Whoa, N.O.V.A is crazy. Not sure if it's been talked about but it's insane how good a FPS can be on a phone. Looks ridiculous at full resolution on the iPhone4 (the free version doesn't have the full res unfortunately).

I played this for 45 straight minutes on the train yesterday. Such a great "just 1 more" kind of game. Damn those ancient curses though. Damn them.

The Incident traps me between stuff and then drops stuff on my head far too often for my liking.

Easily worth 99 cents. I've only been playing with it for a few minutes, but so far it is way better than Safari

Wow, I forgot all about that game. Time to load the ROM up for that one.

I would love a port of Populous on the touchscreen.

Does anyone know of an app or the best way to transmit from my phone to my fm radio in my vehicle.

Also I've read people hear liked GolfCard, so I was going to download it, but the reviews of the recent upgrade, people are saying it is useless to Canadians????

DM, if you mean you want to have your Ipod play through your FM radio, that's not a software solution you are looking for but rather a hardware one.

I haven't tried GolfCard since the update, but it sounds like they dropped their partnership with OobGolf, which was one of my favorite things. They had every damn course imaginable, and if they didn't you could notify them and it would be there within 24 hours. I would stay away from this app for now.

Maybe there's an app for this? Maybe there's a built in setting? I'm not sure... maybe someone here knows...

During the day, I want e-mail alerts on. During the night, I want them off. However, I always want my phone's ringer to be on. Is there any way to automate a schedule like that?

It might depend a little on what you mean by email alert. Do you just mean the ding? That I don't know how to turn off at a set time, which I think is what you're asking.

For pop-up notifications I use an app called Boxcar. It sends you push notifications for email, twitter, facebook and other things. It's great when you're awake, obnoxious when you're sleeping. It has a quiet mode that lets you restrict when the push notifications come in.
