It only shows their featured channels unfortunately. So if you want to watch a stream of something like The Office for example, you will have to have an account and then add that channel to your favourites before you can watch it on your phone.
I assume that in order to see hockey you have to do the same thing? Is hockey a featured channel?

How far are you? Finished? How many levels are there?

As for Opera, there are other browsers in the app store ... they just all blow.

Ive been playing this too. I'm getting to the point where it's forcing me to buy the upgrades though, which is annoying.

Nope.

Their featured channels are terrible, to get the most out of the app you will have to favourite some decent channels on the web.

Two new search apps from Yahoo. One interestingly called "Sketch-a-Search."

Won't Sleep Cycle wear out the iPhone battery much faster? I'd guess it probably adds a full deplete-charge cycle every night you use it.

You plug it in overnight.

I thought this was pretty cool. My sleep cycles usually look like this:




But one night a couple of weeks ago I had crazy crazy nightmares all night and my sleep pattern looked like this:




I realize what the app is doing isn't overly complicated, but it's still pretty cool to see it mapped out like that.

I was trying to check but I think I lost my iPod. Or well, if it turns up I'll let you know.

I realize that. I use the app. I just thought there would be extra wear on the battery that would reduce its life. No?

You aren't discharging the battery, so how would you reduce it's life?

You aren't really running the battery through a full cycle, so I'd say the wear would be minimal.

I don't know. I just thought that the greater use of the battery might reduce its life. I didn't think so but thought it might. Russic answered the question.

A very long-winded article but has anyone tried Line2? Or the app the article also mentions as an aside, Truphone? Skype is great but if Line2 works on 3G and it only costs $16 ($1 to download and a $15 membership/user fee), it may be worth it to make long distance calls. Has anyone used it?

F.A.S.T is a jet-fighter game. The best game out there, pay the 99cents for the real version, so much fun with friends.

Anyone know any good tower-defense games? I'm playing tower madness right now and that's pretty good. But it's the free one, is the paid one better?

What other games + apps are good?

Flood-It is a free, simple and addicting game.

It's already out actually. It's faster than Safari that's for sure... but I prefer safari. Maybe I'm used to it but just scrolling and everything seems a little easier. I like the rigid scrolling of safari... opera seems outta control
