Apple iPhone and related items (cont.)

:cool: Some of those look good.

I reckon you're ok in an office enviornment without a case but BF is a builder and he wrecks phones, I did try and persuade him to just give it to me :oops::D

Apple removes NDA for developers
http://developer.apple.com/iphone/program/
For released software anyway.
So (I think) if your app gets refused you're still not allowed to talk about it?

Ah, what this actually means is that the whole development process is now out of NDA. Only pre-release Apple software is still covered (Beta firmware etc.)

This means normal communications between developers, tutorials, books etc. can now happen. Sanity!
 
I bought the Proporta crystal case.

No screen protector. The glass of the 3G seems pretty good comapred to the 2G. No scratches yet. So i may not bother. I hate the way some screen protectors make the screen look. Plus i always end up with bubbles :(

It's a sensible and long overdue move. I wonder how much the announcement of Android played apart in their decision reversal.

It still looks like developers who get turned down by Apple will still be gagged though, seeing as Apple's statement notably refers to dropping the NDA for "released iPhone software."

There now needs to be some clarity from Apple about how iPhone apps are accepted or rejected.

Note my correction above - after reading about this, the NDA applies to Apple software - ie. the OS and the SDK, not the developer's software.

I followed the instructions to the letter and didn't get any bubbles apart from one where there is a bit of dust but not on the screen. its not quite on straight but you cant really tell its got a protector unless you look closely.
 
I might be getting an iPhone for free! :D

It's only a 1st gen 4 gigger but and it's only a loan but still...my flat mate has one which is just gathering dust on her shelf and she just offered it to me on loan indefinitely.

I was already thinking of switching to O2 soon so gonna do that and borrow the iPhone to try it out for a while to see how it handles as a replacement for my Centro. :cool:

I couldn't live with it crooked. I'd take it off and try again and fuck it up.
 
I am getting drawn towards the iphone now...

Been resisting but the positives seem to outweigh the negatives

Keeping it brief...

Positives
Interface is great
Looks/feels nice to use

Negatives
I do not like itunes
I like to forward text messages for work
I like bluetoothing files

The main reason I guess is that I have been using Sony Ericsson for so many years now and have everything in my life set up around this. So hassle and fear of change may be at the heart of my misgivings.
 
Hmmm only the forwarding text messages is a negative for me, I never bluetooth files (typically email them though from my phone) and don't mind iTunes. Even no text forwarding isn't a deal breaker thinking about it...
 
The SMS app is probably the worst application on there and if you want to forward text then forget it till they release a big update. It doesn't do anything apart from send and receive text in a slightly nice way.

This phone is a little function lite right now. Needs to be beefed up with some functionality that everyone has come to expect from a phone these days.
 
LOL. Totally. Still anything that shakes the market up is a good thing :cool:

I'm quite liking this little programme called Fring which lets you make calls from (and to) an iPod Touch using VOIP. Has to be cheaper than an iPhone contract either way.

Demo here:
 
Yeh I was wondering if you can use skype or VOIP on iphones. We just had it out today but it's been packed away til the protector comes, I know what he's like with phones! :D

It is rather good though and I am v. jealous :cool:
 
Fring is nearly the dream application except it does not work on a 3g connection. I already have 600 minutes free, I'm hardly going to be using Voip to call.

But I can now call 0800 numbers for free (02 charge me extortionately) when I am on Wi-fi, which given that my conference bridge for meetings is an 0800 number (no land line phone in the house) its an application of real use to me.

I use it for messenger, to tell my mates to go look for their phone when I can't get through.

Hmm...so that's a not then?

You can shout at people on messenger though can't you? :D

Can you hook i-phones up to laptops to use as modems or not? :hmm:
 
I've been using Palringo for messenger. Supports smilees and sending pictures and voice n stuff.

You can in theory flip the sim out and use it for a laptop but the fair usage policy means that they'll do you if they catch you.

No. An app that did this was pulled from the App Store.

And just about every other messenger platform out there on Fring, voice and text on wi-fi.

I'm after a decent lether case that'll protect an iphone. Any recommendations?

This looks nice :)

Click to expand...

be careful about the leather cases, I bought one in Hong Kong for my Ipod which I now use for my i-phone. The leather can obstruct the sensor that can tell if it is near your face, rendering the screen blank and unable to end the call.

Hence lots of calls from friends asking why I had left four minutes of nothing on their answerphone.

Took me two months to work it out :confused:

just a warning in case you think your iphone has gone tits up.
