iPhone?


Recommended Posts

Well, for one thing, I can control my computer with it. From anywhere in the world. Edit documents, view files, do everything remotely. As the poster above said, it's like a mini-computer in your hands.

i can do all of that on my htc p4000 which is more than a year old.:rolleyes:

i would say the only REAL pro of the iphone, the reason everyone buys it, is because it has a nice interface and its ease of use/simplicity. there are many phones that can do the same thing as the iphone and sometimes better, but the apple built the iphone so that it looked nice and anyone could use it, without having to have any previous experience.

its like a mini laptop in your pocket, anything from remote desktop, to playing some really unique games, I find my self using more of the business stuff then playing games on it though. its so many things in one. web browser, and music/video are the best out there for mobiles. call quality is nothing bad or nothing great.

a few cons, no replaceable battery pack, you'll need to send it to apple when the batterys go bad, or attempt to replace them your self which will void the warranty. another thing is the connector, it should have a little flapper thing to protect it, like if its in my pocket lint can get in there and i gotta spend time getting the lint out with a needle while hoping i dont screw up the connector. having the plug exposed like that is just stupid on apple's part. another problem is theres no buttons on the iphone to change the song/play and pause. you can only change the volume.

also, the speed applications open is not like it is in the commercials, everything takes at least 3 seconds to open.

in the end, the UI is the best out there and thats hard for anyone to argue with. and the apps are taking it beyond what anyone expected when it first came out.

2.2 jailbreak for me.

I'm surprised nobody has mentioned the poor camera. Only 2 megapixels, no video recording, not even a silly little light for low-light shooting. It's quite easy to blur photos. This might not be much of an issue for you, but I love casually taking photos and videos when I'm out, so the camera would be an issue for me.

This improves the situation considerably:

Works nicely.

- Mail.app has a tendency to not work at all if you have even one Exchange account (e.g. gmail + work)

Really? On my iPhone, I use Exchange (ActiveSync), MobileMe, and an IMAP account. Nothing ever crashes, refuses to connect, etc.

That's a no no mate ! Iphone's and Touch's databases are encrypted so no external program will work for putting music on the stuff. The program you mentioned works only for Classic, Nano and so on .

    • Hello, I have used a few TEAM Group SSDs, USB flash drives, and Micro SDXC cards in the past. They all seemed to work fine. Regards, Aryeh Goretsky
    • "just $100 per TB"? Just? Are we trying to make this seem like the new normal? Kinda weird to make it sound like that is not a ridiculously expensive asking price.
    • The reviews you refer to mean nothing. Where there is no journalism there is no reason to call the gaming media's opinion pieces "reviews". For GP games there is indeed a metric for success - increasing subscriptions. Which turns in revenue. The only circumstance in which subs do not rise when great is being released is a Game Pass system where the company is close to fully saturated with customers in a subscription. However, in that case as the theory goes you spend aplenty in all kind of games - from shady live service cash cows and customer offending agitprop crap in purple colours to robust and entertaining single player games. And keep a solid level of profitability. Ignoring the simply innocuous but mid games MGS has released primarily of the second kind.
    • Report: Microsoft to use AWS to help GitHub deal with a major surge in demand by Pradeep Viswanathan Thanks to the surge of coding AI agents, GitHub's usage has skyrocketed over the past 12 months. To meet this demand, GitHub started with a plan in October 2025 to increase capacity by 10x. However, by early this year, the company realized that it needed 30x scale. This rapid growth has caused severe strain on the platform's reliability, resulting in several small outages over the past few months. In April, GitHub published a long blog post explaining the steps it is taking to resolve these reliability issues. In the post, the company also confirmed that it is working toward a multi-cloud architecture for better resilience. Today, Business Insider reported that GitHub is turning to Amazon Web Services to help deal with a major surge in AI-driven coding activity. It is important to note that GitHub is still in the process of moving completely to the Azure cloud. The current plan is to move the platform fully to Azure by 2027 so that it can scale better as per developer demand. Therefore, the current decision to utilize AWS might be part of a short-term plan to meet immediate demand. A Microsoft spokesperson confirmed that GitHub is using multiple cloud providers with the following statement: For Microsoft, the decision highlights the operational pressure behind the AI boom. GitHub has to stay reliable for developers at a time when rivals such as Codex, Cursor, Claude Code, and other AI coding tools are gaining attention. And the decision to use AWS for computing capacity seems practical given the circumstances.
