So who is taking advantage of the US' after Thanksgiving Day sales for Apple Store Online?!

I'm considering these "Apple In-Ear Headphones with Remote and Mic"
http://store.apple.com/ca/product/MA850?mco=MTU3MjMwMzQ

I REALLY want the Monster Beats/Monster Beats Tour by Dre ... but so many reviews say that although the sound quality and BASS is very sweet, the built quality is downright SH*T. Should've known that a horrible rapper (excellent producer) from NWA husseling days Dre would've done this; with a sucker company like Monster.

I think I'll save up for January purchase of Ultimate Ears.

@ofiaich, re: your questoins about the iphone car kit.

I took it out for a spin today and have to say it works very well... as a GPS.
Its very loud too, much louder than my Garmin and I could hear it very clearly over my MR2 engine during acceleration!

while the app lets you call POI's hand free from within the app, if you want to call a contact you have to exit the app and dial as normal meaning that for the duration of the call, you're not getting directions. That was very unexpected.

Its also weird that the connection from the cradle to the phone is via bluetooth, even though the phone is plugged in to the cradle using the iphone connector at the bottom. My garmin simply downloads the phone book via bluetooth on conection and you do all the dialing etc from the Garmin without the need to touch the phone, and I fully expected this tomtom app to do the same.

in general the cradle works well but there are some seemingly illogical things about it and no, I don't think its worth the money

Thanks for your comments masseur!

Very helpful!!

I had read about the bluetooth way of connecting. Strange!

If I use my iPhone with TomTom or Co Pilot UK, I use a suction arm and holder that cost me £14

I do enjoy using my Garmin very much.

I think you might have saved me £99 minus the Quidco 8% !!

thanks again!

Just seen on The Gadget Show today an application on the iphone to control something called ehome from anywhere in the UK. It controls everything in your home from lighting to curtains to security.

Hi everyone!

I jailbroke my iPhone and am using my Vodafone sim in it with no problems...

I will read back through the thread and also vist MacForums but I have an Easy question !

What did you folk who jailbroke your iPhone's do next as regards new applications, or changing certain settings etc.

I suppose I am asking 'what next to make the iPhone eve better after jailbreaking!'

Thanks,

@ofiaich

Assuming you already installed cydia...

I have 4 main apps that I use.
MXTube - which downloads, stores and playsback youtube videos on your iphone - free
Backgrounder - which basically allows you to run apps in the background - free
Intelliscreen - which gives you a WM like home page showing next calendar events, weather, mail and text messages etc - paid
MyWi - turns the iphone into a wifi router - paid

could you not get the unlock from o2?

Thanks masseur,

I bought it on O2's pay and go so guess I would have to wait a long time fr the unlock code.

I have cydia installed, and now need to learn how to download non-iStore apps!

I will certainly check out those apps you mention!

I got my 3GS on payg but I only used my original 3G contract sim in it so they unlocked it without question. But yes, if you don't do that you do have to wait 12 months, but make sure you regularly use your payg sim so that the phone keeps showing up in the O2 system, especially as you get close to the end of that 12 months. Also make sure you restore it back to non jailbroken/unlocked status closer to that time too.

in cydia, just use the search or browse to find the titles I mentioned, or anything else of interest as in the sections tab its all organised by category

Thanks for that advice masseur!

I am not sure yet but might put the pay and go sim back in it, and the vodafone sim back to the BB Bold.

I guess a factory reset would restore the O2 settings and just need to change apn?


I think if I keep it on o2 pay and go I can still enjoy the apps that you said!
