    £100? I'm not an iphone fan but for that price I'd snap it up! They normally retail above £250 secondhand I think.

    I use outfront for occasional tracking of my bike rides. Clinometer is amusing for finding frame angles.

    Sat Nav apps are usually pretty expensive, £40 ish for the TomTom one.

    I've got plenty of other stuff on there too.

    For Satnav try Google Navigation not sure how great it is in real world use but would be a free option....

    Everytrail app is also good for tracking, and trails, both of which are free.

    Free sat navs are out there but (apperently) there not very good because they work off the phone network not GPS. (i cannot confirm or deny this as i use co-pilot on mine)

    Google Nav uses the GPS, it tells you it needs it to function at its best and with GPS turned off hardly works, tried and tested.

    Rat on a Scooter XL is quite an addictive game. So are angry birds, doodle jump and apple shoot. Beer Battery is good to provide a more accurate batery life estimate, and BatteryDoctor is good at maintaining the battery. Flashlight is usefull, and so is 18000 Jokes. Atomic Fart is a laugh too.

    Just been told about myPlayer, tv on your handset and in surprisingly goodquality. You will need a generous data allowance though as I can imagine that it will eat into your allowance.
