Hi All,

I've had my 4S for several days now and I'm absolutely loving it after coming from 2 years of Android (Hero, Desire). I decided to make the jump after buying an iPad 2 and rather liking it! Have to say, the build quality of the phone is stunning and iOS is very smooth and slick (swiping seems to lag on every android phone I've ever touched! don't care what anyone says).

Anyway, I'm all up and running, not without a few headaches though, particularly with battery life, but a few settings tweaks have sorted this, and trust me I'm used to tweaking setting to gain battery life! I have downloaded iOS equivalents of my favourite apps but I'm just missing a few...

ESFileExplorer - on Android this would allow me to browse the phone and any network file shares (Windows,Samba). Is there any iOS equivalent?

Transdroid - this used to let me remotely manage my torrents, I've found oyut about iControlBits but it appears to no longer be in the store, is there anything else?

Also, when using the keyboard in android a long press on the top letters would bring up the number for that key, can the same be enabled in iOS? No biggy as I'm getting used to holding my thumb on '123' now.

Thanks!
J
