I'm really digging Lumen, btw. (i.e. not embarrassing app)

as in WHO THE EFF CHARGES FOR A COWBELL APP
― Autumn Almanac, Tuesday, 26 August 2008 21:39 (seventeen years ago)
what is the "PLUS"
― s1ocki, Tuesday, 26 August 2008 22:04 (seventeen years ago)
Does NNW work yet?
Also, there's a free "Scorched Earth" game now. 'Cannon' something.
― kingfish, Tuesday, 26 August 2008 22:23 (seventeen years ago)
nice!
― s1ocki, Tuesday, 26 August 2008 22:25 (seventeen years ago)
is anyone getting errors sticking new versions of apps on?
― s1ocki, Tuesday, 26 August 2008 22:26 (seventeen years ago)
Been using it solidly for the past couple of weeks.
― Elvis Telecom, Wednesday, 27 August 2008 00:09 (seventeen years ago)
I have no problems with it that make it unuseable.
― Autumn Almanac, Wednesday, 27 August 2008 00:25 (seventeen years ago)
A crash during the 2.02 firmware upgrade last night caused me to lose all my apps. :( But I was able to get most of them back, so hooray. Plus, 2.02 really did improve my 3G connectivity, so double hooray!

What is the NNW icon meant to represent? Looks like a pokémon.
― Autumn Almanac, Wednesday, 27 August 2008 07:23 (seventeen years ago)
I guess it's an upside down speech bubble poking out of a cloud. And then in the bottom right corner, a tiny metoerite is landing on a notepad.
― JimD, Wednesday, 27 August 2008 08:33 (seventeen years ago)
It's a small portion of the regular NNW icon - a satellite orbiting the Earth.
― Elvis Telecom, Wednesday, 27 August 2008 08:39 (seventeen years ago)
ohhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh.
― Autumn Almanac, Wednesday, 27 August 2008 09:47 (seventeen years ago)
you think the earth looks like pokémon

instapaper pay-for version = less-useful rip-off
― stet, Wednesday, 27 August 2008 21:47 (seventeen years ago)
Why bother? The free one's good enough.
― Autumn Almanac, Wednesday, 27 August 2008 21:49 (seventeen years ago)
I don't get why they offer a paid version of a free app that already does everything 99% of people want.
― Autumn Almanac, Wednesday, 27 August 2008 21:50 (seventeen years ago)
NNW keeps locking & crashing on me
― kingfish, Wednesday, 27 August 2008 21:51 (seventeen years ago)
ya honestly i find NNW is still so buggy its useless
― s1ocki, Wednesday, 27 August 2008 22:15 (seventeen years ago)
doesnt sync properly either... folders thing... etc etc
Nothing like that here.
― Autumn Almanac, Wednesday, 27 August 2008 23:02 (seventeen years ago)
gps tracker!
― Catsupppppppppppppp dude 茄蕃, Wednesday, 27 August 2008 23:14 (seventeen years ago)
OK - you NNW freaks officially need your own thread. Aren't there other cool apps we can talk about? Anyone using BeatMaker regularly?
― schwantz, Wednesday, 27 August 2008 23:21 (seventeen years ago)
Why bother? The free one's good enough. I wanted the remember-where-you-are thingy, and I liked it enough that I want to pay the dude for it. All the reviews of other apps going "Ya totly awesum app but SHLD BE FREE one star" piss me off, but saying that, £6 is steep
― stet, Wednesday, 27 August 2008 23:29 (seventeen years ago)
remember-where-you-are? What's that do?
― Autumn Almanac, Wednesday, 27 August 2008 23:51 (seventeen years ago)
New version of Frotz will extract .dat files from .zip files.
― Autumn Almanac, Thursday, 28 August 2008 01:21 (seventeen years ago)
It keeps your place in a long document, which is v. handy
― stet, Thursday, 28 August 2008 01:37 (seventeen years ago)
How does it integrate with things that use documents?
I'd check the app before asking but I don't know what it's called.
― Autumn Almanac, Thursday, 28 August 2008 01:57 (seventeen years ago)
i think it's more that the free one is so good, rather than that this one isn't worth $10. also in what way is it less useful? i'm finding it much more so (remembering place in document, deleting pages).
― toby, Thursday, 28 August 2008 05:43 (seventeen years ago)
Frotz 1.0.1 is out and it extracts dats from zips. I just installed every compatible Infocom game, whoo.
― Autumn Almanac, Thursday, 28 August 2008 05:53 (seventeen years ago)
yes rip-off is wrong, it just feels like much too much of the price is donation rather than for getting features.
I think it is less useful because of the honking great bar at the bottom to turn on tilt scrolling, which I don't like at all.
Jesus, mobile safari's keyboard is some laggy shit in 2.2
― stet, Thursday, 28 August 2008 13:36 (seventeen years ago)
Tilt in Safari keeps not working.

Air Sharing. Free. For a while. That is all.
― J, Thursday, 11 September 2008 01:20 (seventeen years ago)
NNW latest release is hell of buggy.
― BLONGE (Autumn Almanac), Thursday, 11 September 2008 01:26 (seventeen years ago)
Fucking Aurora Feint update screwed the game for me. Lost my character and i can't get past the initial game tutorial.
― kingfish, Thursday, 11 September 2008 02:27 (seventeen years ago)
Thanks for the Air Sharing tip! Nice little useful app.
― schwantz, Thursday, 11 September 2008 02:36 (seventeen years ago)
The 2.1 firmware prevents Frotz playing any games it didn't come with. I think this is an insurmountable fucking problem.
― BLONGE (Autumn Almanac), Thursday, 11 September 2008 03:08 (seventeen years ago)
lol I was just coming here to post about Air Sharing
― lol (HI DERE), Thursday, 11 September 2008 03:14 (seventeen years ago)
also lol at The Game app
― lol (HI DERE), Thursday, 11 September 2008 03:17 (seventeen years ago)
air sharing and stanza are so good!!
― hereinfereindryalin (cozwn), Thursday, 11 September 2008 03:23 (seventeen years ago)
OTM.
I wish there was an app to receive bluetooth files, but it's against the SDK rules.

Which Twitter app is the best? I like Twitterrific but haven't looked at many of the others. Ned needs a good one.
― html tarsier (Catsupppppppppppppp dude 茄蕃), Thursday, 11 September 2008 17:42 (seventeen years ago)
All the effing rules on the iPhone are weak. My Sony phone could tether, drag-and-drop mp3s in the finder/Windows Explorer, and copy files to and from the device over Bluetooth. iPhone? You have to use iTunes to manage MP3s, and god forbid you try to copy them FROM the iPhone (and I actually have MP3s that I CREATED and have copyright for), no tethering allowed, and no bluetooth file management. Plus, no USB file storage. It's weak.
― schwantz, Thursday, 11 September 2008 17:57 (seventeen years ago)

Did you actually think this was going to be different from the last 4 years of Apple mobile products? STFU & take it here: I HATE APPLE

Not that I didn't BUY one... It's more of a love/hate thing.

its like having a gifted child who just wont try
― Bright Future (sunny successor), Thursday, 11 September 2008 18:49 (seventeen years ago)
actually i'm a little fed up with the way my iphone handles email--
it takes forever to download the headers, and then sometimes even longer to download the message content. anyone else experience this? (i'm still on the edge iphone)
lately i've been yearning for the days of instant blackberry email. shiiit.
― cutty, Thursday, 11 September 2008 18:58 (seventeen years ago)
I haven't noticed on my iphone. But the way the text messages look is AWESOME. I do mind the automatic spelling checker. :-( Half the time I don't notice so it switches words. Other than that, it ROCKS. I have an iphone. YAY.
― stevienixed, Thursday, 11 September 2008 19:02 (seventeen years ago)
yeah, cutty is otm abt the loading times of on iphone e-mail
there's so much wrong with it, but it's still by far and away the best phone/electronics I've ever owned
