Has anyone tried the skyfire browser installed? I can't find it in the android market and can't seem to install from the website as well.

I've got it, it works well. I got it from the market in Canada... not sure why you can't find it. |

Yeah, the flashlight app is pretty cool. I've been having issues with the widget not working correctly though. I tap on it to turn the light on and nothing happens. I have to delete the widget from my home screen and re-add it to get it working properly again. |

I think the issue was the task killer getting closing the flashlight app. Since I've prevented that from happening, the widget works fine. It's really handy! |

My apps so far installed on my X10i since my birthday (was my gift from my girlfriend on May 5th) that I love:
AIM - AOL Instant Messenger, chat client
Air Control - VERY addictive game
Barcode Scanner - Cool app that lets you scan barcodes and then it finds you the best price or app in the Android Market
Bump - AMAZING App. Just bump you phone and someone elses with Bump installed (works with iPhones) to transfer files such as pictures and contact.
Facebook - Preinstalled, but I got the update...anyone know how to get notifications like the iPhone does?
FxCamera - Cool camera that does fun effects such as fish eye, etc.
Opera Mini - Web browser
Sky News - Sky News app.
XPERIA FlashLight - Nice torch that uses the EXTREMELY bright LED (don't stare at it lol)
Zedge - Cool apps that lets you get wallpapers and ringtones for free

Nope, but I use Opera Mini which is really nice.
Anyone know of any good converters with no ads? There's one out by Neuwert Media for the iPhone that's fantastic (my girlfriend has the iPhone) that I have on there for her, but unfortunately he doesn't do it for Android yet

Would like to recommend Raging Thunder 2 Lite. It's free and fun,with very smooth graphics. Although there is a paid version, as I tend to use the phone more for brief diversions than real gaming, this is fine.
Also the Mazeoid Pacman port and Super Froggy are both free and entertaining.
Have installed but not yet used Bump.
Anyone got a Skype version that does voip over wi-fi. I've heard a vicious rumour that one exists, but can't find it..

Google Maps has been updated to include a Navigation icon in the launcher amongst a few other items!
Enjoy!

Bump is cool. Very neat little piece of software.
As for Skype, have you checked out their website? I know they only officially support the iPhone right now, but it looks like you can download it straight to your phone...

Thanks for the tip but I already tried that method and it just says the handset isn't supported, I have seen a lite Beta mentioned in other threads but not been able to find a version that I can install..
No great shakes, just be another handy little thing.. |
