I also have an iPad2 and I love it! I use it to take notes on, watch movies on, etc. The graphics are phenomenal. My laptop is in the shop right now and I'm actually using my iPad2 to access the Internet.

the iphone4 is a good one yes?? it would be my first iphone, and I love my Mac and Ipod touch!

Yes, it's very good. After I figured out (with Incubus' help) how to work my IPT4, I was refusing to buy that expensive data plan and the IPT4 and my cell phone plan were all I needed. Transition to the phone was so simple.

Honestly, I can't imagine needing more. It even has a flashlight.

I love my iPhone 4..its attached to me at the hip. I rarely ever go somewhere without it. Mine is jailbroken. Jailbreaking the iPhone makes it more customizable among other things. I do see an iPhone 5 in my future

girl_dee · 09-30-2011, 11:15 AM

The EVO has a slideout keypad that I would love to have..

Jailbroken means removing restrictions put on the iPhone by Apple or AT&T. Usually means a modified iOS and the ability to install apps not approved by Apple. It also violates the warranty and any Apple Care you have is no longer usable.

Thanks Linus. I guess I don't need to know how that makes it more customizeable then.

I've seen them do some crazy things with the IPT4 on utube and thought, now why would you want to do that......

whistles......

True- so worth it though

and you can always go back to the way it came out of the box. But it is a risk you take because it can brick your phone and then your SOL.

A young lady I once had a... errrrrm!... 'liaison' with, offered me a 16gb iPhone 3gs on facebook, saying that she'd taken it back from a particularly gruesome ex in the last year. I'm desperate for a new mobile phone (mine is 2 and half years old and struggling) and I'm one of the original mac fan-boys so an iPhone would be ace.....so, yes please says I.

Long story short...Jailbroken, unlocked from network...IMEI number blocked...can't be used in UK, anywhere else, but not UK...Bloody buggery bastard!...Now have a 16gb iPod Touch as well as the 32gb iPod Touch I already own...*sigh*

Research says that the IMEI cannot be unblocked by a third party software. *sigh x2*

If it looks too good to be true...it is!

LOL, it's an app...and it's free....(drains the battery quickly) I was expecting a wise crack. And speaking of duct tape. I saw PINK at home depot.

Thank you, Steve, for all of the insanely great tech you've given us. Thanks for bringing the personal computer into homes and schools. Thanks for helping create the future and making it possible for us to live in the world we read about in the cyberpunk novels of the 80s. Lastly, thank you for helping create the world of geek chic.

Ah, Steve Jobs. You changed an industry by doing some simple things. You showed that people didn't need to have the same boring look at computers and that it could be fun indeed.

You showed that the hype by some wasn't necessarily the truth and ask us to "Think Different" when it came to looking at the world.

Because of an Apple Macintosh SE, I got into computers. It showed that I didn't need to be a super math genius but have the necessary logic as to how things worked. It gave me confidence to explore more than that with various flavours of Unix and Linux.

More importantly thanks for revolutionizing computers into more than just glorified calculators, office systems and gaming platforms. A lot of what Apple brought to IT made it possible for us to have the variety we do.

Your genius and your vision that you brought to Apple, the IT industry (and the rest of the world) will be greatly missed.

Arwen · 10-06-2011, 12:21 AM

I saw a quote.

Three apples changed the world. Eve and the Garden of Eden. Newton. Steve Jobs.

I'm grossly paraphrasing. He was so young.

good one Linus!

I found these tips in a magazine recently...

Two- Button Screenshot: to take a picture of what's on your iphone screen:
1) Press Home and On/Off simultaneously.
2) The screenshot will be added to your Camera Roll

To copy an image in Safari, press on the images and hold until Save Image pops up. The image will be saved to your Camera Roll.

Double Click App
Set your iphone so that double tapping the Home button brings up an application, such as Camera.
1) Go to Settings, General and Home: Search, Phone Favourites, Camera or ipod.

iphone Keyboard Shortcuts
Insert punctuation quickly without having to view symbol options every time:
1) To add punctuation to your Alpha keyboard, press the 123 to see numbers and symbol options.
2) Keeping your finger on the screen, slide until you are touching the symbol you want to insert. As you release your finger from the screen, the symbol will be entered into your text and you'll be back the Apha keyboard.

Delete text using Gesture Controls
Instead of holding down DELETE to erase a line of text, here's an easier way:
1)Shake the handset.
2)You'll get a pop-up message asking if you'd like to "Undo typing" or "cancel". Choose undo and the last entered text will be gone.

There is also a display character count in messages short cut that I will type out of anyone is interested.
