I HEART

Have loved the apple computers I've had in the past and also my ipod classic and itunes!!

Anybody use a car adapter for their ipods. I've had a couple different ones but they haven't really worked well.

Hi Ruffy,

I use an adapter with my iphone since my ipod tunes are all on it. I also like to listen to pandora so it works nicely. Do you want me to look and see what kind of adaptor it is?

I would recommend the 4s since it's so much faster and has a ton to offer. And of course you get Siri.

Your app choices are so vast it's hard to recommend something without knowing all your likes and dislikes. I have tons of games on mine since my girls are always playing them on the way to school. I also have food apps, art apps and science apps. I'm a bit app happy at times!

Do you have an Apple store nearby? It's nice to go in and chat up a family room rep so they can help you pick out what would work best for you!

Sadly, I don't think I can wait till next year for the 5. I think I would be happy with one of the older versions of the iphone anyway. I currently have an android and have had it for a year. I love all the apps I can have on it and I don't see anything wrong with a Droid. I just like Apple stuff and think I'd rather switch now. My android is shutting off on me a lot daily, so it's time for a new phone and I have decided based on a poll that I would rather get the iphone than a droid this time around. the only thing I'm gonna miss is the option to have a touch screen and a keyboard. My phone mostly is used for texting and facebooking so I love the keyboard option, but I think I can get used to just the touch screen given that I'm sure the iphone is fun with all the apps and stuff that can go on it.

thanks for all the info. everybody I will check out the USB adapter. I've heard that lots of people use Pandora too. How does that all work? Can you actually play it through car speakers with this USB adapter? Doesn't your car have to have a USB port? Sure Catalina, if you can provide a link or picture that would be awesome. TY!

Yes, I do have a store near me, sooo fun!

Pandora is GREAT! Sadly it does not work in Canada... I think you can use it with droid? You will love how seamless iphone is with itunes...

New cars have a USB adaptor built in. You can also buy a light plug that converts to a USB port. If you have a newer car too, you likely have the capability to connect your iPhone wirelessly to the speaker and radio via bluetooth. Old school cars can use a USB-slash-audio adaptor cord, assuming you can locate the female port of your speaker input in the car dash.

oops, my car has one of those pluggy things built in so all i have to do is plug it in to my phone or use the bluetooth. the only thing about having the bluetooth on is that it picks up all my phone calls and routes them through the radio. i will be talking and the call will drop out mid sentence and then scare the shit outta me when it blasts through the radio!

Yes, that is my understanding.

At this time yes but there is a MacRumor that the 4 may be able to after a software update.

Siri used to be an app in the Appstore so it will work but it's most likely server overload issue since it's crashed once already.

what if I could buy an iphone 4 for 99.00. but there is no box and they would possibly throw in some accessories would anyone do it?

could I get them to turn it on see if it works , what should I look for?

Also, does anyone have verizon as a carrier and are you paying more than 80.00 per month with an iphone ? I'm not talking about a family plan or anything just an individual.

thanks!
