streaming- I haven't looked properly but there seems to be complex ways of doing it....but may I ask why you're streaming video to your phone when you should be watching it off a bigger screen such as your computer/laptop/tablet/tv-enabled device? anyway yes no simplified way of streaming, which I'll admit would be handy in the very few instances I would use it.

Your bank probably has a mobile version of its site, if not an iphone optimised layout of its site which for you only requires to input that link in your browser, bookmark it, and then add it as a shortcut on one of your home screens.

I'm in Australia and we basically have a mobile optimised version for each bank

Kindle-is coming soon, but I'll be reasonable and just like others no one likes waiting

I cant post links but do a quick search on google if you don't believe me

amazon-havent bothered checking for an app, but all that you need to do is browse to the site, bookmark it, and then place that bookmark as a shortcut on your homescreen...I just did it and trust me it is well optimized for the desire

ebay-google ebay android...theres a page dedicated to the official app

Don't like it? use that bookmark method with the full site

Still don't lik it? use iphone.ebay.com or whatever its called and then bookmark and shortcut it

ikea-no app as far as im concerned...To me it looks like a catalogue viewer which, and I could be wrong, just be downloaded as a pdf for viewing on ur computer or transferred to your desire

tesco-nothing I could find...admittedly from what I'm guessing it seems handy as a shopping list, store locator and "find X item in Y aisle"

met office- im assuming its just the weather, not sure what makes it better than other weather apps but I do get the feeling that the iphone app is just a link to an iphone optimized layout of the site, which can probably be found if you did some digging and then bookmark and shortcut it

metro app- transportation app I assume with timetables and routes?

There should be a mobile optimized site. I'm not gonna look for one for wherever you live but I'm in Australia and I've bookmarked and shortcutted a mobile optimized site and lo and behold it looks just like an iphone app on my desire"

mobile.itransit "dot" com.au/#_home

rightmove-nothing available and I don't think there's a mobile site that the app is based on...so yes nothing here but do keep an eye out on this:

damonsk"dot" com/2010/02/rightmove-android-application

radiotimes-an electronic tv.radio guide....could be wrong but chances are there is an eguide app somewhere in the market place for your phone and I'd imagine it would work somewhat like that flickster or movie finder app which works region by region...if not im just gonna tell you to find a mobile optimised version of their site and bookmark and shortcut it

A lot of iphone apps are just mobile versions of websites. And these mobile versions of websites aren't "apps" in the sense that they are just quick links to a mobile site or an iphone layout of that website.

Yes some "app" versions of these mobile sites seem more polished, and this generally holds true if they only have a mobile version of their website and not an iphone version you can link to, but is it really all that difficult to bookmark that mobile website and then shortcut it to your homescreen?

iphone-start up app store-search for the app-download the app-done

android-start up browser-navigate to website-bookmark website-shortcut on homescreen-done

wow 1 extra step and you can access it iphone style from your homescreen

All you need to do is look around on the market place to find "apps" similar to what you're looking for and if its not there then go bookmark and shortcut the mobile web version of it.
