Apple iPhone and related items (cont.)

Looks like it could be down to 5 hours browsing time. How does this compare with other 3G phones?
 
There’s still no copy-and-paste, Bluetooth or (MMS)

Jesus wept.
What's the bloody problem? :rolleyes:

I was on the verge of getting one this time too... kinda getting bored of saying 'ah,ok - maybe in 6 months then' :(

You just have to live with all the short comings and hope they get fixed in the future. Apple do have a reasonable track record of updating their software over time but currently their dev team seem to be focusing on the business model, rather than tidying up the product. MMS and CnP are sitting in someones queue 'low priority'.
 
My worry is that they can't find a simple enough way to integrate CnP into the interface. I bet they've tried it, but Steve has vetoed it on grounds of unintuitivity (sp?)

lack of MMS and Video is just stupid, though.

I wondered that, but strange considering they pretty much invented C&P.

I agree, maybe there'll be some apps that take care of that. I've never used MMS but video is handy.

I wouldn't call over a year - and still counting - and two models to introduce such mobile rock-bottom basics like cut and paste, MMS and video a particularly impressive record of updating.

Very restricted Bluetooth. You can't sync via bluetooth or anything like that.

What?!! Even my 3yr old Treo could manage that! And it's handy too.
 
Its the way Apple work.

Stlye and usability for the average smuck on the street are its direction to make the device as attractive to as many peeps as possible. They leave geekier features such as advance Bluetooth use to geekier handsets.

Like look how long it took to have playlist shuffle on the iPod. Ridiculous.

About the same for an N95 8GB...

That puzzled me for a bit (given that, at a guess, the iPhone 3G has perhaps a 1600mAh battery vs the 1200 mAh in the N95 8GB).

I guess it may be down to the N95 having a much lower resolution screen, which will help with power usage.

They have updated it quite a few times in the year, just not added those features. Who knows why? So there may well be rejoicing in the future when Apple announce cut and past. Perhaps they are leaving it till next year for Steve Jobs to announce so he can get some extra 'whoops'

As for OLED, tech is too expensive and new for a device like that. Apple have been good at taking proven technology and making it work well. Sony's OLED is 1500 quid for an 11 inch model.
 
Well I've download 6 free apps.

Disappointed to see no 3rd party MMS app has stepped forward desipte there being such apps already on the market.

Now trying to decide how brave i am. Install that 2.0 software before its offical release or not.
 
It's an application for stocks and shares, real time. Most of our office use it (Traders). I'm in IT, not a trader btw!! :D
 
115 are free.

no-one knows yet. the 2.0 firmware isn't (officially) out yet.
 
'Shazam' looks pretty nifty. Hold the iphone up to any music that's playing, and it'll do that online lookup thing, then provide you with youtube and itunes music store links to that song.

You can already do that on other phones (maybe not with the iTune$ link), but some make you pay for the service.

If that works as described, it will be very impressive!

It does. I just tested it. Its way cool.

What i've tested so far:

Remote - WiFi turns your iPhone into a remote control for itunes. It was like using the touch iPod controls, playlists, songs, artists, etc. cept the music comes out of my PC speakers :)

Shazam - does what it says on the tin.

Facebook - Used it to IM with a mate, fast response and shows how many unread messages on my icon.

Phonesabre - Its childish i know but i beamed when my phone started to making lightsabre noises as i swung it around.

Voicenotes - no speaker option but works fine.
