I can only assume its the same as tethering.

£15 for 3 gb iirc.


bugger that.

Tbh I find in-ear headphones a bit annoying. I have some but I never use them, they feel alien and squidgy in my ears and I get every footstep I make echoed up into the music. I'd actually prefer a good set of buds.

I can't wear them, they hurt my right ear for some reason, and I must have super-sensitive hearing because I can hear every pulse in my veins, never mind booming footsteps!

Charging to use the hotspot feature? Fuck that.

 

[sim667]

Can anyone recomend any cool looking iphone4 cases? I seem to have split mine.

£15 for 3 gb iirc.


bugger that.

Its 7.66 for a paltry 500Mb. 500Mb is nothing if you use a laptop to browse.

I was thinking for laptop, ipad etc.....

I see that with the release of iOS 4.3, the iPhone 3G has officially been dropped into the Apple archives.

16Gb Still go for the 160 quid mark on ebay

 

[sim667]

Has anyone actually got home sharing working on 4.3? It wont do it for me

 

[elbows]

Yay the iOS 4.3 itunes home sharing stuff is as handy as it promised to be, so overdue.

 

[Kid_Eternity]

Anyone got a 3GS and running 4.3? How's your phones performance been?

Looks like you're going to have to pay more to use the tethering.

On the earphones subject Shure have a very tempting new model coming out... At £100 it's probably at the top of what anyone here would conceive of paying (except the Groke iirc), but it's low-mid price in their range. Certainly interesting to see a detachable cable for that price (or it is for me, I wear earphones all day in the workshop which makes cables a weak point) and the sound isolation on Shures is phenomenal (again, possibly not so relevant if you're not in a workshop)... Cable can also be moulded to ear shape so should be really comfortable. Dynamic driver so probably good for bass... I've generally been impressed with Shure sound quality anyway.

Also available in clear, but I reckon that might start to get a bit skanky looking. You need to buy a separate cable for smart phones too.

Fucking networks...this should just run on your data tariff...

Love the idea, but it looks like you might end up with a mile of cable...

 

[Cid]

The old models have a mini jack where the cable splits so you can change the cable length. Not sure if these ones do.

 

[editor]

What's the lumpy bit in the lead (half concealed in the coil?) And does the control lead only sit on the one cable?

 

[Lazy Llama]

Lump looks like where the two sides join, with the control only being on one side.

Not sure that I like the look of that arrangement The control bit looks quite bulky to be dangling from one lug 'ole.

 

[Cid]

Yeah, I did wonder about that myself... One of those things you can't really tell until you've tried it I suppose.

 

[dlx1]

? Anyway to get VLC app back on Itouch.
didn't sink with apps with itunes. Didn't know

 

[Sunray]

Eh?

If you have an app it will continue to be on there until you actually delete it from the phone or itunes wipes the phone.

 

[Ranbay]

Just got my iphone 4

 

[Kid_Eternity]

How are you finding the rampant issues of bad reception?

 

[Ranbay]

not stuck it on yet, still backing up the 3G... taking fucking ages

use my work phone mostly for calls anyway, this will be for playing games in the loo etc... lol

Is this the antennae issue that ive never met anyone it effects?

Yep the one and the same, I know quite a few people with an iPhone 4 and not one has had an issue. In fact I don't even ask them now as the odd looks I get got a little embarrassing.
