Damn I wish I hadn't heard about Game Dev I've spent quite a large chunk of this afternoon playing it

I've been playing this for hours now! It's so hard to put down!

Yea that Game Dev story is stupidly addictive. I put it off for a while, mainly because of the price tag. But then I thought sod it sounds really cool idea and took the plunge. Def one of my fave games on my iphone4.

That said the new angry birds halloween is still pretty damm awesome.

Anyone know of a Calendar app that will sync with other Gmail calendars? I have one (CalenGoo) its ok, but wonder if there is a better one out there?

Just set up your google account as an exchange account and the calendar will sync with the built in calendar

No idea but it's very disappointing.

The whole reason I was looking forward to VLC so much was so I could watch anime at the gym. I haven't found a single .mkv which has worked yet.

Eatchipz · 25 Oct 2010 at 18:42

So pretty much the VLC app plays file types that apple does not support and you don't even need to convert them?

If so what a great app!

Yaka · 25 Oct 2010 at 20:02

wow vlc is great news does it support subtitles as well? been using cinex of late and that has subtitles support

Yes that is what i do, but it only displays my calendar, not the others i have. (UK Holidays and the GF's)

That is what i am trying to get.

I use Saisuke, it syncs with multiple Google calendars and once set up how you like it, it's perfect.

Vlc still needs a lot of work, ac3 only plays the rear speakers so you can't hear any voices, there's no zoom function so your left with black bars. I'll stick with manually converting any videos until Vlc is fixed

It's not free like VLC, but OPlayer has played everything i've thrown at it so far - wmv/mkv/avi/mpg, maybe worth a look for some of you if you're having no joy with VLC.
