Over a month after having the iPhone I’m still playing with it. The App (application) store has grown to thousands upon thousands of games, utilities, applications and software. I’ve gone through about 45 so far myself though admittedly, I only keep a handful of my favorites on the iPhone. There’s a lot of crap in the App Store as well but that’s to be expected. So far only two things are REALLY lacking with the iPhone. The ability to copy and paste, which is being developed by third party vendors, and the ability to receive images within a text message. Sounds simple and almost every other phone out there does it. One more quick tip for all of those iPhone users out there. When you get constant application crashes over and over it probably means you just need to hard reboot the phone. Hold down the top button and the home button down for at least 6 seconds until the shut down screen comes up. Slide the slider over and shut down. Then hit the top button again and bring it back to life. Problem should be solved and if not you may want to do a full restore. ... Permalink

So this morning I downloaded WordPress for the iPhone which was just released Tuesday and so far it’s pretty cool. As a matter of fact this is my first post using it. Not too bad. I do need to figure out how to add external links using this though. In the meantime head over to WordPress.org for the plugin. Update: here’s the link for those of you interested in downloading it. It automatically opens the iTunes store. WordPress for the iPhone ... Permalink

Ok so every time I try and update or upgrade an application on my iPhone I get this “Unknown Error: 0xE800002E. After some adjustments I was able to find a method to resolve, or at least update my apps. Here’s the key: 1. Go to Applications in iTunes under your iPhone panel 2. Set the applications sync manually and only choose the ones that aren’t giving you problems. This will remove the troubled apps from the phone completely. 3. Sync up the phone. 4. Go back into the Applications tab of your iPhone and reselect the ones that were just... Continue Reading

I’m sure you’re all pretty tired the whole iPhone hype by now but I’ve gotta tell you, I love this phone. It does everything (except copy/past and run flash). If you roam around Lifehacker and Gizmodo I’m sure you’ll find lists and lists of great software apps and downloads for the phone. There’s not much missing in this iteration of the “Jesus Phone” (I didn’t make that up). The only drawback I’ve found so far is me getting used to using the keyboard and the fact that the BlueTooth headset by Apple wouldn’t stay in my ear and kept falling... Continue Reading

Never thought a gadget could get me this pumped but the new iPhone has done it for sure. After dragging my ass out of bed at 6:30 am I skipped breakfast in leu of coffee and granola bars and hauled ass to the AT&T store across 95. When I got there around 7:15 and there were already 24 people in line. Yeah, I counted them. So I grabbed my stuff and sat down and watched Sprout, a really cool surf movie. Around 7:30 a woman came around handing out sheets with information on plans and had us all write down... Continue Reading

Has never been one of my strong suites. I finally heard back from my inside guy over at AT&T and it looks like I’ll have to wait with the rest of them. I had asked if he could grab one off of the shelf and hold it for me but it looks like they’ve got two armed policeman guarding the locked storage door where the iPhones are kept. Crazy, right? He says he doubts they’ll run out and will try and hold one if he gets a chance, still he has no idea how many he actually has back there.... Continue Reading
