It's good, but is a pain in the arse to have to keep starting at the bottom again
Someone was on Radio 1 yesterday talking about a new 'wine' app for the iPhone/iTouch.
It is the first application that can search based on a picture.
Basically, you take a picture of a wine bottle (well, the label), and it comes back with;
* What type of food the wine will go with
* How much you should expect to pay a bottle in a off license, supermarket, restaurant, etc. Which I think is great.
Alternatively, you can type in what you are going to have for dinner, and it will give you an idea of the type of wine you should be drinking.
I don't know how much it costs though.
I don't even have an iPhone/iTouch.
What am I doing here?

Not true, The amazon app will allow you to take a photo of a book or CD and it will recognise it and tell you how much it costs on amazon. I use it all the time when out shopping to compare the price.
Oh, pretty sure thats what they said on the radio. But then they would, if they're trying to sell it.
Plink have been doing it for a while too with art.
Must be pretty good too, as Google bought them yesterday.

No - It's £2.99, but £2.99 well spent IMHO - One of the greatest Amiga games for less than £3 - Bargain!
I'm just hoping for a SWOS 96-97 or Monkey Island
Long Live Guybrush Threepwood!!!

I don't believe there actually is one - I've searched everywhere and have come to the conclusion that Giraffe is having a "Giraffe"

Have Apple EVER referred to the iPod touch as an iTouch?
Personally I don't like the name and it winds me up when people use it. It is just another member of the iPod family, and therefore is named accordingly an iPod [model] just like every other one has been before it.
Ever since the iPhone people seem to think that adding an I to the beginning of any common word suddenly makes it the name of an Apple product. The iPod was never the iPersonalMP3Player just like the iMac was never the iMidrangepersonaldesktopcomputer.

Nah, I've got some app that can scan barcodes using the camera.
Also Google Goggles has been around for a while now, granted not on the iPhone.

Indeed a big peeve of mine and I've come close to renaming this thread around 7,843 times already.

I've had Monkey Island on my Touch for at least 6 months, possibly a lot longer. Just not got the chance to play it very much.
Championship Manager is currently taking up most of my casual gaming time.

I've got Championship Manager on mine, but much like the PC version, it just leaves me cold. I've tried to like it, but it just feels like a number-crunching exercise. Reeling off endless players stats, faffing around sorting out training etc etc between games. I dunno, it all feels like a bit of a CHORE.
I know I'm probably completely alone with this view, as finding CM boring is probably akin to finding Jessica Alba a bit of a munt. Can't help it though. Give me Angry Birds any time.

Bedtime junior, daddy's home - Football Manager 2010 has been released.
It is £7 though.

I find CM10 a bit tiresome on the iPhone too. If FM10 is now available I might give that a go!
