if my memory hasn't failed me (yet), there is a feature which can be enabled where you need to enter your password each time a content is being purchased.

Yes there is.
However after the first purchase you don't need to enter the PW again within X hours.
That's why I was wondering if there's anything like limiting the amount to be spent on iTunes store.

Can i buy a (legit) iTunes Gift Card from SG (like say HMV) and use it on iTunes (US account)?

I don't think you can.
Do correct me if I'm wrong.

oh. then there is nothing much that can be done actually.

but if it any consolation, you need a valid license to play your purchased contents.

hence if it feel that your account has been compromised, you can either change the password or bring this to the attention of the apple personnel

I find my iPhone 1G very laggy actually, compared to the 2nd Gen iTouch.
Sigh, I just have a few games which only 1-2 of them have big file sizes.
I still have some Facebook, skype, dictionary apps.

300++ songs, 300+ photos and 2 movies.
How can my iPhone be so slow. -________-'''

Ishhh, especially Tap Tap Revenge 2,
which lags once in a while and screw my revenge mode while I was playing. Sigh.

Thanks. But does anyone know for sure (not just "think")? Just double checking...

@ fuiyo

in case you missed out something obvious; your first gen iPhone is jailbroken!

Meaning everyone who jailbroke his 1G is facing the same issue?
Whoa can't have like 5-6 pages of apps and games then. Sigh.

erm, jailbreaking the unit will slow it down to an extend. that is a well accepted fact.

Actually jailbreaking the phone won't slow it down, installing too many mobile substrate apps especially Winterboard will cause some lags to the system. Mobile Substrate add ons/apps will increase the memory usage thus slowing down the phone. Just now I did some experiments with 2 phones, 1 with Winterboard and 1 without. The result:

Without Winterboard
- Apps open within 2-3 secs
- Apps crash less

With Winterboard
- Apps open within 5-6 secs (more than 100% increase in time)
- Apps prone to crash (due to high usage of memory)

You can test it yourself if you have Winterboard and SBSettings installed. Run the phone in Safe Mode and you'll see the difference.

i support this statement as i can also see the speed when u did not installed winterboard and when u installed alot of winterboards....

trust me.... i got so many winterboard last time... it took me almost a minute and a half just to on my iphone...

and i always love the smooth of fresh restored iphone... so flawless....

OK I SHALL uninstall Winterboard to see, lately seems to be a bit more laggy.

jackdon

install winterboard meaning put so many themes on phone or what? or it juz lagging cuz of winterboard?

using winter board will take around 20 to 25mb of your 128Ram on the iphone. i usually use memtools downloaded from cydia and always fre my ram in order for my phone not always lagg after a lot of app/games i play/use.

p/s: correct me if im wrong.

my iphone works like a charmnow....thanks for the tips and guidance all!

try using this new stuff called winterboard lite...
helps improve the memory usage too..at least for me
and also if u r using biteSmS, try turning the background toggle off...surely wud help

oh, there a lite version of winterboard, k nice, i will try to use and see the different then, thanks bro.

its not exactly a lite version of WB...
its just an add on which prevents UI images n sounds from being loaded n taking up memory...
u'll hv 2 add a repo to get tat...
its in da cydia thread

Yes, I kinda heard of this before.
What happens now is I dont even have any apps from Cydia, not even Cydia. LOL
I only have around 500MB of apps which are merely from App Store. Sigh!
After deleting Crash Kart I think my iPhone is faster. =)
Somehow my Tap Tap Revenge 2 still lags a lil.
Anyone can tell if Tap Tap Coldplay or Tap Tap Dance is worth buying,
compare to Tap Tap Revenge 2?

Much appreciated.
