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.

Head goes goes goes (Schlafsack), Tuesday, 8 March 2011 21:32 (thirteen years ago) link

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.

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

The perfect argument for jailbreaking

Ned Raggett, Wednesday, 9 March 2011 15:32 (thirteen years ago) link

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.

mh, Wednesday, 9 March 2011 15:33 (thirteen years ago) link

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

stet, Wednesday, 9 March 2011 15:36 (thirteen years ago) link

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

goth barbershop quartet (DJP), Wednesday, 9 March 2011 15:48 (thirteen years ago) link

my 80gb classic is now my bathroom boombox

licorice oratorio (baaderonixx), Wednesday, 9 March 2011 15:53 (thirteen years ago) link

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.

OLD MAN YELLS AT SHOUT RAP (chrisv2010), Wednesday, 9 March 2011 16:07 (thirteen years ago) link

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

OLD MAN YELLS AT SHOUT RAP (chrisv2010), Wednesday, 9 March 2011 16:08 (thirteen years ago) link

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

stet, Wednesday, 9 March 2011 16:20 (thirteen years ago) link

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.

dan selzer, Wednesday, 9 March 2011 16:53 (thirteen years ago) link

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

dan selzer, Wednesday, 9 March 2011 16:56 (thirteen years ago) link

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*

goth barbershop quartet (DJP), Wednesday, 9 March 2011 16:58 (thirteen years ago) link

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.

OLD MAN YELLS AT SHOUT RAP (chrisv2010), Wednesday, 9 March 2011 17:04 (thirteen years ago) link

And we aren't allowed iTunes at work.

OLD MAN YELLS AT SHOUT RAP (chrisv2010), Wednesday, 9 March 2011 17:05 (thirteen years ago) link

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.

mh, Wednesday, 9 March 2011 17:23 (thirteen years ago) link

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.

American Fear of Pranksterism (Ed), Wednesday, 9 March 2011 17:31 (thirteen years ago) link

I stopped using my iphone for music when it became obvious that the 3G couldn't play music while it was doing anything else at all ever. That and I kept knocking it out of my hand when the headphone cable was plugged in. Also there's 90 Gb of music on my classic so

Birds (Autumn Almanac), Wednesday, 9 March 2011 21:22 (thirteen years ago) link

Also that time I went to Qld for two weeks and discovered on DAY ONE that that old iphone bug had hidden ALL MY MUSIC and the only way to fix it was to go home and sync.

Birds (Autumn Almanac), Wednesday, 9 March 2011 21:24 (thirteen years ago) link

Safari really does feel a LOT faster in 4.3.

JimD, Wednesday, 9 March 2011 21:27 (thirteen years ago) link

cant do 4.3 until official jailbreak is out.

Interesting idea for the notification system.

Yeah, just buy one of these for $5 (or a generic one if you trust that, for $1.70) and plug it into a USB port of your computer at work. Cheaper than getting a charger.

Alba, Wednesday, 9 March 2011 21:49 (thirteen years ago) link

hey is there a remote to control my docked ipod in the car.

It's getting closer but that's still a v small target for a finger and probably goes against every Apple HIG there is (let's pretend for a sec that Apple never breaches its own HIG).

Safari is definitely faster and personal hotspot has already saved me $150. WIN.

Head goes goes goes (Schlafsack), Wednesday, 9 March 2011 22:05 (thirteen years ago) link

personal hotspot? is that a 4.3 thing?? I JUST bought mywi

ullr saves (gbx), Wednesday, 9 March 2011 22:40 (thirteen years ago) link

I think the verizon phone had it enabled off the bat, but yeah, it's an addition to the tethering for 4.3

mh, Wednesday, 9 March 2011 22:41 (thirteen years ago) link

It is a 4.3 thing, I think it's dependent on your carrier though xp

Head goes goes goes (Schlafsack), Wednesday, 9 March 2011 22:42 (thirteen years ago) link

personal hotspot is $45 on at&t?!?!?!!

Head goes goes goes (Schlafsack), Wednesday, 9 March 2011 22:44 (thirteen years ago) link

you guys are unlimited data y/n

Head goes goes goes (Schlafsack), Wednesday, 9 March 2011 22:45 (thirteen years ago) link

It depends on when you signed up. I don't think they have any unlimited data plans now, just 200MB/2GB?

mh, Wednesday, 9 March 2011 22:46 (thirteen years ago) link

Ah. I have 3 Gb/month here and no tethering fee (hence $150 saving on ipad and kindle purchases).

Head goes goes goes (Schlafsack), Wednesday, 9 March 2011 22:48 (thirteen years ago) link

ahhh. I got grandfathered in with unlimited data. sticking with mywi thx
