Android or iPhone 4?
Do I get an Android phone or an iPhone 4? I’m in no rush to get a new phone but I do periodically suffer from phone envy. I am a fan of easy-to-use technology. I currently own an iPhone 3G with iOS 4.0.1 installed. My phone has been jailbroken not because I have a “SOFTWARE [...]
iPhone 3G slowness
Within days of my putting on iOS 4.0.1 onto my iPhone 3G, the phone started to crawl. Playing music was painful and using applications became a joke. For example doing anything with Camera+ (a very cool photo app BTW) would take minutes when it used to take seconds. Downgrading to 3.1.3 caused my apps to [...]
No iPhone 4 for me yet?
Not really news, but nice to see that Consumer Reports can send people the straight scoop. This seems to put to rest the myth of this being a software glitch. I still plan on getting one. I was going to get the bumper anyways and it’s still an awesome phone despite the antenna flaw. Share [...]
Google Voice on the iPhone is slick
After I read this article on Gizmodo (helpfully called “How To: Jailbreak Any iPhone, iPod Touch or iPad”) I figured what the heck and did the deed. The Spirit Jailbreak Tool is as fire and forget as it gets. I backed up my iPhone, made sure I could restore it to its pristine Apple condition [...]
Google Voice on my iPhone
I like playing with technology and I received an invite to Google Voice. I use an iPhone 3G so the integration is limited to a HTML5 web page running in Safari. The integration is not bad at all and the web page on my iPhone is very functional. Share this: Reddit Facebook StumbleUpon Print
The iPad is announced! I just don’t don’t get it
With some fanfare the iPad was announced today. And if I am reading it right, it’s like an iPhone but big and fat. I don’t get it. It’s an iPhone without the phone. It does not multitask. So while you are using it as a ebook reader, you can’t keep any instant messenger sessions in [...]
iPhone OS 3.1 software is out
Naturally I am about to update my phone to the 3.1 version of the iPhone OS. I’m hoping I can manipulate play lists within my iPhone now; I have not checked out the new features yet. Share this: Reddit Facebook StumbleUpon Print
Transcoding for the iPhone
This is definitely one of those “you’d better write this down” posts. Being a longtime LINUX monkey, I am used to manipulating files via the command line. The GUI is a fad and if you want to get something done switch to command line. Transcoding video files are good for that sort of CLI manipulation. [...]
Attention Apple: AT&T is hurting your brand
Another day and another 3G outage for my iPhone. Even EDGE is not working today. Voice works, just not data. If the Palm Pre is successful it will not be because of an iPhone issue, it will be because AT&T’s 3G network is a joke. The iPhone is a great piece of convergent technology. But [...]
Looks like I'll need to try iTunes again
I don’t like DRM. It’s not an effective control since you can almost always convert the protected media into an unprotected version.It treats paying customers like trash and is meant to keep the fish swimming in neat little lines. That’s why I buy all my online music from Amazon. I’m not an Amazon fan exactly, [...]
