January 27th
As you may have read on TUAW, Engadget, or Gizmodo this morning, Apple has confirmed January 27th as the date for their much rumoured event.
With the sub-title “Come see our latest creation” and the invite being splattered with paint there is a lot of speculation around what this means. Personally I think it means come and see our new product and the paint was just an accident and someone got fired for making a complete mess of those shiney new invites. Whatever it means you can bet we are more than likely to see the tablet, and new iPhone OS, maybe even a new iPhone will be announced.
All too familiar?
Over the last few months my iPhone’s battery-life had gotten worse and worse, to the point where I could barely make it through a single day without falling below 20%. Most days, I was charging twice a day. So when I stumbled across a tip on an Apple discussions forum which ‘cured’ my woes I was elated. I’ve been testing this tip for the last week to make sure it wasn’t just a placebo effect, and it definitely works (for me at least). So here it is. Read More
The Photos App: Quirky and Sneaky!
The Photos app on your iPhone is the gateway between you and the photos you’ve taken, and while it’s certainly simple to use there are some quirks and sneaky tricks to be aware of that you may not know. Here’s how to use it effectively to get the most out of your photos.
The response.......
So we said once we got a response about the TomTom car kit charging issue we would let you know. Well here it is, the “official” response from TomTom. Now sit down, get a coffee and be prepared for a bit of a read as this may take a while….
Jade Software - pic from stuff.co.nz
The Dominion Post have posted a story on stuff.co.nz today about Jade Software, a Christchurch-based programming house, that has produced eight iPhone apps (so far) as part of an experimental project designed to “take [employees] outside of their comfort zone”. Pretty inspiring stuff, and a good read. Hit ‘Read More’ for the link.
It doesn't want to charge whilst using any of these!
Ok so recently I went on a trip from Christchurch to Dunedin, the perfect opportunity for me to play with my TomTom car kit and really give the tun-by-turn apps a run for their money…. or so I thought.
iGO My Way
Another day, another GPS turn-by-turn navigation app! Or at least that’s the way it seems with so many coming along recently. This time we’re looking at iGO My Way 2009 from NNG Global Services of Hungary. By now the turn-by-turn GPS navigation app market is becoming pretty saturated with some very solid offerings from reputable companies already on the table, so any new entrant is going to have to put out something pretty compelling to compete with the established choices — so does iGO cut it? Read on for our review.
Having Issues?
Now I am sure there are a lot of people who just got their iPhone so continuing on with our iPhone Basics posts (it’s been a while since we did one) we thought we’d give people the heads-up on the differences between Lock, Shut Down, Force Quitting and Resetting your iPhone. You’d be surprised to know how many people don’t know how to turn their phone completely off. When we say ‘Switch off’ or ‘reboot’, we mean completely off, not “locking” the phone where you simply press the Sleep/Wake button on the top of your phone. Below is an iPhone Basics on this and also how to force quit apps and do a soft reset.
