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 .

    • Waymo recalls self-driving software after cars enter closed freeway work zones by Paul Hill Waymo, the self-driving car maker owned by Alphabet – the parent company of Google –, has recalled some of its fifth-generation Automated Driving Systems (ADS). It did so after some of its cars drove through closed construction zones. According to the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration (NHTSA), the affected vehicles were capable of driving through a closed freeway construction zone and continuing to drive at speed. The listing on the NHTSA website says that Waymo is currently developing a solution to fix this issue, but in the meantime, freeway driving is being restricted. Waymo will update its ADS software so that vehicles can detect when they can avoid entering construction zones. According to the Safety Recall Report, on April 20, 2026, Waymo’s Field Safety Committee began meetings reviewing an event from April 11, 2026, and five events from April 19, 2026, where Waymo’s autonomous vehicles didn’t recognize and drove past ramp closure signs into the pre-planned freeway construction zones. This took place in Phoenix, Arizona. Separately, on May 18, 2026, seven Waymo vehicles entered freeway lanes with active construction in the San Francisco Bay Area by driving between cones that were placed to show the lane was closed. On the back of both of these events, Waymo restricted freeway driving until it could address the issue. In June, Waymo’s Safety Board reviewed the issue and additional information related to ADS performances around construction zones; then, as a result, it decided to conduct a recall. This development is not good for Waymo as it adds to a growing list of technical hiccups its cars have experienced. Ultimately, it will lead to more scrutiny from lawmakers around the world who will be more cautious about letting autonomous vehicles on their roads without tighter regulation. For readers in areas where Waymo operates, does this news make you more wary about stepping into one of these vehicles?
