You could maybe complain that the first paragraph should have included that detail. The writing style popularized over 100 years ago in newspapers will cover the most important information as soon as possible with details and nuance added later; the idea being that with each new paragraph you have less of the reader's focus.
    • Samsung Galaxy XR arrives in the UK with new AI and enterprise features by Fiza Ali Samsung is bringing its Galaxy XR headset to the UK several months after the device made its debut as the first headset built on Google's Android XR platform. The headset was first teased in late 2024 alongside Google's introduction of Android XR before making its commercial debut in 2025. Developed in collaboration with Google and Qualcomm, Galaxy XR combines mixed reality experiences with Gemini-powered AI features, allowing users to interact with digital content using voice, gestures, and visual inputs. While the hardware itself remains largely unchanged from the version Samsung unveiled last year, the company is using the UK launch to spotlight several software enhancements that have arrived through recent updates. Among the most notable additions is deeper integration with Google's ecosystem. Galaxy XR users can explore destinations through Google Maps' Immersive View, receiving AI-powered recommendations and contextual information from Gemini while navigating virtual environments. Furthermore, entertainment experiences have also expanded; users can watch 180-degree and 360-degree videos on YouTube, browse spatial content converted into 3D, and ask Gemini questions about on-screen content without interrupting playback. Samsung is also highlighting mixed-reality features such as Circle to Search, which allows users to identify real-world objects through hand gestures while using the headset's video pass-through mode. Another feature automatically converts photos and videos into spatial 3D experiences. Moreover, the headset now also supports Android Enterprise, allowing organisations to manage deployments using existing Android management tools. Annika Bizon, Vice President, Product and Marketing, Mobile Experience, Samsung UK & Ireland, talked about the device, stating: The headset is powered by Qualcomm's Snapdragon XR2+ Gen 2 platform and features dual 4K Micro-OLED displays. The tech giant says that users can expect up to 2.5 hours of battery life. Samsung also confirmed that Galaxy XR will continue receiving software and security updates as the company works alongside Google and Qualcomm to expand the Android XR ecosystem. Galaxy XR is now available for pre-order and will go on sale on 8 July. Customers interested in trying the headset before launch can visit Samsung KX in London and selected Samsung Experience Stores from 17 June. Finally, the company will also host a livestream on 19 June showcasing the headset's capabilities and answering questions from prospective customers.
