Essential iPhone Apps

Well I said I'd do a review of Wyse Pocketcloud, this isn't one, more of a disgruntled customer :(

Visually this remote control software is great, it loads everything on your PC background, and looks great, not pixelly or anything, but this backfires with the performance, it's soooooo slow it's unbelievable, I used VNC before and that was much quicker but hard to use.The mouse on this software is superb.

I wish you could alter what the software loaded graphically to improve performance.

Hi guys and girls,

Is there an improved stop watch application?

I would like one with a feature where I can set different intervals for an alarm to go off, or a recurring set interval.

This would be useful for when I'm circuit training in the gym and do a minute on each set, but 30 seconds through I change my lead leg.

So would be cool to set a timer for after 30 seconds are up and then after the minute?

Judging by that screenshot, you were on a GPRS connection, which would explain why it was slow!

Yeah, well thats the problem, 3G is pretty rare around my area. I judge though because I've tested other remote control software and they're much quicker on GPRS.
 
Just read this review in the App Store for the Spotify app:

App Store said:
Woo Hoo. I'm the first to review it. Not tried it yet though.

I thought reviews were reviewed by staff before being put on the store - what a stupid comment...

im guessing over 3g/Edge its pretty quick. If its quick over 3g/edge then i think i'll go for a copy. Got wifi at home and work so thats the easy bit.

I've just tried this on WI-FI and the performance is superb so if you can remote on using this type of connection this software is for you.

I'm yet to test on 3G.
 
Let me know how you get on with it

over wifi its quick, esp on my home pc.
Connected to my works pc via vpn over wifi and works a treat. need to see about setting up VPN on the iphone now so i can use it from any wifi point/3g location.
