Okay – why the hell did my alarm go off 'silently' this morning – a silent alarm is not an alarm, it's a message. Messages don't wake people #
@samsungukmobile my iPhone 4 alarm didn't wake me up thismorning because it decided to be silent because of a silent-mode bug! Thanks a lot! #

Try adding bet365.com to your iPhone home screen – it creates a dedicated App?!? How did they do that? #
How to make your 1.0 iPhone 4 app – 1. Create hi-res icon (I.e. Re-export), 2. Compile with iOS4 SDK (b/g is free!). 5 mins max-cummon peeps #
