iPhone apps S/D

Wow, I am (unfortunately) still a Chase customer AND I got a check today!! I will try this now!

woah, this is crazy. i just deposited a dozen checks at chase today. if i had read this first, i would've tried it instead.

USAA has had mobile deposits for 6 months or so now. It really is remarkable. Every time I deposit a check ON IPHONE, I think, "Man I am like living in the fucking Jetsons here and am completely jaded about it."

Yeah next week I'll totally be all FUCK CHASE my breakfast is 2 minutes late what is this shit????

what do you do with the check after the mobile deposit

bring it to the bank

do you really? i was hoping you could just destroy it or whatever.

You keep it until deposit has cleared.

Ok I did this but it was a little bit of hassle. I say that, but I mean, it's not like I even got off the sofa haha

Would clearly work best with a flat, printed check lit by a 2500k bulb

Yeah, I just toss my checks in the shredder once the deposit posts.

not an app question, but since this is the main ON IPHONE thred:

before I left .au I got my network provider people to unlock my phone (3G) - they said okey dokey, just restore it and you should be sweet
I backed it up and restored it from the backup
then I put a UK sim with credit on it into the phone and left my regular sim at home

now I am in teh londons and I have no service, and I can't even get wireless in free wireless places.

questions:
1) if I backup my phone on someone else's computer*, then restore TO FACTORY SETTINGS, and THEN restore from backup, should it work with the UK sim and have all my contacts and texts and photos and music back?
2) if this DOESN'T work, is it safe or foolish to pay a wee bloke in a tiny shop in Chinatown a tenner to unlock it? will they lose any of my data? will they steal my identity and blackmail me to pay them to delete my incriminating photos of ilxors licking their own elbows?

*I would have tried this already but the laptop I am using only has 3gb space on it

morning bump

i do not know about iphones very much, but i know that in the uk you can only get an iphone with a contract? so it might be that no pay-as-you-go sim will work with an iphone, at all.

I have managed to get it working for wireless now - think phone/txt SHOULD be okay once I top up. If my contract provider from home had *Apple* unlock it, UK contract restrictions should be n & v, fingers crossed

posting this ON IPHONE tbqh

yeah i was going to say you need no plan for wi-fi. pp has been using my iphone 1 for years without a plan. no phone calls or edge obv, but still usable like an ipod touch.

STEVIE'S FIRST IPHONE is arriving in the mail some time today!!! I am so stupidly eager. I have no idea what to get first.

Are there any good 808 clones?

yeah I see what he meant but it irks me when I see how ATT have managed to get everyone calling it iphone 4G when no 4G networks have been launched.

Not even sure why I called it that. I can assure you that ATT hasn't duped me into believing it runs on a imaginary 4G network.

And if there's any general consumer confusion, I wouldn't blame it all on ATT.

I finally got the belatedly released powersupport crystal film for front and back (I'm extremely paranoid about screen scratches) and got rid of my Apple Bumper. While the bumper looks good, it looks so much better without a case and I'm in love with the phone all over again. The design is really beautiful. Any minor antenna antennuation is certainly no worse than other phones I've had.

I can't replicate the attenuation consistently.

i listened to a tech podcast from when the Iphone 3G was released the other day and they were saying it was called 3G because thats the network it runs on even though the infrastructure was barely there. So, yeah, Apple tryin' to mess with people too shocka.

Netflix streaming is now available for iPhone/iPod touch: http://gizmodo.com/5622368/you-can-now-stream-netflix-movies-and-tv-shows-on-iphone-and-ipod-touch

re: Netflix on iPhone, it's official -- I can carry a library of movies and music around wherever I go? We are living in the future.

couldn't you do that already with the iphone?

Netflix lib way bigger than what I could rip to my iphone

is it streaming over 3g kinda thing

3g and Wi-Fi. It syncs with your Netflix account and you can watch whatever's in your queue or search for other stuff.

lofi is the new hifi

3.5in screens are the new 56in screens

I didn't know it could do it over 3G, wow!

Can barely get email over 3G sometimes so ymmv

wish I could do this over here, I can pull 5-600 kb/s on 3G. < / braggin >

im also addicted to drop7 but i am fucking awful at it

OMG I just discovered this (on my ipad). My husband said it was an old game. I AM SO ADDICTED TO THIS. 234000 so far.

I am going to get the iphone4. Can't resist. lol

Yeah drop7 is crack. Now even thinking of buying the soundtrack on iTunes

the couple of weeks we went without drop7 following the iOS 4 rollout was painful

^^^real talk

Jeez this sounds like it might be the first app I actually pay for.

Can you guys recommend me your preferred free:
AIM/IM client
RSS reader

I've already settled on Echofon for Twitter and I quite like it.

Rss reader: for iPad I would say Reeder without any doubt. For iPhone I might give a small edge to Byline
As for IM: been happy for a while with Nimbuzz, which I also use on my desktop

reeder for iphone has gotten buggier lately. also, not free. (though worth a few bucks imo)

is flipboard a good rss reader?

It's visually pleasing and fun for a while but I can't imagine using it that seriously

It's not really an RSS reader, either.

here's the dope promo video:

My wife's entire life is about to change completely.

Stevie, NetNewsWire for RSS is great. Sorry I couldn't get back to you with a real answer. Baby was wanting daddy. :)

Has anyone used the L5 Remote app/thingy (phone as universal remote)?
