Hmm when I got to add accounts all I get is Google and a tick next to it, click next and then it asks if I have a google account or if I would like to create one? I want to add my onw domain email account and hotmail?

Just use the mail app, it comes with the phone and allows you to add whatever you want.l

it works on 2.1 roms, bar the elastic scrolling doesnt work.

2.1 would be lovely but unfortunately I'm on Orange and they're ****.

Good thing is for Hero users is that MCR 4.0 for Hero is nearly done which is 2.1

Networks providers will be an age getting it out tbh.

On the facebook settings you can choose which events trigger emails. I have mine set so I only get emails for wall posts and comments as i was fed up of all the facebook spam in my inbox

lol dam it, I'm going to have to go and try it now aren't I... Already have all my facebook emails going to a dedicated address.

I had a message come up earlier saying about the weather widgets had been removed from the android market due to HTC infringement or something :eek:

I know it looks very similar to the sense widget, so guess that's why :confused:

It does have similarity with the HTC one.

From the authors site:

Application has been unpublished from the Android Market until an issue regarding HTC and intellectual property has been resolved.

You can get the latest beta from here:

Does the official facebook app not notify for wallposts etc? seems like I never get notifications from the thing!

Without reading replies....

Setup a gmail account, link ya phone to it and get emails when you get wallposts etc..,?

Big Brother is watching you....

Plot of my trip to the bank at lunch! Google Latitude, you have officially (slightly) scared me!

Right chaps... I need some advice.

I need a video player that can do 2 things:

1 - Save progress in a video (like mixing does)
2 - Delete videos from within the application (or tag watched videos)

Cheers.

Wouldn't it be amazing if Phun got ported to Android?

Have you had a look at Flingbox or Physics Playground?

Tried flingbox and it's ok, not sure about the other one as I'm not paying for it

Space Physics is good for a bit of gaming too.

I really like the look of Space Physics and Flingbox looks interesting also, not sure about Physics Playground however, it seems to have poor graphics. Will give the other two a try tomorrow.

Don't worry but we were watching you too.

Been having a good look through the market and found a few interesting programs:

PreHome is a nice little idea, changes it so that your home button brings up a dialog with running apps in. Not my cup of tea but I think it's a good idea.

GPS Test is a great app that will show you all the GPS information and statistics you could ever want.

Smart ShortcutsLets you categorize your apps and add links on your desktop to each category.
