Oh dear, that's a lot. Don't have music on iPad, but do on iPod, with audio books etc.

I can't rival that lot! But have recently downloaded Android app:
ConvertPad - Unit Converter, which converts currency, weights and measures, temperature and so on.

My OG has that; and one that is all useless facts, and Solitaire. Plus, of course, the English Cricket board app....

I love useless facts!

Kindle, Facebook, kik, yellow.com, angry birds, navigation, translate.

I thought it said apples and was about to answer as such. I'm totally lost..what are all of the above mentioned things? Angry birds ...

In daily (or very frequent) use are:
Catch Notes (for making notes and lists)
WhatsApp - for free texts Internationally
App2sd - for telling me what can be moved to save space
Maverick
3G watchdog

Games include Labyrinth, solitaire and intelligent workout
Photo apps - SketchMe, PicSay and Camera Fun

Ah, Crimson, it's a whole new vocabulary you have to learn when you acquire a smart phone! I was persuaded by DS1 who is a bit of a geek and slowly but surely am getting the hang of it.

I also the OS Landranger maps on my iPad, plus

And my favourite fun thing in the dark winter nights: Planets.

MOG's the geek in the family who put them there while I raised my eyebrows, but I do use them!

I loiathe my Sony Experia from T Mobile and they wont upgrade for me until Dec 2012 - have explained its hopeless for anyone with arthritic fingers and they are unsympathetic not buying from them again

Miserable lot! We won't either...

bagitha (love the new name btw, it sounds as though it should come from Bagpuss), I also have the OS landranger on my Android phone but find that it is really slow loading, is yours? I get frustrated with it which is why I generally use Maverick instead

yoga, I haven't found OS Landranger slow so far, but I usually just use itnat home for planning purposes. Once I'm on the track, I prefer a proper old-fashioned map.

You were up early this morning bagitha - couldn't you sleep?

Not an app, exactly, but would like to say how much I love my GPS! I am seriously geographically challenged, and the GPS was made for me; am happy driving but it's so nice knowing I'm not going to get lost.

No, I couldn't, yoga. Chest pain (asthma) really bad. Got up and made tea and had a squint on GN. Good medicine!

Have just started using the Stumbleupon app. Liking it.

Hope that by now you're feeling a bit better bagitha and that your day improved

Sleep well tonight, Bagitha! Knits up the ravelled sleeve of care.

Just seen the kind comments on here from last week. Thank you, yoga and ariadne! And yes, although I was tired all day that day, I did sleep well the following night .

An app to use with the grandchildren - abc PocketPhonics -for the iphone produced by www.appsinmypocket.com
