Official iOS devices thread

Yep. Air Sharing is taking the case of every other file manager out there (especially since its free).

[aryayush]

I hate these developers who release their good apps, that they ought to be paid for, for free and spoil the party for other hard working developers who’ve a similar paid application.

[goobimama]

^^ Totally agree!

[Tanmay Satpathy]

Updating to Iphone OS Ver 2.1 now.

where to buy unlocked iphone 3g 8gb /16gb online in USA . my friend is coming he is asking for the site where he can buy and take it for me to india . his zip code is 75042 and 75094

[goobimama]

^^ Okay I've had it with this guy. There's no reasoning nor there is any sense in his posts. For every one ends up being "Where do I get the iPhone?". You can't get the iPhone from the USA dude. How many times does one have to tell you that?

[Tanmay Satpathy]

Today I have purchased another two games :

1. iJezzball (reminds me the Win3.11 times, Jezzball from Microsoft Game Pack)
2. BreakClassic (Similar to DXBall / Brick game with touch controls)

Both games are really addictive. I love such games

@ aryayush & goobimama, the smokingapples initiative is really informative.

Enjoyed the file manager shootout. Did you miss AirSharing from the list?

[goobimama]

The review was written like two weeks before it was published so yes, AirSharing did miss the list. I did mention it in the comments though. Thanks for visiting

When will we have 'Creative EP630i' in India?

SonyEricsson really spoiled us by giving 'Addictive' headsets with deadly 'earplugs'.

Now,hearing music in ordinary headsets is really 'noisy'.

I'm happy with EP630 but only problem: there is no mic.

Anyone tried EP630i or any other headset for iPhone?

[Tanmay Satpathy]

SonyEricsson really spoiled us by giving 'Addictive' headsets with deadly 'earplugs'.

Yeah, thats the problem i am facing with N95 & iPhone.

I use one in-ear headset from Panasonic... dont know the model though. The headset costs me 2k approx.

@goobimama and aryayush, what is new in OS 2.1?

Anything new except the genius playlist in iPod?

[oval_man]

Anyone using unlocked iPhone with Airtel or Vodafone?

plz share ur experience!

[goobimama]

Yeah, thats the problem i am facing with N95 & iPhone.

@goobimama and aryayush, what is new in OS 2.1?

Anything new except the genius playlist in iPod?

For one it fixes a lot of bugs. Makes the system faster. Other than that, features wise Genius playlists is its only change. It also features some enhancements in the UI of the iPod section.

Here's a post on the 2.1 software and what changes it brings.

[Tanmay Satpathy]

Till date two of the games are my favorite:

1. BreakClassic (i am a die-hard fan of the brick games)
2. FreeBee Sudoku... The best among the free flavours of Sudoku

@goobimama... one thing i really like of the 2.1 software... the drastically reduced sync time

[aryayush]

And the instantaneous installation.

[Tanmay Satpathy]

Thanks ayush, that is also a nice feature.

I have also installed BiiBall lite and chesspuzzles.

BiiBall is really addictive. However i found controlling through accelometer is a bit tough. Think i need lot of practice though.

[goobimama]

There's a lot of negative talk about the accelerometer being used in iPhone games. Says it makes em difficult. If the games weren't difficult, they wouldn't be fun to play with now would they? Getting the hang of the Accelerometer is just part of the deal with iPhone gaming. And its not like the games are meant for kids, cause they are not the target audience of the iPhone.

(Certain genres like car racing are a bit 'uncontrollable' with the accelerometer, which is why I like the touch controls in Asphalt Elite Racing)

This post was not directed at you, Tanmay.

[aryayush]

Is Asphalt worth $9.99? We should wait for NFS, right?

---------------------------

@Tanmay Satpathy,
It used to be even better when you couldn’t control the speed with the accelerometer. Now it is too hard.

[goobimama]

Asphalt is definitely worth the asking price. NFS does look good, but this game certainly rocks. The graphics are good, and the gameplay is superb. I say we go for it.

[SunnyChahal]

NFS would kick any other game's arse.Let the baby(monster under the hood) come.

I am waiting for spiderman on iPhone.Touch-screen free roaming would be awesome only if activision in interested.
Is iPhone poweful enough to compete with PSP ?

[goobimama]

Processing powerwise, I don't think so. By in terms of being an awesome gaming platform, sure!

[SunnyChahal]

Awesome gaming platform?No except a few games.We want some better games.Enough of puzzles and solitaire.
Believe me free roaming games like spiderman,GTA would rock iPhone gaming.

[goobimama]

Well I didn't mean right now. As more games are developed, most people have iPhones, more places have wifi, the iPhone platform is certainly going to be one to look out for.

[aryayush]

No matter how good the games are though, most games just work better on devices with physical buttons.

[Tanmay Satpathy]

Physical button on gaming devices gives a feel of better control compared to touchscreen controls.

However, touchscreen controls along with the accelerometer gives a new dimension to mobile gaming. However it will be a long way for the iPhone to match with the gaming devices like PSP.

Just on question, is iPhone apps got uninstalled by just deleting the icons?

[goobimama]

Yeah, that's how you uninstall apps.

[aryayush]

But they remain in your iTunes library, should you wish to reinstall them later.

[Tanmay Satpathy]

That means i can uninstall paid apps also... without losing them?

Is there any resources for iPhone ringtones? (website/converter from mp3/wav/midi)?

[goobimama]

Even if you delete them from your iTunes library, paid apps are linked to your iTunes account, so downloading them again is free unlimited number of times.
