iphone presents a DCIM folder to your computer, so any decent photo management software should see it and interpret the orientation data and display the images correctly. Try Picasa.

or there's that...

Ah, I see your "photo software" already displays the images correctly, but it's facebook with the issue. You'll have to use your photo software's Export function to write out copies of the images. Or use Picasa, which has a plugin for facebook uploads http://apps.facebook.com/picasauploader/

Yes. Yes. Yes.

It works. Thank you very much

Game recommendation for War of Eustrath. It's a sorta anime rpg/turn-based strategy game with some appalling Engrish which only adds to the game.

I love it.

£3.49 mind.

There's an HD version for the iPad, which is making me want an iPad.

Quick question: After obsessing for months I am now looking on e-bay to get a 16gb 3gs handset. I need to check though - as long as I get it unlocked or on O2, will I be able to put in my PAYG Text and Web sim and use the phone ok?

 

[kropotkin]

Yea that's fine

Him indoors now has my 3G set up. It's like watching a child take their first steps. This is his first colour screen phone. He even tweeted while out shopping earlier. And on Friday he took a photo of his kettle in his office.

Bless him.

Im happy to hear via the usual 'Steve Jobs email published to the net' channel that a fix for the dreadful iOS 4 performance on older iphones sounds like it is coming soon.

 

[elbows]

Oh and thanks Crispy for the iOS youtube video embeds fix, Ive not had a chance to try yet, trying to do too many things at once again.

Just setup my iphone 4, crispy init?

This probably sounds a stupid question but here goes. I have an itunes on my computer with stuff on it. I have also downloaded stuff on my ipod touch. If I connect my ipod to the computer and it synchs will the tracks on my ipod go onto my itunes account? I am worried that the synching will delete the stuff I have downloaded directly onto the ipod and replace it with the stuff in my itunes library. Help??

 

[Crispy]

yes, it will copy your purchases onto your computer

 

[ash]

I will give it a go

 

[ShiftyBagLady]

I'm thinking of getting an iPhone, have they sorted out the signal problems now?

 

[Structaural]

Okay this is the mutt's nutts. I'm well impressed with iOS4 multitasking and the speed of this phone, wifi gives me about 6500kb d/l (t-mobile nederlands still give unlimited 3G too). Resolution is stunning. Build is quality. Running Spotify or TuneIn Radio while surfing or playing games is just perfect. Haven't had any antennae problems yet - but then I've put a cover on it already. Gyroscope app shows how well the new widget works btw.

I'll stop there - a very nice bit of kit.

How do I put PDFs into iBook? (and why is the iBook store so crap - can I put books from other sources into it?)

How do I put PDFs into iBook? (and why is the iBook store so crap - can I put books from other sources into it?)

Open it in Mail or Safari and it'll give you the option to "Open in iBooks"

 

[Crispy]

OR, drag it onto iBooks' file upload box in iTunes on your computer.

I drag books (from any source) onto iBooks in iTunes (as Crispy explained) but to get my PDF's on my bookshelf I drag and drop into Purchased then sync my iphone.

Or get goodreader, it's much better.

 

[Structaural]

Cheers everyone. (at 79¢ for goodreader, I'd better take a look)

 

[Crispy]

I use Cloudreader which is free I think

 

[Piers Gibbon]

I use Stanza as a free book reader..very nice, you can download gutenberg freeby books within the app

 

[butchersapron]

Forgot to say, in goodreader you can do USB transfer.

 

[Structaural]

I've bought goodreader to check out when I get home. I've got Stanza from years ago - does it no longer have it's own desktop app? (I get a 404 when I try and get it).

Does the iPhone allow sharing of App specific docs like on the iPad?

 

[Piers Gibbon]

never heard nothing about a desktop version of stanza

I now have a shiny new ip4..enjoying it very much, it's quite a jump from my original iphone 2g

 

[Structaural]

I went from a 3G (same as a 2g but with 3G chip), it is quite a difference, like going from pentium 4 to quad-core.

 

[Crispy]

yes it does

 

[Crispy]

Yet more accidental thread closure. Sorry!

 

[ShiftyBagLady]

None of you people answered my bloody question
I'm thinking about getting an iPhone as I'm about to upgrade and could get the 16GB one really cheap but is that enough memory? I can imagine I'll want to take pictures a lot and will probably fill that up quite fast, plus I have about 12GB of music on my iPod and that's not nearly half of what I want on it... Oh yes, and the reception thing, is it rubbish or what?
I'm dithering.
