Gotya ;)

In addition to your list, I'd add Lockinfo and BiteSMS.

LockInfo is awesome but is not free [$7.99]

I can definitely recommend a classic game back from the Amiga days titled "Another World."

It's even available at 1/2-price since about 2 hrs ago. :)

I am a big fan of Trover - it's a location based app that allows you to see interesting things around you. I use it to upload and share things I find while traveling. The new release is very user friendly. You can upload directly to trover or add things later if you are like me and don't enjoy sharing my location until later. I think photo curation is the next big thing in location based
Apps and they are doing a great job.

Works on Phone and Android.

Flyertalkers have been everywhere and have lots to share with the rest of the world.

Whatsapp is cross-platform - android, BB and iPhone. It will work on wifi.

I'm sure I mentioned this app long ago in this thread. It's the number one reason I jailbreak. As a traveler, I can use the data channel to send a very cheap SMS from anywhere in the world, to anywhere in the world. It's a real money saver.

Cleaning out old files on iPhone or iPad
 
Anyone have any experience with iWipe, iErase or iDelete. They both claim to wipe clean deleted files/pictures/music, etc. on devices.

Without jailbreak you can use Skype to send cheap SMS- usually 0.12 per message.

That's not cheap. .01 to .03 is cheap. That's what you get with BiteSMS. Also a vastly better SMS interface.

Very interested in BiteSMS but according to their website, the average cost per sms is $0.12?

See here: http://bitesms.com/flat_rates & http://bitesms.com/buy, and their homepage that says: It's the same price to send an SMS to anywhere in the world. You seem to be in United States, where each credit only costs 12 US cents to send an SMS message to anywhere in the world!

Did I miss the lower rates?

stimpy Feb 6, 2012 4:00 pm

Actually I'm in Europe and it seems the new rates are .067 per SMS now when you order €80 worth. I think the rates must have gone up since I last checked.
