iPhone apps S/D

Hmm. Turning off Push in settings seems to save a lot of battery life, even though nothing I was using supported it.

anyone else marvelling at that apology from apple over me.com, then? can't post it here now -- posting this from the iPhone -- but is basically hand-wringing "we made a dick of it, lads" stuff ... and them saying they're not going to use the terminology "push" until it's a proper instant push service.

didn't realise they'd come in for so much flak about it.

We have recently completed the transition from .Mac to MobileMe. Unfortunately, it was a lot rockier than we had hoped.

Although core services such as Mail, iDisk, Sync, Back to My Mac, and Gallery went relatively smoothly, the new MobileMe web applications had lots of problems initially. Fortunately we have worked through those problems and the web apps are now up and running.

Another snag we have run into is our use of the word "push" in describing everything under the MobileMe umbrella. While all email, contact or calendar changes on the iPhone and the web apps are immediately synced to and from the MobileMe "cloud," changes made on a PC or Mac take up to 15 minutes to sync with the cloud and your other devices. So even though things are indeed instantly pushed to and from your iPhone and the web apps today, we are going to stop using the word "push" until it is near-instant on PCs and Macs, too.

We want to apologize to our loyal customers and express our appreciation for their patience by giving all current subscribers an automatic 30-day extension to their MobileMe subscription free of charge. Your extension will be reflected in your account settings within the next few weeks.

We hope you enjoy your new suite of web applications at me.com, in addition to keeping your iPhone and iPod touch wirelessly in sync with these new web applications and your Mac or PC.

Thank you,
The MobileMe Team

^^ how hard would it be to implement what they're talking about right there?

hey, fuck it: i've got a 30-day free extension on, umm, something i barely use.

They just need to roll it out in an update of iCal, etc

Turning off Push in settings seems to save a lot of battery life

Peculiar. But good to know.

which apps would use this "push" other than mail and ical? if i am sync'ing using mobileme should i just keep "push" off?

i'm keeping it off. i fucking loathe the idea of things being "pushed" at me [1]. i will check my e-mail when i want to, thank you.

[1] yes, OK, texts excepted.

but at least i rarely get texts saying "DERE GRIMLY FIENDISH YORE ACCOUNT IS OVERDUE PLEASE SEND US ALL YORE MONEY NOW".

not that i get many e-mails like that either, but you get the idea.

does pandora really work well over edge?

Aurora Feint is pretty great!

daaaamn. i just DO NOT HAVE THE TIME. but that's the kind of thing that could theoretically get me back into gaming.

pandora works great over edge because it's streaming at 56kbps mono. sounds better than you'd imagine though.

i wonder how many "free" apps will start charging? apparantly shazam will, and pandora will have audio ads.

"Remote" is awesome, a total godsend.

is there a fring client on the app store yet? it's basically like adium for iphone

www.fring.com (which I can't access at work to check if it's on app store, yet)

if so, tht must def be a killer app

it runs in the background too; not sure how they manage that... the home button only hides the app so you have to properly shut it down to exit it

is there a video recorded yet?

recorder*

fring appears to be jailbreak only from that webpage, which explains how it runs in the background.

Newe version of NYTimes app is out, handles syncing properly (but still takes its time about it)

new Facebook app

This updates brings the features you've been asking for: you can now write on your friends' walls, view their photo albums, and see their full profiles. Photo browsing is more fun now with the addition of photo tags - just hold your finger down on a photo to make them appear. Photo uploading is also much faster, and you can finally upload pictures from your library that you've previously taken. Dozens of bug fixes have also been fixed, improving stability greatly.

that's good.

there should be a master list of apps where the mobile version of the webpage is better!

make it so

i dont even have an iphone

is there an app for browsing flickr groups? as far as I'm aware m.flickr.com doesn't allow this

there is an app called Mobile Flickr which is not actually made by flickr that lets you search on flickr groups. its a pretty good app except that it posts the photos you upload upside down.

Google mobile is in the UK store now.

i have iphone now on iphone :D

someone should make an app called KITCHEN SYNC. i don't know what it does. grocery lists? keeps track of what's in your fridge?

hey, can you re-arrange icons and move em around and stuff?

yeah, press and hold on one of the icons and the screen will go all wobbly, you can then move the icons around

KITCHEN SYNC pushes details of what's in your fridge and store cupboard up to the cloud and effortlessly syncs ON IPHONE so you never run out of olive oil

now tht everyone can screenshot, ppl shd post up screengrabs of their home screen on iphone

not a lot of apps there buddy!

what's instapooper?

instapaper is great, it lets you save web pages when you're browsing on your home computer so you can read them offline on iphone

most of the clutter is on page 2, I like page 1 nice and neat

instapaper = fuckn' awesome.

yes - although not so good for pages requiring a login (where it doesn't work).

the apps store will give you the Koran for free and you can add different translations for a fee

I think this is awesome

why would you ever need to read anything offline? For the subway?

dressing rooms, tour bus when out of range, airplanes - I spend about half my life in these places

plus it's good for downloading image heavy/bigger pages when in wifi range for reading on the go (esp on iphone 2G) given mobilesafari has no cached browsing and edge is dog slow

hell its good for browsing any webpage on the go even in edge range cos edge struggles with anything other than ilx really

guys i have 4 home screens:
