iPhone/iPod Touch Thread

Be a bit careful, it ties the number to a MAC address. If you the person who's number you've borrowed tries to log on after they'll be told that the number is already being used by another phone.

You sure? We've both been connected to the same cloud spot using the same info (although not at the same time).

I had that happen when I got my old iPhone updated to a 3G. I had to reset the account through a web interface. That was a little while ago now, they may have relaxed it since.

Just found a very useful page that I wish I'd found on Friday night while unlocking the GF's iPhone:

http://hackint0sh.org/forum/showthread.php?t=48683

It lets you create custom carrier bundles for unlocked iPhones including all the APN details, carrier logos, MNC and voicemail details. Very nice piece of work.

Used in conjunction with the info at FileSaveAs you can get everything working ticketyboo and looking very professional :

Anyone using a tethering app for the lappy with the iPhone - do they work well on a jail broken iPhone ? as we are down to Fistral beach in Newquay for a long weekend and the hotel (The Headland) has wifi but the 5* cottages dont so I though it might be worth a look at jailbreaking my phone and taking our iBook. BTW I recommend this place for storm watching / winter break as half price at 88 quid a night and they're right on the beach and very very luxurious. http://www.headlandcottages.co.uk/cotta ... /index.php

I used PDAnet succesfully when my 3G was jailbroken. It's better than most others I've seen in that it provides full IP routing, rather than just a SOCKS proxy, and auto-configures the laptop through UPnP.

I'm tempted to blow £2.49 on this slightly Elite inspired shooter. All the reviews are good for it (Zone Warrior):

Did you (or anyone) try this?

Highly tempted

There's a free 'lite' one but it says it's unavailable.

Two purchases I'm very pleased with are "2079" and "Low Grav Racer" both shameless ripoffs, but well executed nonetheless.

It's worth the asking price. I say get it. Then again, I get everything ... my app count is ridiculous and I have trouble saying no.

[Cloudane]

Grabbed

"Worth the asking price" is a perfect description. Great little bit of fun for £2.49.

It's not Elite, by any standard. It has like... no depth. But for that, you'd expect to be paying a fair bit more than £2.49 - for the price, it's great.

[Flojomojo]

Yeah, the framerate and controls are spot-on, though. I would love it if the developer put a full-on Elite game around this engine.

For pure action, Sci-Fly Dogfight is a lot of fun, as is Venger.

[Misfit]

Sorry for the slow reply, not that it matters, yes I grabbed and liked Zone warrior too.

Got a bit bored with Veneger but it's nicely done.

Have a 4 hours to kill on the train tomorrow, so may well look at 2079, Low grav racer and dogfight. Low grav is way out of the impulse buys at £3.49! (I can't believe I think that way now...)

Luckily there are power points on trains these days....

OK here I am, albeit a bit late to the party.

I've been with Vodafone for ever and for the last couple of months they've been trying to give me a Storm for nothing more than an extension to my very cheap tariff. OK, I'll hang on... on release day I went to the Vodafone shop and the service was up to scratch, but the Blackberry storm was shit.

I chipped off to the O2 shop and bought an iPhone. Paid Vodafone 56 quid to settle my contract and give me my PAC, everybody happy.

What a piece of kit. What took me so long?

[WiteWulf]

Welcome to the fold

(Isn't it about time we had an iPhonewanker icon?)

[Flojomojo]

So does anyone think we'll see any interesting iPhone announcements at Macworld in early January?

[Misfit]

I hadn't realised the Appstore had regional releases.

I couldn't find the Amazon and Scrabble apps that I had seen on appshopper when search on my phone. Eventually used the link on Appshopper and got a message from the PC version of the store that they weren't available in the UK....
