New Apple Lust Objects

I don't think so, no. I bought a 16GB V1 (which I still happily use) and TBH it wasn't really necessary. Sure, it's nice to have the extra space, but I've never actually needed it. Unless you're going to be away from your computer for aeons and really need to load it up with shitloads of video, I think 16GB will be ample.

Extra space creates the need for it. So I got the 32 figuring I would find a way to use that space. I now use the iphone as my primary ipod (which I wasn't really planning to initially)

Get the bigger model.

reasons?

bigger is better

but small is beautiful?

I left my phone at work to update overnight since we had a birthday party to get to. My work machine runs Windows XP; I'd forgotten that updating iPhone software is nigh-impossible with XP machines and came into work with the "Verifying iPhone Software" message still on my screen and a wholly useless phone.

fucking bastard

anybody having trouble moving apps around? I can't seem to move an app to a different page! Even if I hold it in the corner nothing happens.

Did you try doing the "pull the app to the bottom bar then switch pages" trick?

my apps move around fine--tho i was annoyed with the way they shoved voice memos in there on the first page

max's post is important

and came into work with the "Verifying iPhone Software" message

I still get the fear when I see that message, because it's the one at which my very first update kept falling over. (Can't remember how I solved that. With immense difficulty, I think.)

Anyway. Just upgrading my V1 16GB now. Hasn't quite finished yet but <touches wood> seems to be on the final straight ...

fucking bastard

My first copy and paste. ON IPHONE.

totally, it bumped the icon that was there already onto a new weird blank page of its own

AP app is meant to have push, but i dont know if push is live yet -- the option isnt there in prefs

is there a way to do caps lock ON IPHONE?

Aye, just double-tap the shift key! Thus has it always been.

wow - thanks!!!! (this discovery beats OS 3.0 hands down for me)

Hmm, i'm probably stupid here, but double tap shift doesn't seem to do anything for me (it just toggles between caps on and caps off)

You may need to enable it in the settings.

ah yes great - thx!

did you just need caps lock to type out ON IPHONE?

OTM ON IPHONE

i cant seem to get the mms thing to work argh

grr after a trip to the Apple store and a restore of the backup I made yesterday, I finally have a useful iPhone, although no music until I synch it at home

i don't even know what mms is

Shitey picture messaging. All I know is it's never going to work on my V1 phone (Nath: is that your problem too?) and that suits me fine.

gm i think my problem is the settings. and me being a moran who knows jackshit about changing em
dont even know why i bother cause i will never use it

SS get the new one if only cause it will be easy to send videos to your family. that way i will be VERY jealous. hah wish i cld buy one. the iphone is so great cause it is easy to send pics to my parents in japan

Apple's website says mms won't be available in the US until "late summer"

thats what happens when u sign an exclusive deal with the yokels at att

good luck usa: http://mrgan.tumblr.com/post/124025728/wwdc-2009

It’s disingenuous for AT&T to argue that their network is so overloaded they’re struggling to support MMS & tethering. (n.b. these are features long in the tooth and they’re available, like, everywhere else, including my birth country of Croatia - you know, the place that went through a war not long ago?

Got the 3G S. Good: comically tiny new UK charger, camera massively better, much faster esp. on Safari.

Bad: Screen is glossy as fuck. Hoping it'll scuff up, but wtf is it w/Apple and displays that are mirrors? Also seems a bit mre recessed than v1. Hate the warmer gamma and plastick back too, but they've been around since 3g, so oh well.

Ok in fact Safari is ludicrously fast. Pages appearing at desktop speed

Voice control is way better than I thought: it can understand what I'm saying, which is more than some people can.

So the voice control works for the iPod functions, right? That sounds like the most amazing thing ever.

yeh "play music", "pause music", "play more songs like this", "play album Boxer" all work. "Play music by Aphex Twin" makes it call my mate big Tom, so dunno about that.

woah!! (not that I would ever use this)

Couple of my friends use matte screen protectors; they seem to work well and protect your screen, although every time I use one of them I fear my finger will glom to the screen because they look like the sticky side of clear medical tape.

I hate the shiny, shiny screen and use a matte screen protector and it is really great. I highly recommended it. No finger glomming.

i would definitely call stet's mate big Tom if this is indeed a built-in option

"Play music by Aphex Twin" makes it call my mate big Tom

See, I mentioned this to a couple of folk at work and -- like me -- they said, yeh, I can see that. I dunno, it does make an odd kind of sense, doesn't it?

I got it to work finally. "Play music artist Aphex Twin" works. It's really cool when it works -- you can hold the button on the headphones, say what you want, and it happens.

Play music Barry Manilow

play music uppers ON IPHONE

It's nice so far.

when did the white polycarbon macbook become the only macbook available? wasn't there an aluminium version for about a year there?

so, if you want a 15" laptop apple are giving you the option of spending £750 for the white or £1300 for the bottom of the line pro?

does this make any sense at all in the current climate?
