Need help on a few apps

Which is the best for email I use a gmail account? I like HTC Mail but it only shows 8 emails? havong a full page widget would be great
Best music player?

Stick with HTC emails, it sounds like you're looking at the widget, rather than actually in the programme, if you go into the programme then check the settings, there should be options for the inbox to customise how many messages it loads...IIRC mine is set to 14 days?

Music player, if you only need mp3, and have 2.1 or higher is probably Cubed. Worth downloading mp3tagger to fix any dodgy ID3s with this too.
Cubed takes a bit of getting used to, but I much prefer it to the stock HTC desire player and also double twist.
You'll likely find cubed much easier to use once you change it to coverflow rather than cube view mode too.

Right now I'm loving:

Places, Fast Web Installer, and GTasks

Is there any app that will have live flight info from Gatwick airport?

Hit the search button, type in the flight number. Wait a second. Flight info should appear in the suggestions.

If you hit the suggestion it'll take you straight to the mobile flightstats.com website.

Pingchat beta is available (not noticed it mentioned here). The download from the site seems to be dead but a guy is hosting it on XDA

Is there an app like Stacks [if you don't know what I mean, check this out] for android?

I've had a look on the market and there doesn't appear to be anything there. But do any of the launcher apps like launcherpro have this functionality?

Ta!

What alarm is everyone using? I'm using gentle alarm at the moment but it doesn't seem to be doing it's job and the memory game to make sure I'm awake is too short so I can do it while still partially asleep.
