Ah cool, good to hear you're a Tweetie fan too :) Push notifications for DM's would be wonderful :cool: Cheers for the Let's Golf recommendation. Downloaded for that price, will play with it soon but looks like a great one :) Hey Steven. Ah cool, good to hear you’re a Tweetie fan too :) Push notifications for DM’s would be wonderful :cool:

It's on sale at 59p for a limited time. Sam, I also recommend Let’s Golf by Gameloft if that’s your thing. It’s on sale at 59p for a limited time.

I bought Peggle when it was released. Was the game I looked forward to on the iPhone the most. Another Tweetie fan here. It was actually you, Sam, that turned me to Tweetie after seeing you tweet about it (I follow you on twitter too, lol) I wonder if we will see push notifications for Tweetie when you receive an @ reply or Direct Message?

Cheers. Glad you agree with my recommendation of Tweetie :) QuickPigeon is a brilliant idea, but like you not sure it will replace SMS or twitter. But, the push notifications *are* so nice. I'm really looking forward to using the Wimbledon app when the tournament starts on Monday. From the screenshots of the scoreboards it looks excellent and a great way to keep up with what's going on.

I bought Peggle after a few people, including you I believe, tweeted about it - I agree, it's totally addictive and I completed it within a few days too. I also went on to buy it for the Xbox Arcade I loved it that much. I also installed QuickPigeon the other, just to see a push notification :D It's an interesting idea for an app, but I tend to communicate either via SMS or through Twitter, and not email, so I'm not sure how useful it will become for me. I agree with most of your other app reviews apart from the Sky News app. I really dislike it - or rather, I dislike Sky News content rather than the app itself (I'm a BBC type 'o guy). In terms of apps that I can't live without, I'd have to add flickr. Okay, it's not strictly an app but I visit it everyday via m.flickr.com (plus it has a nice iPhone icon) - it's brilliant for keeping up with flickr whilst out-and-about. I also reckon the Wimbledon app will become very useful within the next few weeks for any tennis fans such as myself - and it's free so there's no reason not to download it. Nice reviews, Sam.
