iPhone/iPod Touch - Does Anyone Have One?

Darren

I've just created an web shortcut icon for our web-site for use with iPhone and v1.3 Firmware Equipped iPod touch devices.

Is there anyone here who can test? It works fine on the iPod Touch but I don't have an iPhone!

Nope...there are far better devices out there for far less money. OK so the user interface is nice and shiny but when you get past that it's a bit overpriced and mediocre really.

Each to their own I guess. I've now got an iPod Touch and it's very good, indeed it is all I need as I use Blackberry for phone/email functionality, something they do better than the iPhone.

For casual browsing and music/vide though the Touch is very good.

Works fine darren! Just added the shortcut to my phone now!

p.s. The defalt phone is a bit US, but if you action the jailbreak software on it or the iPod Touch you start to give it the sort of functionallity of a PDA. It still has a bit of a way to go but I'm confident they will get there eventually. I like it!

p.p.s they just unlocked the sim lock on upto firmware 1.1.3 phones.

I must say the browser implementation is a joy. faced with pecking at a tiny keyboard on my PocketPC, using the Blackberry with it's tiny screen or the Touch, the Touch wins.

I'm tempted to get an iPhone and Jail Break it but now see news posts that the next major release will be further locked down and I can't be bothered with having to hack it at each update!

With the SDK on the cards, rumour has it that there will be no further locking.

Also, in other countries (France), manufacturers aren't allowed to lock their in with service providers.

It's very easy for me to say, I don't have a £270 phone or iPod at risk of being locked but I do listen to the rumours

I can almost guarantee they will continue to be locked. Apple risk losing a sizeable amount of income if they weren't. I have no issue with that but wish they were available on all networks.

Do they though? The handsets are sold at much closer to cost than other phones and the service providers have to pay Apple a lot more than they would any other manufacturer?

A really old thread I know but I couldn't justify starting anew.

For you lucky guys the best online tv guide (IMHO) have released a free iPhone version.

There is a better one that I used to favour called tvGuide but now I just use the Sky+ app as it has remote record built-in.
