One comment it doesnt listen for that long, so you have to talk quite fast.

I'm looking for an Email app that allows me to create message rules (ie for spam) so if the email contains a specific word it will be deleted..

Any suggestions ?

Thanks

Anyone know if Tetromino has been pulled for copyright infringement? I had the game before sending it off for repair, but can't find it in the market anymore.

I think all the Tetris style games got pulled earlier this year.

The Tetris Company
...In May 2010 TTC's legal counsel sent cease and desist letters to Google insisting that 35 Tetris-clones be removed from the Android Market.

I've been having issues with the Market as well, just sits on 'Starting Download' with a scrolly progress bar that makes no progress. HTC Hero with official 2.1

New version of Launcher Pro has a message widget now, pretty nice.

I like that it has it, but I still prefer Chomp. I'd not checked for updates to my apps for a week. Today I check and 40% of them have been updated since then!

Any alternative launchers to launcherpro ? Horrendous battery life is starting to grate and touch wiz is too iphone wannabe

Have a look at GDE... its free and has some cool features such as running your homescreens in a Cube effect, been running it for a week now with No problems at all

I changed to it from Launcher Pro...

Son: It's a house
Cat: It's a house
Son: It's papa house. Not yours.
Cat: It's papa house. Not yours
Son: "giggles"
Cat "giggles"
Son: Mama, the caaaaat.....
Cat: Mama, The caaaaat....

I use PingChat!

Push notifications, and can use either a mobile number or username for contacts.

Rather like the Blackberry chat.

It also works between devices. (I.E. iPhone to Android)
