the standard 'video' programme on my archos tablet lets me stream videos from my pc, is there something similar which I can download to use on my mobile phone?

MX video player.

The app store is part of iTunes though...

Maybe, but they aren't actually the same thing though... It's called the App Store.

Anyone tried Draw Something ?

Girlfriend was playing it on her iPad, so I got it for my GS2 to give it a try.

It's fun, but way too hard to draw anything accurately with your finger on a small screen. Much better on a tablet, although I noticed some words kept popping up. I think their dictionary is only about 500 words at the moment.

Just like iTunes really.

Yes, you're quite right I suppose!

Though as mentioned, the app store is separate (sort of

).

I've saved catchuptv as a favourite in my internet browser. Does TV quite well, loads of channels and its free.

Just purchased some 49p apps;

Dead Space
World of Goo
TuneIn Radio Pro

Any other recommendations?

You guys should check out this keyboard if you haven't already.

mrk · 8 Mar 2012 at 11:16

Just trying it out, the keyboard and numpad itself looks great, I like the button sizes and feedback. Don't like the smiley face pad(s) though but I won't ever use those. Will continue testing but nothing has yet to beat how fast I can type with Thumb Keyboard though and I've tried all the popular keyboards and currently have no less than 4 installed!

Kreeeee · 8 Mar 2012 at 13:06

Nothing beats Swype for me.

I'm really liking the stock keyboard on ICS

Not that I know off. I think BBC have an app called BBC iplayer on the market. If you have a mobile that supports flash, you could always just use iplayer etc. on their main websites

For me, I currently use swiftkey X, takes a while till it really can predict your words though, just wish you had more choice for customization. Apparently the developers will have an ICS themed keyboard soon
