Friend of mine bought a T-Mobile (IIRC) SIM in the US from Best Buy or similar for $5 which was pre-loaded with loads of data etc. Much cheaper than roaming. But a PITA since you can't receive incoming calls and SMS.

BTW, if you use Facebook, on Android, it's an absolute traffic hog. Ditch it.

Just finished up the GUI.

The Lead Tester is doing the final QA before sign-off and release: http://wpcdn2.padgadget.com/wp-conte...rice-case2.jpg

Shouldn't be long now.

Download using wifi though.

Going to when back. Between two of us yesterday we did 18meg at £5.50 each!!!!! Absolute daylight robbery.

In addition does anyone know if there is a Google Map Or similar app which does not charge for data?? £40 to use Maps in the last few days is taking the piss.

Do you know what software the CUK forums are running? Things like vBulletin/phpBB have a plugin that allows mobile users to browse a lo-fi version using apps like ForumRunner and Tapatalk on smartphones.

I'd love CUK to accessible via one of those apps as it keeps data usage right down.

As for mapping - what phone/OS?

There are cheap/free navigation tools out there that use OpenStreetMap that you could use that allow full offline mode for a particular area/region/country.
