Other The iPhone 4 / iOS Thread

Looking at the Speck website, it looks similar... But of course, the bumpers have no back. Here's some pics of MrsGoo's phone in a black bumper:

 

Cheers Goo
Really looks like they are made by/inspired by Speck cases at least. I had one on my 3G and it was flipping fantastic so it looks like I shall buy a bumper case when they are more readily available.

 

No probs.

Has anyone tried voice control? I never had it on my 3G, so it's pretty damn spiffy.

Press and hold the home button to activate. When you get the screen, ask your phone what time it is.

[Edit]

Here's the cheat sheet for it:

GOO, was that just a thinly veiled excuse to post pictures of your feet?

 

I was slobbing out on the sofa - deal with it!

 

That's the first thing I thought when I grabbed one. Very very similar! But slightly better quality.

Apple sells 1.7 million iPhone 4s through Saturday, June 26

 

I read that 77% of that little lot where upgrades from earlier generation phones.

Still, that's a lot of phones!

What are all of you lot doing with your exisiting iPhone (3G/3GS)? I've just Mazuma'd mine, and at the end of the day my upgrade to an iP4 will have cost me £6. Add into that the fact that my Three tarrif is cheaper (£30) and still gives me a broadly similar package to my old £35 O2 Tarrif, and I'm very happy.

 

I sold my old one for £300 to a guy at work. Currently £81 up on the upgrade.

 

Well done!

Anyone better that?

 

still got my original iPhone 2G here, thinking it's worthless now since Apple stopped supporting it.

 

It might be worth something - have a look on the recycle sites.

Don't get rid of your 2G dock though - apparently the iP4 fits it perfectly.

Proof!

Made my day.

 

Anyone played Eliminate:GunRange yet? It's more of a tech demo than a fully fledged game, but I was really surprised by just how accurate the iPhone's gyroscope is - did not expect something so precise in a phone. It's really cheap, check it out!

It made me think, with the two cameras and gyroscope, I guarantee there are going to be a ton of augmented reality apps soon enough.

Who knows, we may even get some sweet faux-3D games using head-tracking.

 

for the first 4 shots, i thought they employed someone from Simpsons.

that game looks okay, but i don't want to pay for something that is a tech demo. (Crysis excluded)

 

Gave mine to my mum, who is absolutely thrilled to bits. She is absolutely enthralled at the ability to eBay, Facebook and Email etc whilst she is on the sleep shift. She texted me the other night 'You don't know what a difference this has made already. I don't feel so isolated anymore...' and it nearly made me cry :s

 

Does anyone have any issues with dock connector cables not fitting if you have a bumper on? The cable in the box with the phone works fine, but other (genuine Apple, and the same size and shape at first clance) seem not to.

The dock connector on my car stereo definatly doesn't fit - completely different shape (Kenwood). Works fine if I take the bumper off though.

Is there such a thing as a dock to dock extension lead? one that has the correct shape and sized enclosure on the end?

 

This might help you: http://www.cablejive.com/extendercable.html

 

Thanks Bakes - sort of the idea, but the connectors on the end are the wrong shape.

However this from the same people looks just the ticket!
