With the launch of iPhone OS 4, your iPhone (3G, 3GS, 2nd and 3rd generation iPod) will become more power full than ever. Here are keynotes of the presentation

Most talked new features:

2. Folder : Organize application icon into folders with simple drag-and-drop. Get faster access to your favorites and manage up to 2160 apps at once, many more than the current limit of 180 apps.

Podcaster on Cydia

August 23rd, 2009 iPhoneInterest No comments

Podcaster allows you to subscribe, manage, stream and download podcasts directly to your iPhone and iPod Touch. Podcaster is now available in jailbroken iPhones. You can install it by using Cydia installer only if your iPod Touch or iPhone is running firmware 2.0 or higher. This application was earlier in Apple Store. It was removed after some time because it was duplicating the functionality provided in iTuens ( “Apple Says”). I don’t think that it is exactly duplicating the functionality.

Apple started testing iPhone 2.2

August 23rd, 2009 Arvind No comments

New iPhone software upgrade 2.2 will be rolled out as soon as it becomes stable. In this upgrade
1. Push e-mail to iPhone or iPod touch will be restored.
2. This upgrade will also improve on GPS functionalities.
3. We’ll see new Safari browser having search beside the address bar and it will be always visible.
I wish that we can have Copy and Paste functionality in coming upgrades. I don’t think this is difficult to implement, but still we haven’t have this important feature in it.

There will be some existing bug fixes. I don’t have exact detail as of now. I’ll write it here again as soon as I get some thing new.

After buying iPhone 3G, I was disappointed

August 23rd, 2009 iPhoneInterest No comments

Earlier when I was using iPhone 2G, I was quite happy with the results. The touch experience was never so great in phones as it was is in iPhone.

Web Browsing, iPod, and a phone, it is no doubt one of the best phones present in the market. When I shifted to iPhone 3G, I was very excited about it. When you have older version in your hand you start expecting better in newer version.

After buying iPhone 3G, I was disappointed. I found following problems

1. Switching to Edge network while there is strong 3G signal present.

2. Call drop during the conversation.

3. It still has 2 M Pixel camera while there are 4 M Pixel camera mobile phone present in the market.

4. No video recording this time too.

5. No MMS in iPhone 3G.

6. Still there is no way to copy and paste some text so if you want to give some contact information to some colleague, you need to remember the contact information first then type it ?.

7. No second camera for video calls as it makes sense in 3G phones.

After having so much of drawbacks, I still have iPhone 3G and I can’t have another phone as I am used to of some great features it has. Now decision is your whether you want to buy it now or wait for newer version of iPhone.
