Apple iPhone and related items (cont.)

You wont get the same deals with an iphone that you do on many other sorts of phones, especially non-smart phones. So it is a bit of a shock how much they end up costing.

I havent shopped around so dont know the very best deal but with the likes of o2 you can also get one for £30 a month on a 18 month contract but you would have to stump up £229 or £329 upfront depending on which capacity you go for (16GB or 32GB). This is much cheaper overall than the 24 month option you mention, but thats also because with the £45 24 month option you mention, you get 1200 minutes a month as opposed to 100 minutes.

Pay and go options have the handset at around the £500 mark.
 
I have just downloaded the free version to have a look at this. It is very different. I will use it for a day or so before I pay for it. It is ridiculous how tight I am when it is coming to apps. I wouldn't think twice about spending £1.79 in real life but it seems like a huge investment in the app store!
 
It been a great week for developers who want flexibility when it comes to development tool choices:

http://www.macrumors.com/2010/09/09...evelopment-tools-publishes-review-guidelines/

In particular, we are relaxing all restrictions on the development tools used to create iOS apps, as long as the resulting apps do not download any code. This should give developers the flexibility they want, while preserving the security we need.

This leads to Adobe resuming work on the flash->iOS thing.

Apple’s announcement today that it has lifted restrictions on its third-party developer guidelines has direct implications for Adobe’s Packager for iPhone, a feature in the Flash Professional CS5 authoring tool. This feature was created to enable Flash developers to quickly and easily deliver applications for iOS devices. The feature is available for developers to use today in Flash Professional CS5, and we will now resume development work on this feature for future releases.

They have also relaxed their rules about collection of analytical data. Methinks they smelt legal trouble coming.

These developments meanthat I will seriously consider switching my dev plans away from web-based stuff, and an investment in Unity 3D seems likely for me. Hooray.
 
Hmmm.....

anyone dont the 4.1 update? I really havent noticed that much difference between normal photos and HDR photos.
 
It's an odd update.

I've noticed a little improvement with HDR, in the right lighting.

The games center doesn't seem to have any games available :D

The proximity sensor now glows and supposedly bluetooth is improved.

And not forgetting Ping.

Haven't bothered with Ping, not sure what to make of the Game Centre given how crappy it was at letting me sign in and as you say there's not many games just yet...
 
I got thew phone and it's very good, I like the cameras very very much :cool:
HOWEVER
I'm now having problems with the mail app....
edit: i've fixed it now because i'm a wizard :cool:

Oh yeah, I got a bit lost using the maps thing the other day :oops: had a tutorial from a pro though so I now know that you've got to shake it or something for it to find your location. I've ordered my free bumper too because I love a freebie :cool:
 
Argh, no idea what I've done, was syncing my iphone 4 last night - don't know if it had finished or not & now it is frozen on a screen with a picture of the itunes logo, an arrow & the usb cable . . . . if I plug the phone into the computer it doesn't register it. If I turn the phone on & off it goes straight back to this frozen screen after a brief flash of the apple.

Any ideas of what to do please?
 
Have you tried resetting the iPhone? To reset, press and hold the Sleep/Wake button and the Home button together for at least ten seconds, until the Apple logo appears.

I've tried resetting it. It just goes back to the same screen.

Thanks for the number, definitely had it less than 90 days.

try plugging it into a different usb port.
 
Dimples1, are you 100% sure that your phone hasn't been exposed to liquid? your symptoms are the same as mine after trying all of the recommended actions, turns out i had got it wet somehow and fried it. £140 down the pisser that was.
 
try this, it may or not work:

DFU mode and restore:.
INSTRUCTIONS
Step 1. Turn off iPhone

Step 2. Hold down the power and home button.

Step 3. When you see the Apple logo, release the power button but continue holding the home button down.

Step 4. Open iTunes and wait for it to tell you that it’s in restore mode.

Alternative Method:

Step 1. Connect iPhone to USB then listen to the sound when it connect and disconnect.

Step 2. Hold the home and power buttons until hear the disconnect sound then release power button.

Step 3. Wait until you hear another sound then release home button.


That should get you done and back working.
