Shazam will let you identify music, and it's currently free.
Just hold the iphone near the speaker and it will listen for 30s then check and tell you what the song is!

I don't whether to laugh at this or cry.

It's pretty much the same as me, two pointless apps, and one even more pointless app that is completly hopeless on a tiny screen.

I think I need to kill myself, I'm slowly turning into Rich.

Actually no, it's ok. I've some self righteousness tokens to use up seeing as I succumbed to the dark side and slipped on a set of comfy sandals.

I might just sit all smug instead, whilst suggesting to all who'll listen, that MS are evil.

I've just sent Garlick a PH Smiley icon so that we can get a decent hot-button instead of a nasty pint-sized screengrab.

It doesn't use GPS at all actually. It's purely accelerometer based.

There is a cheaper alternative, called G-Tac. It's £2.99 if I remember rightly. Although Dynolicous has already gained the support of a few PH members and there is even a ph wiki thread where people are submitting their own data for others to view and add to.

While im here.. Theres already an identical thread to this in the computers forum.

What's even cooler is that it usually then gives you a direct link to buy the song on iTunes and to the music video on YouTube.

I personally think Iphones are crap... however...

You should be able to Yell.com if thats any use. Quite handy if your about and about...

Also that nike+ software for measuring your fitness development.
