iPhone apps S/D

am I gonna regret jailbreaking/unlocking my phone? is there a best program to use? I have a 3g.

nm figured it out, feelin so leet

im seriously considering jail breaking my 3gs but im scared too. however i also don't want to pay $45 a month for a hotspot. A woman at my work did hers recently. She said ATT are supposedly trying to keep an eye on bandwidth used for this reason but they aren't trying too hard. noone she knows has been busted

You Americans keep getting shafted. I pay nothing for tethering. Nothing.

NOTHING

But do you have a bandwidth limit/

yes ;_;

(but my service also works so)

it costs me 8 cents a minute to call Australia from my cellphone.

i am shutting up now

What is the name of the company that provides service to iPhones in your land?

*.*

(by that I mean we never copped network exclusivity here)

There's a new Kairosoft game out, FYI. Same folks who did GameDev Story. I like their games since you can run these little 16-bit pixel-art isometric worlds an b/c they're addicting as all hell

Synthcam is an intriguing free photography app.

Uses the video camera to create creative blur/fake bokeh as well as providing a way to take low-noise photos in low light.

I'm still getting the hang of it but already have some interesting results.

If you are amused by things like Chick tracts, get:

this must have been asked before but is there a good google apps client for phone yet?

i've just got an app that shortcuts to the web apps \(o_o)/

yeah right now i just have it saved as a web app but I'm not crazy about how it runs in safari

is there a better browser yet? chrome for iPhone?

I like icab mobile.

I mean the google app works fine but yeah, it's mostly links to web apps

The CNN app is so mindnumbingly awful.

Would anyone be able to recommend a decent "news" app? NYT is alright.

AP's isn't the worst thing in the world but I feel like someone must have done better.

The Guardian? The BBC? Reuters?

NYT w/ subscription is what i use. you can split it with a friend for $17/month (each).

Reuters looks very nice. Will give it a whirl, thx.

The photo section is sweet

McClatchy! Great and free.

I read the Guardian app the most tho

what the hell is happening with Calvetica - the developpers keep updating it beyond recognition and now explain that if I want sth that does what that app used to do (ie simple minimal calendar), I could buy their new "Tempus" app...!

yeah it's terrible. Agenda is better

James that is awesome

How on earth did they get that on the app store? I saw what looked like a similar site, advertising the "conflict free" iPhone, but it was just designed to look like the apple site.

double whoa @ phone story

can you imagine the uproar if that app had been blocked?

I bet it will be blocked shortly.

nuh-uh

yeah lukas is right. apple has much more to lose by blocking it.

the argument that "we can't control the third world, it is a net positive to support some sort of economic development there, even if local actors are twisting it toward negative ends" is how the first world sleeps at night and i'm sure that the vast majority apple consumers would be sympathetic to apple saying that too.

and...it's been banned.

haha damn - too late!

wow. well, can't say i think it's a wise move.

i think if tech sites gave a shit about global exploitation in the supply chain they would have written about it before now

ok so me and apple both made mistakes today

lol. I think this will blow up in Apple's face. It's true that most people don't give a shit about the ins and outs of 3rd world manufacturing, but this puts a fresh twist on that story. in fact I think more people probably care about the closed nature of the appstore ecosystem, which is also involved here.

Have no explanation for them destroying Calvetica. Tempus really is the best of the lot, though -- even better than Agenda and has a good iPad version.

Will check out Tempus.

I don't think this will blow up in Apple's face. People aren't going to be like "hey man, how dare they censor this game that calls out their faults". Everyone's gonna be like "of course they'd kill that" and go on with there day.

Is their "conflict-free iPhone" page still up? Apple could stop that easily too considering it's mimicry of their trademarks.

So, box.net is giving 50GB cloud storage for 50 days for iOS users. Their usual free amount is 5GB. I signed up.
