iPhone 3G observations

Ack :- Jason D. O’Grady

Jason shares his experience on iPhone 3G observations …

iPhone 3G

After almost a week with the new iPhone 3G I have some additional thoughts that I wanted to share on my experiences:

  • As I previously mentioned, AT&T’s 3G coverage is completely non-existent in my area, despite AT&T’s coverage viewer claiming that I’m blanketed in 100 percent 3G. Something is very wrong. Luckily AT&T/Apple offer a 30-day return period where you can get out of the contract.
  • I tested 3G in neighboring towns (Avalon and Ocean City, NJ) and it’s indeed fast.
  • Most iPhone 2G cases, especially ones that are hard or form-fitting (like silicone skins) won’t fit properly on the iPhone 3G because it’s 1mm thicker in the middle and more tapered at the edges.
  • Syncing to MobileMe from a computer is set by the System Preference and the fastest interval is 15 minutes although you can select “Sync Now” at any time.
  • Idea: iPhone’s mail client should be able to access iDisk in order to send attachments from the iPhone.
  • Applications over 10MB can only be downloaded from a Wi-Fi connection – not over 3G or Edge. Apple needs to put the size of applications somewhere easily visible in the App Store.
  • In order to address developer line jumping in the App Store Apple should add sorting by release date (newest on top), and user ratings in addition to popularity (which they have now).
  • 3G data can be accessed while making a phone call, unlike Edge, which cannot.
  • Screenshots can be made on the iPhone 3G by pressing home and sleep at the same time. The screen flashes white and the shot is stored in the camera roll.
  • While in Safari mobile, the button for “.com” can be switched to .net, .edu, .org or .com by holding the key for two seconds – a boon for people that visit .org and other TLD’s.
  • Mobile phone/GSM reception is definitely better thanks to the iPhone 3G’s plastic rear panel. I can now get one or two bars of reception in areas of my home where I previously got none.
  • Some applications that are desparately needed:
  • An app that toggles 3G, EDGE, Wi-Fi, Bluetooth and even the cellular radio to conserver battery. Bonus points if they add a schedule feature to, for example, turn off all the radios while you sleep then turn them back on when you wake.
  • A WordPress and Movable Type client for blogging.
  • A cheap gas finder.
  • A FileMaker client.
  • The dock is no longer bundled with the iPhone and costs US$30 when purchased separately.
  • The 3G dock now has a flush front allowing it to be used easier in dock.

Privnote Lets You Send Messages That Self-Destruct

Privnote

What is Privnote?

Privnote is a web tool that you can use to send private notes over the Internet.

What makes Privnote different from sending a regular email or instant message?

  • You get a link to the note, and once that link is clicked the note is destroyed so it can only be seen once. If someone intercepts the link and sees the note before the person who’s intended to read it, that person will know that the note has been eavesdropped, and can tell you about it.
  • If you want to be notified when your note gets read you can do it by checking the notify box located below then note. Neither email nor instant messaging provides a reliable way to know if, let alone when, your messages are read.
  • If you send a note and suddenly regret having done so, you can click the link yourself which will destroy the note and prevent the receiver from reading it.

Sending links in emails is as easy as writing the note in the email itself, so why not add a little extra privacy at zero cost? Besides, everybody knows how to click on a link so you won’t have to explain anything new in your email.

Mindbloggling salaries are just a click away

Source :- IBNLive.com

New Delhi: For those of you who think blogging is just a pass time, here’s a myth breaker: for some, it’s a job that could earn you as much as Rs 1 lakh a month.

Welcome to the world of Amit Agarwal, one of the few professional bloggers in India. Agarwal started blogging two years after quitting his job at a software company. He now earns several lakhs a month. So how he does make his millions?

“I get sponsors who like to put advertisements on my website,” he says.
www.labnol.blogspot.com started as a technology blog where you’ll now find everything from ways to translate Hindi webpages to English, keys to read full copies of popular magazines, tips and tricks to use Wikipedia more effectively.

The site packs in more than 5,000 articles and is loaded with the kind of stuff that does not make to the newspapers but just the kind of stuff that more than two million people want to read every month.

If you want to click as a professional blogger, start posting five to seven times a day. Entries should be original and content consistent. But most of all, you need to be patient. Agarwal says his blog only started making money after about a year.

While cyberspace itself is the best teacher, you can learn to design, create and operate online content.

At Indian Institute of Journalism and New Media in Bangalore that offers a graduate and post-graduate diploma in new media and Asian College of Journalism in Chennai holds a post graduate diploma in new media.

You can set each clock’s colour, or even have a clock change colour during certain hours (perhaps green when it’s a good time to Skype your friends in Japan). Too much stuff in your statusbar? Move your clocks to a toolbar, or switch to ‘icon’ mode and hover over the FoxClocks icon to see your clocks.

FoxClocks’ Zone Picker tree lets you browse virtually all the world’s time zones by country, region or city. Enable automatic database updates and you’ll always have the right time.

Following is extract from RimWeb.Com

After a lot of Experiment and Strugle, I m succeeded in converting TATA PLUG2SURF to RELIANCE PLUG2SURF.

I brought a Sungil Make scx-1080 USB 1.x CDMA modem form TATA TRUE VALE SHOPE without Activation, after I installed the TATA dilar software in my PC, I placed the Reliance R-UIM in modem and connectd to PC, launched the dilar software, Dilar sofware asked me to enter PIN Number then I enterd the PIN no and MOdem is instlalised but i did’t found the Signal on dilar software and message is appeared “MIN VALUE IS OUT OF RANGE” after inserting the R-UIM more then five time my phone is locked. and message is appeard “PHONE IS LOCKED CONTACT SERVICE CENTER”. I tried to contact the Authorised service center and I aske him to convert this to Reliance He said taht is operator locked and it is not possible to convert.

After doing Throughly investagation and experiments I got the clue wher the phone is locking and MIN value is comparing with R-UIM. Ther I have done some modification I pluged the modem inserted the Reliance R-UIM and I got reliance signal (if signals is available modem will display green LED otherwise it display orange LED) Manually I have done the configration of modem setup and Internet connection setup after this i m able to connect the reliance to access the internet.
