Many have referred to the iPhone as the “Jesus phone”.
Well, why not make good ol’ Jesus of Nazareth your iPhone wallpaper? Just download this image in its full 320×480 beloved glory and save it to your photo sync folder so you can select it as your wallpaper. Next time you turn on your [...]
What is the motivation behind destroying brand new consumer electronics such as the iPhone?
I don’t mean disassembling an iPhone for research and component information, I mean taking a sledgehammer to a brand new $500 iPhone.
I don’t get it, but here’s a compilation of iPhone destruction videos. Cringe away!
#1 Blending the iPhone
Blendtec, no stranger [...]
After a good week’s worth of use, I’ve decided to keep the iPhone, but that doesn’t mean it doesn’t have its fair share of problems or missing features. Most notable is its built in email client which is a terrific start, but falls short when compared to other mobile phone email clients.
My guess is [...]
Exactly one week ago I took the plunge and snagged an iPhone at my local Starbucks (what, Apple didn’t tell you that you could buy one at Apple stores, AT&T stores, and now Starbucks?) After the initial excitement of having the coolest gadget in the world wore off, I began to really use the [...]
Yes, according to TMC Labs‘ Tom Keating, Skype is now possible on the iPhone via an AJAX-enabled web application. While still a bit kludgey for me as it requires you to install SoonR Talk on your PC, it does enable you to keep in touch with your Skype contacts for now, until Apple opens [...]
So this is, er, interesting. After deleting a few messages in one of my Inboxes on my iPhone, it reported to me that I had 2 billion unread messages. And they were all unread! Where have I been? I need to get on the ball!
Usually the bug I see is “-1 [...]
I first read about this tip from waitingforiphone.com which leads you a page at O’Reilly’s website. Here’s the skinny. The keyboard layout on the iPhone is great for the most part, unless you want to get to the numbers and punctuation marks via the “.?123″ key in the lower left-hand corner. Normally [...]
Of all the dastardly things to do, Apple forgot to include the popular clown fish background photo on the iPhone.
No problem. I found it. Click here to download it. Just sync it with the rest of your iPhone photos and set it as the background. It is sized perfectly (320 x [...]
Slingbox is one of those “nice to have” features on my Motorola Q phone. It allows me to stream television from my home to my phone, through the Verizon EVDO network. It works very well, actually. The SlingPlayer is supported on Windows Mobile and Palm devices, but not yet the Apple iPhone.
With AT&T’s slow EDGE [...]
If this is true, it is quite incredible.
According to waitingforiphone.com, over 1,000,000 iPhones have been activated since its launch on June 29th. That’s less than 7 days… at $500-$600 a pop, you do the math.
That’s an amazing new product launch for any company. Launched only in the U.S., availability of the iPhone in [...]
I understand Apple being, well, Apple-centric, but to completely ignore .wav email attachments is being a tad bit too narrow-minded, considering the Windows OS market share. My business’ voice mail system (onebox.com) sends me an email with a .wav file attachment when a new voice mail message arrives. If I’m on my Windows [...]
The other night when I went through the AT&T sign-up process, it took all of about 5 minutes (if that) and I was able to start loading my new iPhone up with all sorts of goodies and play with it the first time.
In order to put the iPhone to real world tests I had to [...]
Earlier I said that I would start blogging about problems (and solutions) I found with the iPhone, or really cool things I found. My first blog is about a problem and a solution.
One of the absolute coolest things about the iPhone that it has “the best iPod ever” integrated right into it. Man, [...]
I converged, again.
Now before you start throwing stones at me for turning my back on Windows Mobile and Verizon, allow me to explain!
I have been a loyal Verizon Wireless customer since the days when it was called Airtouch Cellular (I believe VZW acquired Airtouch) and my phone of choice was a brick-sized Panasonic phone. [...]
Well how about this… Verizon announced today that it has doubled the speed of their EVDO network. Prior to this announcement speeds ranged from 400 kbps to 700 kbps. Effective June 29, 2007 speeds are to increase from 600 kbps to 1.4 megabits per second with faster uploads speeds ranging 500-800 kbps.
I put [...]
