Research
Hello everyone: I am a long time WAMUG member and am currently working on a PhD in Customer Evangelism at UWA with Associate Professor Jamie Murphy. Of course, Apple and MUGs can be a great focus for my research. I would like to do some data gathering around WAMUG, specifically relating to analysing the mailing list threads and contributions. When writing up my research I would not include anyone's name or any data which would lead to revealing the participant's identity. The papers I write can be made available to anyone who wishes to see them. I can email the list when they are ready if you would like. Please let me know if you have any concerns.

Re: iPhone question ?
3G = Use battery mondo quickly. I need to charge mine about every second day. However it does charge reasonably quickly i.e. around 90mins from flat, off my Mac Mini's USB port. I don't bother with the external charger, though I think I may invest in a car charger for weekend charging in the car. My previous phone lasted for at least 3 weeks between charges. So the two-daily charging routine is a bit of a bummer, but the phone's abilities more than make up for it and I figure Apple will improve the battery life with time. Hope this helps Greg Bell On 02/08/2008, at 1:33 PM, Stephen Chape wrote: I had been pondering an iPhone as I am already with Telstra Next G. However I noticed some reports stating that the battery life seems to be a big problem. Some users say they have to charge it avery 24 hours. Now a friend I have in the IT Industry is saying that his only lasts half day before needing a re-charge. Has this been a problem for any WAMUG users, or is it just massive use that creates this problem ? This has really made me think twice about getting an iPhone next time I upgrade !!!

2 x Lime iMacs free to a good home
Hi... I've got two tray load Lime iMacs free to a good home. Preference to anyone who wants both of them. These are 266MHz G3's with 288MB of RAM and a 6Gb HD Pick up today from Innaloo preferred, but other options negotiable. Includes original 'hockey-puck' mouse, keyboard and power cable. Have not been able to locate the original install disks though :( Otherwise it's freecycle then recycling.

Has this been a problem for any WAMUG users, or is it just massive use that creates this problem ? This has really made me think twice about getting an iPhone next time I upgrade !!! Stephen, the iPhone is not a simple phone, it is a mini computer. My iPhone gets far more use doing non-phone things than I ever used my old phones for and hence its battery gets used up more rapidly. My more recent Windows Mobile PDA-phones though not 3G would still would also chew through the battery when I used them for long stretches reading ebooks or GPS etc. Because the iPhone does even more using the far faster (and more battery hungry) HSDPA 3G standard, it is to be expected that the battery ends up lasting that much less time. For those times you really need to stretch the battery life out, turning off 3G doubles your battery life and turning off wifi increases it even further and restricting your GPS usage also helps. The iPhone 3G actually has the best battery life of just about any other 3G phone as PCWorld found: http://www.pcworld.com/article/148348/article.html (only slower EVDO Blackberry phones had slightly better battery life) If my battery is getting low after too much web browsing or Google Maps or ebook reading (or too many games!), I just plug the USB cable in when I'm at work or at home and will at some point also get a car charger for long trips. You can also buy external battery packs like the Belkin or JuicePack iPhone battery pack etc. http://fastmac.com/iv.php So if you want a phone that will take advantage of Telstra's NextG 3G network that you're currently on, the iPhone is an absolutely first- class choice. Don't let battery life be what stands between you and an iPhone. -Mart Martin Hill email: mart at ozmac.com homepages: http://mart.ozmac.com Mb: 0401-103-194 hm: (08)9314-5242 -- The WA Macintosh User Group Mailing List -- Archives - http://www.wamug.org.au/mailinglist/archives.shtml Guidelines - http://www.wamug.org.au/mailinglist/guidelines.shtml Unsubscribe - mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED]

Re: iPhone question ?
Stephen, Phones that work on currently superior HSDPA/UMTS networks, such as Telstra's in Australia, use energy in counterintuitive ways. My LG TU550 gives me wider reception in country fringe areas than any other handheld with which I have compared it, with about a two day battery life on fringes with minimal phone/data use. However, when I am out of range the battery lasts for about 11 hours only! Must be doing lots of frantic signal searching at full transmitter power across the 4 frequency bands and 4 systems that the phone is capable of. The moral of the story is that the more capability your phone has, and the more capable the network you use, the less will be the battery life, unless there is a big breakthrough in battery technology. I don't think that will happen at a reasonable price in the next few years. When travelling in my vehicle, I have the phone continually plugged into a car charger, so battery drain is no problem. Bushwalking is a different matter, when I have the phone switched off except during pre-arranged timeslots. If you have a UMTS-capable phone, and plan to travel overseas, the following may be helpful: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_Deployed_UMTS_networks Remember that old rule-of-thumb; the higher the frequency, the shorter and more unpredictable the reception pattern.
