Life without an iPhone.

Recently I lost my iPhone (Silly me, I know..), and was forced to go a week without it, before my insurance replaced it with a new one. In this time, I missed it a stupid amount... Here are some of the reasons.

Firstly, The iPhone allows you to check your email whereever you are. I find myself checking my emails all the time, and I wouldn't if I didn't have the phone. So when I was forced to use an old-fashioned Nokia, I was stunned to find I couldn't hit up my inbox on my way to school! It's suprising how much the iPhone can be used for, and if you own one, I think you'll agree that it's impossible to go back.

Secondly, and following on from email, I could not use Twitter and Facebook on the go! Alot of modern day phones have apps for social networking, but without it it's quite a shock. I don't use them too much anyway, but it really is a shock to the system not being able to check out some tweets during the day.

Thirdly, the iPhone's gaming is alot of fun compared to other phones. I haven't found a phone that has games that come anywhere near to the iPhone's. The accelerometer works flawlessly and the touch-screen is perfect, infact i'd say there isn't another touch screen phone that compares with the quality of the screen. Other phones use pressure etc. for the screen, but the iPhones works fantastically and picks up the slightest touch from the users finger.

Anyway, this post is pretty much finished now. There's more, but i'm sure you all know it - especially if you have one! If not, I'll just be drawing you in!

Thanks for reading, and I hope you liked the post. Please hit me up on the following:

Fluttr App Review

Finally after a long wait and extensive beta testing, a great new Twitter Client for the iPhone/iPod Touch has been released. Fluttr is a great new client which features an extravagant UI, the best one I've seen in an application in a long time. Fluttr also has some features that makes it my new main Twitter Client. It's the only application that allows you to enable or disable the new Twitter ReTweet feature which some users do not like. Also you can have different wallpapers to be your background of your Timeline, Mentions, and etc. I've also heard from the app maker's Twitter feed that they're going to have themes in a future update.

How To Get Tethering on Your iPhone

At Apple's WWDC, they officially announced the 3.0 software update with cut, copy, and paste, tethering, spotlight search, and MMS. Unfortunately it only took AT&T a few days to ruin the hopes and dreams of the 3.0 users with the announcement that they wouldn't support MMS or tethering in the U.S until late summer. Fortunately, some people have found a way around this situation. If you have an iPhone 3g or 3gs and would like tethering before the people over AT&T come out with an extra 25 dollars on your data plan follow these steps:

1. Grab your iPhone

2. Type help.benm.at/help.php in your iPhone in browser

3. Once open, scroll down the webpage and click on the Mobileconfigs download.

4. Scroll down the page until you get to your country

5. Click on your service provider, if in U.S click either AT&T or T-Mobile

6. Install the item from the page

7. Once done click the done button into your settings

8. Go to general, then network, scroll down to internet tethering, and you can switch your settings from their in your settings.

It has so far worked for me, and I have an iPhone 3gs, if it doesn't, contact me at krainess@yahoo.com and I will provide some assistance. I cant assure anyone that AT&T wont slap a huge data bill on you but so far I haven't received any huge bill yet. MMS should be available at the end of summer and a tutorial should follow with that opening.

Nick

Palm Pre, Coming To Verizon?

The Palm Pre was released with Sprint in the summer of 2009, 13 days before Apple released their new iPhone, iPhone 3gs. With it's legendary Linux based operating system where you can run many applications at the same time, such as Twitter, weather, messaging, and browser, its almost impossible not to like this phone. Is it too irresistible? Yesterday, Verizon said they are most likely going to add the Palm Pre to their smartphone lineup in the year 2010, rumors have also gone around that the Apple iPhone would also be added to the Verizon lineup, if so, Verizon would be the industry's hardest hitter with two of the greatest mobile devices around in the market today. The question is, is Apple willing to go to Verizon if it's arch rival is their also, does the iPhone want to be in it's own spotlight with AT&T, and if Verizon does get these two magnificent mobile devices, what will behold for the future of the phone industry?
