The iPhone

OS 3.0 allows video recording, however only the iphone 3GS has the camera for it.

It also appears that the focusing feature only works on the new model.

Really, I thought the iphone 3G had the capability to do it also, it just wasnt in the firmware... because i know if you jailbreak it, the camera can be used to video record.

They might be holding it back from the 3G to increase 3GS sales.... unless you only have the iphone 2G, which i think cannot be used for vid recording.
 

I'm pretty sure some third party application will enable the function on 3G. But whether Apple would prevent it from being sold on iTune or not, that's another matter.

I'm waiting for the GPS assisted application to come out! Can't wait to turn my iphone into a fully capable GPS device.
 
I like Bloomberg for checking on my portfolio. Got a good news feed as well.

Here's a news flash for you all -

I was having problems with my home Wi Fi dropping out all the time, had Telstra on the phone constantly for the past week, finally found out and I'm pretty sure it's the Iphone wi fi connecting to my big pond account via the router at home, every time I turn the iphone wi fi on and it connects to my telstra home account it stuffs up my home connection, if I use the 3G account I have and turn Wi Fi off it seems to work ok, so there you go.
 
Have you upgraded your software Mr B? I am about to travel os, so have added XE currency converter which updates whenever I access it. That combined with ACTcurrency should do the trick. Going to Bali and current exchange is $1 to 8,200 rupiahs. Verrry confusing and the Balinese are expert at tricking!

The others I love - Shazaam (recorded music capture) Midomi (word capture) AroundMe (for travelling) Classics and Stanza (written books) Maps, Stocks, Ozweather, Google earth for fun, and games, um, Columns, Stone Loops (seriously addictive) Crash Kart, and Trism.

Am loving the MMS though, much to the kids disgust..

Got that in 1 gooner - they sure do - the 19 year old is wangling for the new iphone - except he is still only half way through a 2 year plan. It aint gonna happen!

Yes, those roaming things are expensive but I only turn location services on when I need to find something.
 

hey...im a poor 18 year old trying to convince my parents to get me one... :
not sure if its worth it though... still quite expensive. What happened to the $99 for the old 8GB version?? I wouldnt mind getting one of those..
 
Favourite apps:

where to? - great time saver for maps

Ozweather - best weather app

wattpad - more free current books than on stanza

Stoneloops and Peggle are excellent games

I picked up the old 16gig last week from virgin on a $45 cap plan, but it only includes 50mb of data, so will probably add an additional 300mb for $10 a month. Still much better then allot of the other plans. Not sure if they are still doing this deal..

Has anyone used the comsec app on their iphone? I have heard you need to call and get a different client number to the account number you normally use?
 

I didnt have any problems. Just had to type in the number that starts with the 50XXXXXX and it works, it wont work with the other number though.
Its quite user friendly, I just dont like how when you change tabs and then go back, you have to log back on.
 
I need to work out which plan to get. How much do you use the data functionality and how many MB do you use per month?

I would be looking at using on the bus to and from work - 1.5 hours a day - news, ASF, bloomberg etc. Emails. And some web surfing at weekends.

Virgin have a good plan with 5GB - thinking of closing my internet account and using the iphone as a tethered modem. Any views?
 
I use the intenet/email a lot, and find I download very little in terms of mb. I dont use it for downloading large files, just checking emails, surfing, and posting on forums when I dont have the laptop. I am on a 500mb $59 plan with Optus and never come close to using 1/4 of that allowance.
 

It wont be as fast as and reliable as your ADSL internet connection, unless you're already using 3G internet.

Optus are charging $9.90~ on top of the plans to enable the iphone has a tethered modem. I haven't been able to turn tethering on with virgin because they use the optus network and its coming up with an error, so one thing to watch out for.
 
If you go to whirlpool, there is heaps of threads on how to enable iphone tethering so that it uses your existing data. Its such a con how they try and take advantage of the iphone. On what other phone can't you use your data as you like?
