We’re in Snowdonia (mostly) this week and whilst I thought I’d blog about the scenery, mountains, sheep etc when I get back, I would like mention the iPhone experience now.
It’s pants.
One out of five bars at best from O2. Never seen EDGE (I don’t have 3G but that’s probably rubbish too).
Worse though [...]
Yay, the iPhone 2 software upgrade has finally been release, under the guise of version 2.01.
Since upgrading this morning, I’ve noticied:
Very cool game, Aurora Feint no longer crashes on startup. Hurrah!
I’m down to half charge after just 90 mins since full charge. Boo! (and no, I haven’t been playing AF for 90 mins - hardly [...]
Over the last few weeks I’ve found that I cannot send text messages from my iPhone (O2) to my wife’s Motorola RAZR (T-Mobile), and she cannot send messages back.
Of course, I assumed this is because the iPhone software is buggy and/or Mr Jobs doesn’t want us to use SMS or some other conspiracy theory.
Upgrading the [...]
There’s a new iPhone app for publishing to WordPress and here’s a test post.

edit: it can do pics to.
Sorry, another iPhone related post
Anyways, I’ve spotted a bit of a flaw in the iPhone App Store.
The App Store is the only way you can legally develop and distribute apps for the iPhone and you have to publish them via Apple. This introduces a huge amount of convenience, but you also lose a [...]
So I don’t have a new iPhone 3G, but I do (finally) have the 2.0 software, so the only difference between my iPhone and the new one is 3G and GPS.
Getting the 2.0 software was a little problematic. It wasn’t available until late on Friday evening, and the re-blast process was quite painful. Half way [...]
Today is the day the iPhone 3G is launched, although I won’t be getting one.
However, a few will. At least one person I know at work managed to get an online order in and is waiting for DHL at home this morning.
Others I know will be camping out outside O2 or Carphone Whorehouse shops at [...]

Much has been reported about the debacle that is the iPhone 3G release, and I too have been a victim.
I received a text message from O2 at 08.09 on the 7th telling me the website to let me upgrade was open from 08.00. Of course by that time it was completely hosed, so I tried [...]
OK, so it’s actually called the iPhone 3G. Didn’t get a chance to visit either NYLON Apple Stores, but have since discovered they’re not available until July 11 and probably not from the Apple Store anyway.
Bit disappointed they haven’t done anything with video and front-facing cameras, or increased the memory capacity, but the price point [...]

Right, so the keynote is usually 10am SF time, so that’ll be 1pm Eastern, so give them time to rearrange the shelves…… so I reckon popping down to the Apple Store on 5th Avenue around 2.30pm?
Of course, no point buying one here, but would be nice to see it.
Then maybe swing by Apple Store Regent [...]
