Serious iPhone Updates Coming

iBlogger — Wed, 19 Mar 2008 23:20:31 +0000

I watched the information that the iPhone is coming out with some new updates and these next updates are going to be something of a helpful nature. The last update to 1.1.4 was .. well .. eh. The new maps are cool and the text messaging features are pretty cool. Even though I have only used the multi text once so far but I see a use for it in the future.

The main feature about this update seems to be geared toward attracting the bigger companies that use one type of phone for their employees. Creating and distributing Apps that anyone can get involved in building. Targeting the big Enterprises is all well and good but I hope that the average joe gets these updates to and is able to use them for their own little home business features.

Some of the new features include the ability to lock out the phone and keep people from hacking into it. Another cool feature if you r phone is ever stolen. Just find a computer that you are linked to the network with and kill the iPhone.

One of the other new features is supposed to let you link up with the iPhone and your computer .. or your buddies computer .. and link files that pertain to contacts and appointments. Very handy for the on the go salesman.

The addition of games and AIM for the iPhone seems pretty hands as well. The battery on the iPhone is not going to be able to handle all that chatting. At least mine wont. Im going to need to be near a plug or a computer quite often. I wonder if there is something wrong with my battery. I’m going to go to the Apple Store and have it checked out.

One thing I do know is that if you don’t have an iPhone now and you want one but don’t want to have it on AT&T then you better get your hands on one now that is already unlocked. There will be significant update to the iPhone that is going to tackle the issue of iPhones that are not on the AT&T network.

Millions of iPhones Go AWOL

iBlogger — Sat, 02 Feb 2008 00:22:06 +0000

I read the other day that there are millions of iPhones that are gone missing and not registered with the explicit carrier AT&T. Hmmm .. where ever could they have gone? Well there are hundreds if not thousands of them available on eBay for anyone and everyone. You don’t even have to use AT&T with the iPhone that you can get off eBay. They are a little to a lot more expensive than if you bought one and got service with AT&T but some people just don’t like AT&T I guess.

So if you want an iPhone and you don’t want to go through AT&T for the service you had better get yours now on eBay or anywhere else that is offering them in the “Unlocked” state. IF you don’t you will be looking at a much more secure iPhone in a couple months that will not be able to be hacked.

The iPhone Updates

So there was an upgrade for the iPhone and the iPod Touch. Lets start with the iPhone. It’s all gravy how jiggly works and the adding and moving of icons on the home screen. The text feature that allows you to text multiple people at the same time is cool. The multiple home screens is great. However … What about the VIDEO for the CAMERA????? Dammit if there is still no video from Apple for the camera. Maybe in the next update???

The upgrade to the maps is very cool to. GPS like tracking is the way to go but satellite would have been cooler! The only other thing that would make the iPhone better right now is if it could shoot a laser beam for self defense. Or video for self defense!

The iPod got a few cool new features. Maps and what not. For $20 you can get the upgrades for the $300 iPod Touch. Weird. All in all these upgrades are awesome! Can’t wait for the next ones. I only hope that it’s not another 1/4 of a year before we can get them.

The New iPhone

iBlogger — Tue, 08 Jan 2008 05:42:16 +0000

Say Hello to my little friend … is not so new anymore. I have had my iPhone for some time now and I’ve have got to say that I love it. My iPhone is the most amazing phone I have ever had. It does more than I expected but not as much as I had hoped for. In some ways it is lacking like no GPS but then again it has Google Maps, and no Video with the awesome camera but I bet it is coming soon!

One of the best things about the iPhone is that it is an all around phone. Emailing is very easy and yesterday I set up an email account that is connected to my Flickr account so I can email pics straight to my account and they show up right away. That was a pretty neat feature.

If you are thinking about getting an iPhone I highly recommend it. If you are not a fan of AT&T then you might check out some of the iPhones that have been unlocked. I already had AT&T so it was an easy transition since I was up for getting a new service plan anyway.

When you get your iPhone we would love to hear your story about what you use your iPhone for. Do you love it? Hate it? Want two or three or four .. one for each pocket? Let us know!
