Someone recomened fotbob to me a couple of pages back. Must say its rather good. Got every league you could think of! But you can select just the ones you want (and change it whenever)
Rafa Benitez: "I’ll always keep in my heart the good times I’ve had here, the strong and loyal support of the fans in the tough times and the love from Liverpool. I have no words to thank you enough for all these years and I am very proud to say that I was your manager."

Not used it for a while, but think you need to find a fixture press and hold it down and "like" one of the 2 teams when prompted.

Lightweight piece of crap IMHO, the 2 version might be better but I'd give that a miss. At least go for the Nexus S which is a slightly improved version...

I love my Galaxy S, what's lightweight about it apart from the fact it is slinky and light? And why would that be a bad thing?

It's a great phone as far as I'm concerned, but I'm no tech geek.

ESPN Goals gives you full running commentary similar to the BBC updates on a Saturday, but for each individual game.

I use that and the Footy Focus app to view the BBC timeline.

PES 2011 on Android is pretty swish. Looks like they got the PES5 engine and put it on the phone. Pretty good controls considering its touch screen.

I would post a free link but I don't think I'm allowed to :P

Here's a legitimate link for those who wish to purchase it however:
https://market.android.com/details?id=com.konami.pes2011

can someone please send me the link. thanks

What you want syncing?

I use doubletwist and airsync to do all my music. My contacts and that were with google so did not have to do anything else

yes, you just need to move the songs from itunes onto double twist, then whatever you move onto there, you get on your phone. It does not store it a second time on your computer, it just takes the reference for it.

Its a bit fiddly at first, but once you are used to it its a breeze.

I tried it and liked it so much i got the £3.10 airsync add on.

http://www.symantec.com/connect/blogs/new-android-threat-gives-phone-root-canal


Malicious authors have taken a variety of popular free apps from the official Android market and bundled them with malware capable of rooting the phone, harvesting data, or opening a backdoor. We have been seeing a lot of this as of late—threats like Android.Geimini and Android.Pjapps—where the authors release them on unofficial Android marketplaces.

Apparently some malicious authors where not satisfied just sticking with this routine. We have become aware of a selection of malicious applications following this trend; however, they are available on the official Android Market. The applications in question are popular free apps, bundled with malware, that have then been republished in the official marketplace under different application and publisher names.  According to sources, 50,000 to 200,000 downloads took place within a four-day time frame that the apps were made available. Google has taken action and has removed these apps from the official Android marketplace.

The Android Packages (.apk) include the file "rageagainstthecage", which is a tool commonly used to root the phone. In legitimate circumstances, this file can be used by the owner of the phone to acquire administrative rights on his or her phone. In this case, rooting the phone can allow the malware we call Android.Rootcager to perform more than the usual activities (e.g. taking screenshots) not commonly allowed on Android phones.

Android.Rootcager in particular roots the phone without user consent to perform various activities. DownloadProvidersManager.apk is dropped by the malware to monitor installed applications and download additional packages of code as a background service.  The malware also attempts to record IMEI and IMSI numbers, which are used to identify mobile phones, and upload the data to an external website.

The following is a list of potentially affected apps, so users may want to check if these are installed on their Android phone:
