fucking a

I had just convinced myself that I was going to get a Mac and the iPhone app SDK so I could build a World of Warcraft achievement viewer app and what happens? Blizzard announces a full ARMORY application that covers exactly what I was going to do.

fuckers

they have an app coming out tomorrow for those of you that took stet's advice a few months accountsand got a photo storage account with dropbox

anyone try the new space invaders from taito? looks like the iphone's rez

excited by the Dopplr app - anyone used it? It seems it could finally get right what Around Me and its clones have been aiming for.

Where's this dropbox app at?

apple rejected it because it could be used to transfer lady chatterly's lover.

Zenonia is a great jrpg for the iphone.

This new Space Invaders is pretty rad, headphones a must.

Anyone try Monkey Island ON IPHONE yet?

MI = awesom

This is as good a place as any to ask; is there a way to do ctrl-f / Apple-f on an iPhone touch keyboard?

no-one try space invaders infinity gene then? I'm waiting for the inevitable £0.59 sale

Civilization Revolution for iPhone now too! Pity I recently bought it for DS (though it's probably less cramped on DS). I'm still waiting hopefully for Catan.

likely no one cares except for me but, aside from not including faction rep, the WoW Armory app is pretty frickin' sweet

the armory app is really nice. it has crashed on me a few times, though. too bad i don't really play any more.

Does anybody know a company that will insure iphones? Apparently i applied for Applecare a day too late.

no love for the bird identifier app yet?? it's incredible!

http://www.ibirdexplorer.com/

it's better than the peterson app, which makes me sad because i like peterson in general (and used to update their web site)

i have bird explorer pro and it's my single fav. app.

also the Underworld iDrum is pretty fucking spectacular.

sickly, from the home screen swipe to the right and you'll get the search bar. i assume by apple + f you wanted to search.

No love for UK birds :(

uk birds are mingers

First sentence in that article is amazing

Herve Jaubert, a French spy who left espionage to make leisure submarines for the wealthy, was riding high.

SHIT wrong thread. But it's still a great opening.

leisure submarines apps are rejected by apple anyway.

just walked home in a torrential downpour with IPHONE safely zipped in the pocket of my waterproof jacket, and now the motherfucker won't turn on

i'm fucked, right?

let it dry out for 24 hours if possible and do not plug it into anything.

if it doesn't turn on in 48 hours you're probably fucked. After that long, I'd plug it in and see if the computer recognizes it.

If it does turn on and things return to normal, the warranty is probably void. You can check the moisture sensors in cord slot at the bottom of the phone...if the dot is pink, you're fucked. There's actually another moisture sensor in the headphone jack, I'm pretty sure.

good luck. I hope you are not fucked.

can anyone recommend a newsreader?

does netnewswire work yet?

Definitely Byline, which wold with Google Reader and the new Mac NNW

Wold? Fucking iPhone. Works.

pretty sure i'm fucked

NewsGator dumped support for their public/non-corporate RSS service and told everyone to go to Google Reader. NetNewsWire Mac 3.2 beta works with Google right now, but NNW iPhone 2.0 (for Google Reader support) hasn't been released yet. According to the developer (and it's just one guy who's developing both of these) NNW iPhone 2 won't be ready for awhile - probably after NNW Mac 3.2 is done.

Bottom line, use the mobile version of Google Reader (which works surprisingly well)

Definitely Byline, which wold with Google Reader and the new Mac NNW

Does Byline still have the hard limit of 200 feeds?

yeah, i've always found it to be fine. wondering what makes Byline worth paying for (totally willing to pay if Byline is demonstrably better) xp

Byline is great and totally worth it. I've bought it real early on when it was buggy as hell, but they've finally got a solid product going.

Not sure about the 200 feeds thing. I only have 114 subscriptions and regularly prune my feeds, so I haven't encountered that.

Twitterific Premium updated today.

Jergins: the offline caching is totally worth it for me. It even stores copies of the linked pages for starred items. Used it a lot on holiday -- fill up on wifi, then read on plane.

ahhh, yayaya ya ya offline. wow. that's brilliant. i'm staring a 14 hour flight in the face and that would help. buying now

also sorry gbx :(

so pissed right now

like maybe i can swing replacing the thing at $199, but there's no way i can hack $500

Nightmare. I would have thought it would have been alright in the pocket, too. Took mine skiing and it was OK, but I should probably be less cavalier with them: my last one developed a big bust LCD line across it.

Don't suppose you have house insurance you could claim on?

Bottom line, use the mobile version of Google Reader (which works surprisingly well)

you mean mobile web?

I've only had an iPhone for a few days, but the Rickroll app has been decent fun, and it's free!

gbx - if you're comfortable with pushing the limits of consumer ethics just bring it into the Apple store and tell em that you dunno what happened and now it won't turn on, if they check the dot, tell em that you left it in the bathroom while showering once or twice but it worked fine afterwards?

yeah, i've got homeowner's but the deductible is too high for it to be worth it

dyao---the excuse i had planned on using was sort of a mashup of two legit problems: the phone dying, and the big pool of water i found on my counter as a result of seepage/roof leak during the storm (we had a tornado here today, the weather was horrendous). thing is, i highly doubt they'd really give a shit, is the thing. water damage is water damage, full stop.

eh I'd just plead ignorance and wave my hands and demand service. works better if you have a friend who is female and cute and have her be like "I dunno what happened! it just stopped working!" while making dog eyes...preferably in the manner of Fred Willard. Apple is pretty lenient with their customer service, at least judging from the murder people get away with on Mac forums.

gbx, just seeing this now so maybe it's too late but in general if you get consumer electronics wet, your best choice is remove the battery if you can (in this case obv not possible) and then submerge it completely in a jar of white rice, to pull the moisture out of the gadget and into the rice. You may still want to try it for a day before giving up all hope. You never know.

^woah

sorry to hear gbx
