More iPhone 3G
July 11, 2008 – 6:49 pmWell after a day with it some more impressions.
App Store, there are a lot of things there that do the same thing and lots of useless apps.
There are some free apps, the best has got to be Apple Remote, which basically allows you to use your iPhone to control ‘paired’ iTunes installs, very handy.
AIM Chat, well the iphone needed a chat client shame with this it doesn’t have support for Jabber or anything remotely useful, I know no one that actually uses AIM or ICQ anymore for IM. Everyone is either Jabber (gtalk or straight jabber) or MSN.
There a a few games there which I’m seriously considering buying at least solitaire and maybe one or two others. There is talk of a wordpress blogging tool which will be nice…
Battery life well I’ve been trying to exercise this a bit, 3g is turned on and with push email going all day it has taken a hammering. The battery is half full and it came say 90% charged…
Some quirks, any restored mail account settings needed the passwords all reset so they would work properly. I’ve had that problem with the original 1st Gen iPhone before too.
I’m waiting on pwnage tool to be updated for the 2.0 firmware before I update my 1st iPhone to 2.0 as I’m using a vodafone sim in that.
