Some tips for it:

Although must say I have been disappointed by the lack of real killer apps. There are a few but not as many as for the iPhone:

Pulse News
BBC News
Film On TV (although don't think this works in UK)
Facebook
Twitter
Livescore.com
ESPN Scorecenter (does footy too)
Fifa 12

And the absolute killers for me:

Air Video (when you install the server app on your PC or Mac you can play movies with live conversion from almost any format, at great quality, straight from your computer hard drive. I was watching movies at my mum's in Norwich, streaming them in HD from my Mac in the Netherlands !).

Audiogalaxy (as above but for music).

Don't have it with me but if I think of others will post them. Most of the ones I have are info apps which aren't relevant to the UK but will have UK equivalents.

Lovely old bit of kit though.
