Title: For you iPhone or iPod Touch owners...
Post by: Mouseroo on Sep 13, 2009, 21:54:22
Found this video of an app demonstration: Sonifi Application (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=8j9Mgtroztc)

Looks rather nifty (apart from the impossibly small buttons which apparently can't be pressed first time  :whistle:).

Personally, I don't much care for the iAnything, but I do like my music and so I'm a bit envious... but only a bit   ;)

I agree, get, the big lamp and handcuffs Sebby  :whistle: Oh and I just downloaded an app that shows me hown many texts I have used, how many voice calls, where in the mobile monthly cycle I am and how much my bill is to date, and you can even pay it by the app if you did not have direct debit, thats useful  ;) all without making a call or going to your pc.

MobileMinute by PageOnce Sebby, its really useful. So is Weather Pro, much better than the built in one, it can find you pretty much anywhere, shows windspeed, humidity, satellite imagery that you can play to see whats happening over the day and a 7 day ahead detailed forcast, it also shows sunrise sunset times etc, pretty much all you need. Clear and concise :thumb:

How you finding OS 3.1, Lance? Is the battery life any better?

To be honest sebby I've not noticed much difference but then I've not been looking for any either. I'm quite used to plugging it in each day at work but that it has generally gone from being plugged in the the morning to the afternoon  instead. Speedwise it seems just as quick as ever :)

I get a few days out of the iPhone but I useage may be different, I fint OS3.1 good, turns out the antiphising in safari does not work though, so I guess we will have more patches soon

Where did you hear that, Gary? I heard it downloads the anti-phishing database while the phone is charging.

I don't use push email, it eats battery up and have it turned off as well as 3G because we are not in a 3G area Lance. I do a lot of texting and a fair amount of browsing but I don't make that many calls, no need to really at the moment I check emails each day when not at the PC so that may be why I get more mileage out of a charge.

I might be wrong but my impression is that when it says its 100% charged its not and seems to benefit from a longer charge.

I agree, if its gets to 18% or 9% i leave it longer then it lasts longer. If it runs flat at night I'll leave it charging overnight.
