Grabbing TouchPal off the market now to take a peek. I currently use Swype but the simple fact that it's not on the market is such a pita.

Edit: Erm, just downloaded it and you can't swype to type?

i did this as well, the youtube video says its a trail

Just bought Swift Key X and it's exactly what I was after. After a couple of weeks I am still slow on the Samsung keyboard and not very accurate either. Swift Key is better than the iPhone I moved from.

Is there an app that will recreate the iPhone's image re-size on send email. Basically on the iPhone when sending a photo you get the option of small, medium, large or full size when attaching the picture. Very handy tool!

On the new market app - the reviews aren't in date order any more. Annoying!

Does anyone know whether if I uninstall the amazon free app of the day, I can still install it for free at another date?

I use Ultra Keyboard - with 'tracing' (swype) turned on, it auto-spaces for you

I love it, don't know why more people don't use it tbh

It's like swype, but better imho

Cool, thanks.

Got Jamie Olivers 20 minute meals, but I don't think I'll need it installed until I go back to uni

The guys that make LauncherPro have made a music app. Its ultra skinable and you can download skins for it.

Someone has made a WP7 Zune Skin that basically an exact clone.

How does it compare to winamp and poweramp?

kona786 · 30 Jul 2011 at 11:57

Its the wp7 theme that does it for me - don't really use my phone as an mp3 player so don't need any of the SQ features.

Didn't like winamp - looks dated. Not used poweramp.

benjo · 30 Jul 2011 at 11:58

I use the winamp app because the wifi sync is flawless

kbc · 30 Jul 2011 at 16:24

I cannot find an app which syncs with Google Notes? Is there one?

tomos · 30 Jul 2011 at 17:44
