Just setup company email on one for one of our engineers, from my brief usage of the device, its snappy, beyond that i am biased against the iOS because i just dont like using it. also let us all hope the iPhone 5 screen is larger because holding that thing compared to my phone its just too small.

I just got mine this morning, and the difference between the iPhone 4 and 4S really is striking. For starters: Siri is amazing. Beyond that, they fixed the "death grip" issue entirely, the phone is much snappier, and data seems a lot quicker to download with HSDPA+. Also, the camera really is as good as they say it is.

Oh, don’t say things like that, Elliott. At least not before the contract on my iPhone 3GS expires…

Current phone size is perfect for me, don't want to carry a brick around.

How are non-US'ers getting on with Siri....not at all, reports are saying,

Seems like the Brits are being understood just fine. Not sure about the Aussies.

Elliott, I believe you killed a few people in the waiting line at the Apple Store to get your phone so early. Now, you need to ask Siri "Where can I hide a body?". Apparently, it has a few suggestions for you ?

:laugh: I had it delivered.

Sold a heap today, most customers seemed underwhelmed but wanted it anyway. A few even asked what it was when we asked which model they wanted

That's actually pretty typical. Very few people actually go into a store and go "I want a Samsung Galaxy SII" or "I want a 32GB white iPad 2 with 3G". That's why the retail stores exist. :p

Got my company iPhone 4s today...seems weird compared to my Evo 3D. There is so much more room that the screen could use but doesnt which makes it feel even smaller. What's on the screen is nice though; nice and vivid. It has been really annoying though... tried to download the first app and had to go through many prompts and enter in my login information a couple times and then finally it started the download :p Not what I would consider a first time user friendly setup (I have an old apple id from a 3GS I had for a short period). After that things seemed fine... until.... wifi dropped out.

Unfortunately there are a lot of WiFi networks near me, but I was sitting 5ft from two of my wireless routers (one N only, one G only). The iPhone could no longer see either. I refreshed the list of networks and only 6 showed (normally I see around 10-15 different networks). I refreshed again...3 showed. Refreshed again... 2 showed. Not sure what the deal was, but they were all slowly disappearing! I rebooted the iPhone, no go, same issue. I also tried disabling wifi, going in and out of airplane mode...still nothing. I finally gave up on that and decided to plug it into my computer to grab a few more apps. Plugged it in... iTunes errored saying something about a pairing error. A reboot later and then it worked. Sometime between then and another hour or two the WiFi kicked in and started working again (I can also again see the large collection of networks near me).

I also tried setting up iCloud on it and it just kept spitting back an error about my account not being able to be verified (this was after I already had finally grabbed some apps from both the phone directly and via iTunes). Eventually something kicked out a email verification email which then told me to again log in to the same account on the phone.

Overall in Day 1 I am mildly annoyed with it. It is worlds better than the BlackBerry it is replacing, however :p

    • Ocenaudio 3.19.3

      By Copernic · Posted

      Ocenaudio 3.19.3 by Razvan Serea  Ocenaudio is a full featured, fast and easy to use audio and music editor. It is the ideal software for people who need to edit and analyze audio files without complications. Ocenaudio also has powerful features that will please more advanced users. To assist ocenaudio development, a powerful toolset of audio editing, analysis and manipulation called Ocen Framework was created. ocenaudio is also based on Qt framework, a well known library for cross-platform development. Cross-platform support ocenaudio is available for all major operating systems: Microsoft Windows, Mac OS X and Linux. Native applications are generated for each platform from a common source, in order to achieve excelent performance and seamless integration with the operating system. All versions of ocenaudio have a uniform set of features and the same graphical interface, so the skills you learn in one platform can be used in the others. VST plugins support Ocenaudio supports VST (Virtual Studio Technology) plugins, giving its users access to numerous effects. Like the native effects, VST effects can use real-time preview to aide configuration. Real-time preview of effects Applying effects such as EQ, gain and filtering is an important part of audio editing. However, it is very tricky to get the desired result by adjusting the controls configuration alone: you must listen the processed audio. To ease the configuration of audio effects, ocenaudio has a real time preview feature: you hear the processed signal while adjusting the controls. The effect configuration window also includes a miniature view of the selected audio signal. You can navigate on this miniature view in the same way as you do on the main interface, selecting parts that interest you and listening to the effect result in real time. Multiselection for delicate editions To speed up complex audio files editing, ocenaudio includes multi-selection. With this amazing tool, you can simultaneously select different portions of an audio file and listen, edit or even apply an effect to them. For example, if you want to normalize only the excerpts of an interview where the interviewee is talking, just select them and apply the effect. Eficient edition of large files With ocenaudio, there is no limit to the length or the quantity of the audio files you can edit. Using an advanced memory management system, the application keeps your files open without wasting any of your computer's memory. Even in files several hours long, common editing operations such as copy, cut or paste happen almost instantly. Fully featured spectrogram Besides offering an incredible waveform view of your audio files, ocenaudio has a powerful and complete spectrogram view. In this view, you can analyze the spectral content of your audio signal with maximum clarity. Advanced users will be surprised to find that the spectrogram settings are applied in real time. The display is updated immediately when altering features such as the number of frequency bands, window type and size and dynamic range of the display.
