Is anyone here using the 3G iPhone?

Mike Lucey

Hi Todd,

I'm sure you will have great fun with the 3G. BTW, Tavi has one also so I am sure you guys will be coming up with some neat apps.

i'd say 90% of the posts i have made since receiving it have been on my iphone.

i love it, apart from the lack of copy paste that i had on my xda.

I had also the SDK downloaded but didn't do more than some test builds (you need a code signature to be able to run the build on the actual device or use a little trick)

some of the apps that I use daily (jb = jailbreak needed):

Byline - great in the morning to read the news from Google Reader,
FStream - internet radio in the car
AirSharing - reading PDF,PPT,Ruby,KeyNote files and transfer files via web interface
SBSettings (jb) - activate/deactivate 3G/Location/WiFi for more battery power
Cycorder (jb) - video recording with sound
Terminal (jb) - command line power

it is a nice device and best one for web/email on the move or when wife is shopping

Guys,

I found a site which has some cool add-ons for the iPhone. I have ordered the macro lens which is mounted magnetically! I will advise when I get it. The site is http://www.usbfever.com

Another tool I like is Things a taskmanagement. The release date for the desktop version is next week. ( But it is available as a release candidate now )
There's a desktop and IPhone version available which can be sync. Nice app and very easy to handle.

Guys,

One of the most annoying things on the iPhone has been no cut and paste. Well there is one now but it entails a download via Cydia and a Jailbroken iPhone. For minute by minute software updates and news on the Mac and iPhone keep an eye on http://www.iclarified.com/

..... and I received the Macro Lens a few days ago. It works very well for those close-up shots. It entails sticking a small magnetic ring over the iPhone lens but do not see that as a big deal. The Len can be attached to ones keyring.

Could you upload before and after shot? sorry to be a pain!

Thank you

Pav

just saw this app and thought all you iphone types might be interested: http://www.occipital.com/

Basically it takes 6 photos in quick succession and then merges them together to create a better image.

Mike Lucey

Pav, I have yet to do a proper test and show it here for you. Everytime I think about it its nightime and of course daytime pics would be best.

Mike Lucey

Guys,

I've just noticed the attached pic on iClarified showing what the next generation iPhone could look like. The pic is poor quality but you should be able to make out what the possible goodies may be. Looks very cool indeed! Oh! and it could be out in July 09!

The only problem is that the iPhone is SO well made that its capable of lasting for far more than 12 months, not like many other mobile phones on the market but again I imagine there would be a good secondhand value for the current 3G when the new model comes out.

Mike

PS: BTW, the iPhone pic I showed a few posts back was a hoax. I can never see apple producing an iPhone with a keyboard

Sadly I'm not an iPhone user, I'm never really in one place long enough to take out a contract with a cellphone company. But still, I've got the iPod Touch.

Mike, I have to say, if that new design comes true, I'd manage to find a way to be the first in the queue. Actually, now that I think about it, I wonder if there's anywhere that sells used iPhone 3Gs?

Mike Lucey

Jacob, I imagine they can be found on eBay. If I come across any good deals I will let you know.
