iphone 3G car charger.. part II A while back I shared what looked like a great deal for a car charger for the 3G since my old iphone car charger does not work anymore… Well, had a few problems with it, but to ‘MyNetDeals’ credit, they replaced it with the proper unit. Seems there are still a few units out there that does not work… Read More
Cheap iphone docking station from ebay I wrote about this before, link here, and it finally came in the mail. Well, it works. There was one thing I though was kinda cheap, using a sticker on the remote to make you think it had a display. Cheesy. Second I had the impression the remote was going recharged. Nope. Just a… Read More
PwnPlayer coming soon! Freedom from itunes!! Sweettt. Can’t wait for this. I would have to say my main complaint for playing music on the iPhone is having to type in a password just to advance a song. Well, looks like we have an app on the way to take care of that issue. I also do not care for itunes, freedom!!… Read More
Review of TrailGuru as a bicycle computer At last count, I think there are around 7 or 8 iphone applications you can use for GPS logging. I have not tried them all, but I did give TrailGuru a try. I tested TrailGuru on the ebike on a short ride to the grocery. Like Path Tracker (reviewed here) the iPhone takes a GPS samples and… Read More
Rumor control: Will iPhone 2.2 have Google street view .. umm yeah. justanotheriphoneblog.com did a quick post on the rumors of what 2.2 will have and mentioned Google street view. Unless Google does something to mess Apple up, it would only make sense that it would. Here are my reasons why I’m going to bet on it.. 1) Android already has it. Although I cannot see Apple… Read More
Traveling overseas? Still want to use your iphone for calls? Enter Fring I just did a post when I first installed Fring, but it dawned on me, this could be quite useful for those traveling overseas. A friend just crossed the pond and was looking to still use his iPhone. I looked into various solutions, but short of a 3rd party SMS service via jailbreak, I… Read More
Fring – VoiP and IM chat on the iPhone About time. I downloaded this, singed into my skype account and give it a shot. The sound quality was not all that great, but usable. Fring is NOT a jailbreak app so that means anyone can use it. The app is free in the app store, so I would grab this if you ever use… Read More
iBowl on the iPhone – iphone vs. wii? ok, so I saw a few tweets about this and decided to give it a shot. And I have to agree, this is pretty cool. Kinda like the wii in a way. I like that I can curve the ball by twisting the iPhone towards the end of release. Now the only downside. I can… Read More
Sarah Palin vs. Obama from a cartoonist point of view A friend of mine ask ‘why would McCain choose Palin?’ In my opinion, I think McCain was trying to find someone on the ticket to take on the ‘rock star’ effect that Obama has as well as someone who could excite the conservative base which John has not been able to do to date, both… Read More
Politics and the iPhone – The new Obama app I was quite impressed with this application when I first loaded it up. Basically, it’s the perfect tool for any field organiser or volenteer to get involved with the campaign. But more importantly, it indicates an understanding of the way people (mostly 20 and 30 somethings) are interacting with information and each other. The iPhone… Read More
Flash is still coming to the iphone… wait for it.. wait for it.. Keep waiting…. From flashmagazine At the Flash On The Beach (FOTB) conference in Brighton, Sr. Director of Engineering at Adobe Systems Paul Betlem, confirmed that Adobe is indeed developing a Flash Player for the iPhone. However, Apple calls the shots as to when it’ll be available. Well, this is not telling us anything new. We already… Read More
shopping for an iphone cradle and remote control Seems like everyone is getting iphones now a days including my brother. At least around here. An iphone is not for everyone and pretty soon I will post up a list of reasons NOT to get an iphone.. But this post is about something he just bought. Its a doc for the iphone with a… Read More
PDAnet (aka NetShare) is out. Its time to tether When NetShare first came out, I did not download it because … bah, I do not remember why not. However, once it was pulled off the app store, I really wish I did. I do not need tethering that often, in fact, I only rememeber wishing I had it once, but in the jailbreak world,… Read More
Review of Path Tracker as an iphone bike computer I did a survey of the various navigation apps out there and decided to give Path Tracker a try. It was only 99c. Path Tracker is not like TrackThing where you get a graph and stats on the iphone. Instead, data is uploaded to a website as with GPS Tracker. Except I never could get… Read More
no headphone jack on the Abdroid G1 … FTW? Really? I mean com’on ere! You have to buy a ExtUSB thats not even out yet? Wow. So its great news that Amazon has a mp3 store all set up and ready to go. You just have to wait to hear it. Gezzz… Update: seems some people are saying in various comments that you can… Read More
Caution: an email offering free iphone apps could be a virus I have not seen this myself, but I thought I would spread the warning anyway. Anytime you see an email offering free stuff, odds are your going to get something for free, but not what you expected.… Read More
0xE800002E….Error when updating an app on the iphone A friend of mine was having this problem and found a thread discussing it here.. Ok so I first saw an issue with this after upgrading to the latest firmware on my iPhone. In the past I could update my apps through my iphone then transfer to iTunes later now I cannot update AND it… Read More
My top 5 jailbrake (pwn) apps for the iphone When I jailbreak my iphone, here are the first 5 apps I install straight off. 1) Unix tools (esp. SSH and Terminal) . If you have to ask, you do not need it 2) Videorecoder – The only bummer is this app does not work on 2.1 right now. I use QIK for now. Its curious… Read More
Did the iphone 2.1 update reduce dropped calls? Not at first.. I’ve talked about this before, using the iphone field test to get numbers instead of bars to see what kind of reception you are getting on your phone. When I checked my phone before 2.1, I used to get -99 to -107 db on my couch. Once I updated to 2.1, I was still getting… Read More
