What is poynt? It's coming to Android, I think.

Someone remind me, what's that app which scans all your apps and checks for updates? Can't for the life of me remember.

It's called 'aTrackDog'.

'Not Call Log'

Instead of going to the call long when you hang up you can use this to set it to where ever. I have it set to 'Home'. Works perfectly.

Yeh sorry, you just put your postcode in and it will list all local take-away's, restaurants and show their contact details.

Pretty much like 'Yell'? Will see if they have an app in a moment.

There's a few apps like this, Google's places directory is pretty decent and you can add your own categories to it.

Does Market not do this automatically?

Market tracks apps installed via the Market, 3rd party apps and non Market updates to apps (apps that are beta for example often get updated on the dev's website).

aTrackdog finds those updates.

Not working for me, it claims there are updates but just directs me to the market where no update is found

Oh yeah sometimes it does that but after a few more update checks it smiley faces them and all is fine. Has not happened in a while though, only during the first few days.

Market on 2.1 seems to be letting me know when updates are available, however there does appear to be a delay of a few hours at least.

I've just installed Solitaire and forgot how much fun it was racing the timer clock against yourself

9min 50sec to beat it first time round!

GOGOGO! (appbrain link in sig)

I notice you have SMS Unread Count and Gmail unread count. Did you know that SMS Unread count can be configured to do either?

I haven't had the chance to read through the whole of this thread.
Is there an Android app that in effect allows you to "interface with iTunes"?
I've got all that music there - would be nice if there was an easy way to import it etc.

Is the music bought from the iTunes store? If so it wont work on a non apple device.
