New Apple Lust Objects for 2010 and onward

I think of it like that study about people with messy desks being organized, because everything is piled up in sight and they know where it is and it's sorted by how recent it is and not filed away all organized and alphabetized. Somehow I know that I just swipe over 2 screens to get to the stuff I want to read, but if I want a remote control for my audio software I go digging in the music folder.

so very true

ok i just re-organized because MH called my interface ASS. Haha.

Still too cluttered?

Oh man, I didn't mean to harsh your theme choice, but I mostly thought the theme wasn't really to my taste and the lock screen looked crowded.

Like I can't figure out why it's showing anything at all when you don't have a SMS, Mail message, or Missed call.

ah see i like my lock screen that way, plus it helps for work. ive been playing around with themes a lot, there aren't very many nice ones for a 3gs. and im also testing out that plug-in for notifications...typically i use intelliscreen which only puts stuff on the lockscreen when i have some things.

i love this lockscreen design, just too much work.

much cleaner.

Yeah, I saw that one a while back and was kind of impressed. I'm also on a 3gs, but just don't care enough to fuck with jailbreaking and installing extra shit.

i like this one?

jailbreaking literally took all of 3 minutes.

the main reason i jailbroke it was for BiteSms, which has quick reply, which is fucking great.

They keep up on new versions pretty quickly these days, right? I just didn't care to keep up on what had/hadn't been jailbroken, etc.

I've also had iOS 4.3 installed for a while now and am too attached to the new streaming.

yeah they get updated quick.

chris i think your first screen was fine and quite neat. Id move the folders to the bottom of the page but thats just me. I like your icons. It doesnt look like a toddler who has been eating crayons all day puked on your screen like mine does.

why doesn't he just use airplane mode when he's being important cant be interrupted guy on his iphone? (xp)

i think the idea is to make something that works better or you know just works - airplane mode or jailbreak customizations or w/e are hacky approaches that should ideally be unnecessary

I don't jailbreak mine because I like my phone to be reliable and work and etc BUT as a decades-old Linux fanboy I love that jailbreaking exists and that it's come so far and continues to keep up. All of this screenshots make me quiver iirc.

I'd be down with that notification scheme. Better then the webOS-esque one everyone was blogging about a week or two ago.

my phone is reliable and works like the day i bought it.

yeah that mobilenotifier thing didn't work with bitesms, so i got rid of it.

xp The one that shares a screen with Spotlight? Yeah, it's the only one I've seen so far that isn't shithouse in some way (and even then the initial pop-up bar at the bottom is horrible).

I'm still a bit weird about iphone jailbreaking because I've had friends who would have to restart their phones twice a day.

IMO using the screen real estate available when you pull up the running apps bar would be pretty sweet.

never have had to restart, plus now there are on the fly backups so if it does crash, it restarts with everything intact.

Wow, that's pretty decent.

Re notifications: anything that blocks a row of home buttons is out. I don't know why people are even mocking up that shit.

i've never had any problems with my jailbroken phone

Why is everyone so excited about a 64 Gb iphone? God Apple fanboys shit me sometimes.

The perfect argument for jailbreaking

sometimes, huh

btw I posted that in the wrong thread, soz.

i carry around an iphone and a touch. i dont keep music on my phone.

Same here.

?!?!?!? o_O ?!?!?!?!?!

...yeah I'm with Ed here. I don't get that.

I had an iPod touch that I used for approximately one more day after getting an iPhone because IT'S THE SAME DEVICE.

I can kind of understand people who carry around an iPod Classic or whatever since it has a much higher capacity, but even then, it seems kind of ridiculous to me.

64gb would be a great size for me; wld let me carry around my main iTunes music library (w/out videos etc).

i have an 80GB classic but after i got an iphone i sort of forgot i own it

do you guys also carry around an iPad and a Macbook Pro

my 80gb classic is now my bathroom boombox

i do carry around an ipad too....guilty. well my phone is 16gb, which is not nearly enough for my music...my touch is 64, which suits.

one day when i have enough money i will carry around a macbook.

i carried around a MacBook Air, iPad and two iPhones the other day. It all weighed less than a PB G4.

I listen to my iPod touch all day at work and while commuting. I like to know that I'm not going to run out of battery on my phone. I carry it in my bag. My phone is in my pocket.

I also carry my Mac Pro around with me. It's strapped to my back with bungee cords.

If I get a charger to keep in the office I'll probably ditch the iPod Touch for this purpose.

see there's thing thing called a "charging cord" that you can plug into your computer via a USB port or the wall via an adapter that will basically guarantee yr battery will never die

this is how I play my iPhone music library through my work computer's iTunes, and I only have to carry two electronic devices because I am segregating the work phone from the personal phone

xp: lol but I typed too much to discard *arms crossed*

Ah see I have a charger which I use at work for my touch. Plus I'm constanty using my phone for work things since I'm on the road a lot. It's easier to carry both.

And we aren't allowed iTunes at work.

I have an iPod dock at work but I never start iTunes! I use it for charging and for a line out port because I am a complete dork and have it attached to a headphone amplifier.

One of the big irritations about the iPhone is I can't use it to keep my work and home iTunes in sync. Yes you can hack Itunes so two copies on different machines speak to it but unless you keep your sync settings and playlists exactly the same it ends up futzing with what is on the iPhone.
