instanthuman Posted December 30, 2007 Share Posted December 30, 2007 nice but cell-tracking is ... somewhat imprecise. nevertheless, looks like a great update. :) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The_Decryptor Veteran Posted December 30, 2007 Veteran Share Posted December 30, 2007 hopefully some of these make their way to the touch :) Yeah, the Touch lags a bit with the features, the iPhone has Notes, why doesn't the Touch? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

MasterC Posted December 30, 2007 Share Posted December 30, 2007 wish ipod touch had native google maps :( Hopefully it will after the SDK is released in February (Y) For what it's worth, Touch OS X makes for a better headline. It's easier to identify which version of OS X the topic is talking about. But technically speaking, yes it is called OS X. When I saw "Touch OS X", I though it was about something tablet based. :laugh: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

raskren Posted December 30, 2007 Share Posted December 30, 2007 I know many people had been wanting the GPS functionality in Google Maps, so I'm sure they'll be happy! ...but it's not GPS as the iPhone doesn't have a GPS transponder in it. It's just tower triangulation and it doesn't work everywhere and it's not that accurate. Google Maps for Windows Mobile does this now too. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mattmatik Posted December 30, 2007 Share Posted December 30, 2007 I remember having to have the BlackJack II specifically for its GPS. After 3 weeks of using it I've come to the conclusion that nothing comes close to dedicated GPS systems...not to mention, I can never imagine myself being somewhere without have a general idea of where I am. So, I sold the BJII and got my iPhone 2 days ago. Looking forward to 1.1.3 and SDK, though. Let's get the little irritating tidbits taken care of because even as of now, the iPhone is fantastic.

osirisX Posted December 30, 2007 Author Share Posted December 30, 2007 Next up on this rollercoaster ride of a rumour: Gizmodo is now saying it is 100% real and will be out within a week. The dude says he is going to post more videos of other features in 1.1.3 and has set up a thread over at GearLive where you can ask him any questions you want. http://www.gearlive.com/forums/viewthread/16402/ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

PyX Posted December 31, 2007 Share Posted December 31, 2007 I don't really like the way iPhones get so many cool things. At the same price point of $399, an iPod touch only has 8 more gigabytes and is thinner. Otherwise, the iPhone has so many things... like Bluetooth, integrated camera, a bigger screen (with the same resolution though!), more built-in applications, etc. Anyway, I would have bought the iPhone for sure, but here in Canada it costs like $700... 400 + customs + shipping + fake sim card + etc. etc. It makes no sense. And meanwhile, France, UK and USA are enjoying their iPhones. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mattrobs Posted December 31, 2007 Share Posted December 31, 2007 I remember having to have the BlackJack II specifically for its GPS. After 3 weeks of using it I've come to the conclusion that nothing comes close to dedicated GPS systems... My thoughts exactly. Integrating all my hand-held devices into one device (like iPhone) would be nice, but from the phone-GPS products out now, they're a half-hearted attempt at best. If I'm driving and I miss a turn, I'd want my GPS to respond immediately; not sit around, people honking behind me, waiting for it to recalculate. And an oh yeah on the new 'page curl' effect. That'll get some "ooohs" at Macworld for sure. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
osirisX Posted December 31, 2007 Author Share Posted December 31, 2007 Day 3: GearLive have now posted a full video of the stuff in 1.1.3. It's real. Someone over at Macrumors also explained the altered carrier icon is a leftover from the iPhone being hacked and then upgraded. Video and Mirror.

Kraftman Posted January 3, 2008 Share Posted January 3, 2008 The reason the carrier is Nate: The SpringBoard (iPhone UI/icon screen) settings are stored in a file called com.apple.springboard.plist. This is an Apple file that exists in all iPhones -- jailbroken or not. An iPhone hacker/programmer (Erica Sadun) found undocumented preferences in this file. One of the preferences was to set a fake carrier. (http://www.tuaw.com/2007/11/27/a-half-dozen-fun-undocumented-iphone-preferences/) When Nate upgraded, his com.apple.springboard.plist file was kept intact, as it is just his settings (I believe it has brightness, auto-lock time, etc). If he restored, com.apple.springboard.plist was restored from the backup iTunes makes every time you sync your phone. The fake carrier proves nothing, except that this is really Nate True's iPhone ;) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
