Re: [H] Iphone 4 power

2014-12-19 Thread Anthony Q. Martin
The 4s charger will provide 1A @ 5v. Just go on Amazon, look up the charger, 
and make sure it matches. Should work as most usb chargers work at 5V The 
current output can be more, the same, or less than 1A. Typically, it is the 
iDevice that refuses to charge if it doesn't see an apple charger. But the 
chargers don't care what is on the other end. The kindles come without chargers 
because most people already have suitable chargers.

I have not personally used the iPod Touch but since it is the same
hardware and same software I don't see why someone wouldn't just get
an iPhone.

[H] iPhone review

2007-10-05 Thread Brian Weeden
I just wanted to give you guys some feedback on the iPhone.  I know we
are all tech geeks here and haven't seen a lot of talk about it.

I bought one about 3 weeks ago at the Apple store in Syracuse, NY, on
my way to Montreal where I am living now.  Yes, it was an impulse buy
but mainly it was because my original phone had died and I wanted an
unlocked quad-band GSM because I travel a lot.

Good Things:

The phone interface is incredible.  My parents were at the store with
me playing with the demo while I was in line and within 5 minutes they
had figured out how to take pictures and flip through albums - a task
that would have taken months on a normal phone.

Yes, typing is a bit tricky with two thumbs.  It took me a solid
weekend of practice to be able to do it at decent pace.  But it is
more a challenge to break your existing Treo/Blackberry typing habits
than it is difficult to type on the iPhone.

The iPhone is simply the best ipod ever.  Period.  (this is coming
from a guy who has owned 3 iPods and a Zen).

The screen and metal backside are surprisingly durable and
scratch-resistant.  You actually have to work to do any damage, unlike
some previous iPods.

Downsides:

The latest firmware, 1.1.1, breaks all current unlocks and hacks.  It
doesn't brick your phone (unless you really screw with it) but it will
return it to an AT&T only state and will remove all mods and apps.
There is a way to revert to the older firmware but no jailbreak for
1.1.1 yet.  It's a real shame because there are some brilliant
third-party apps and games available for free.

Only syncs with iTunes which means Linux users are screwed until
someone hacks it.

The iPhone has a recessed headphone jack which is just deep enough to
render most normal headphone plugs unusable without an adapter.  They
are cheap ($6) but still it is an irritation.

No GPS.  The custom google maps is really sweet (like an
appelized-version of the real google maps) but if you don't know where
you are it loses some functionality.  There is a software package out
called Navizon that for $20 it will try and triangulate your position
using cell towers and public Wi-Fi nodes.

No 3G, only EDGE.  Which for me isn't an issue because Canada doesn't
(AFAIK) have a carrier with an unlimited data plan.  So I don't use
the edge connection, just the WiFi.  It works great but if you aren't
near an open WiFi hotspot then you can't use a bunch of the iPhone
features.

Overall all I am very happy and have no regrets what so ever.  Unless
they come out with a 16GB version with 3G and GPS next month :(

2007-06-30 Thread Brian Weeden

I'm in Beijing until 26 August so I will be waiting until then at
least :)  If the reports from users are not too bad when I get back I
might look into it but for me the two big issues are that is lacks GPS
and lacks 3G.

I'm hoping that by fall other manufacturers will have their clones
out, hopefully at better price points, and maybe fix a few of these
overlooked features.
