The following post will concentrate on the impressions of an iPhone user without promoting or humiliating Apple’s product.
iPhone appeared when the level of mobile devices development showed necessity to combine a phone, book-reader, pdf reader, digital voice recorder and mail client in one device. Hp hx4700 was the only device of such kind previously, but its operating system was far from being perfect. Finally the decision was made to embody all these functions in Apple. (more…)
Most programmers did not expect it to appear so soon, but here it is.
There were a couple of fixes that were expected to be fixed, e.g. battery life.
Let’s see what new features it demonstrates:
1. The first and foremost is the option to save the original videos by pressing the “Save as copy” button
2. Ability to copy/paste numbers into iPhone application dialer (conversion of alphanumeric phone numbers into real phone number)
3. iPhone vibration when switching on icon-wiggle mode (notifies of any accidental activations). Very useful!
4. MMS function seems to be set as default (still not working for AT&T users).
5. Voice control via Bluetooth
But still it’d be better to wait for the final release version of the iPhone OS 3.1 which is expected to be more stable.
I’ll update this post as soon as new features appear.
Intellectsoft is up to the latest iPhone arrivals and new tendencies on the mobile apps market.
It became known recently that Apple AppStore rejects all applications utilizing Google Voice. The following reason is pronounced: «duplicate features that come with the iPhone». Official Google Application faced this problem as well. This is how Google commented this situation:
«We are trying to create Google-aimed applications for several platforms, including iPhone. But Apple did not allow our application appear on Google Voice AppStore when we tried 6 weeks ago. We will continue working on other applications for iPhone users – for example the ones working through the browser»
www.techcrunch.com suggests that the AT & T company is the one to blame for the occurred situation which protects their commercial interests by pressing Apple. Such assumptions are put forward by other Internet users as well.

Being one of the most popular mobile devices of modern times, there is constantly much speculation about the release date of the next version of iPhone. Two versions have been released so far – iPhone 1G was launched on June 29, 2007, and iPhone 3G, the second generation iPhone, was introduced on the 11th of July 2008. If you keep track of events in mobile industry, then rumours about a new version of the iPhone OS, version 3.0 which is to appear soon don’t seem strange to you. Apple announced that the new version (unless you join the developer program) will support over 100 new features that we’re all excited about. Some of the biggest updates include:
IM systems have taken a firm stance in our lives, being used anywhere and by everyone. Taking into account their spreading speed everyone wants to stay “online” not only at home in front of a computer, but also “on their way”. It’s be even more pleasing when used in such a device as iPhone or iPod touch.
There are several applications fulfilling this task available in AppStore – AIM (1.3), Palringo IM (1.2.2), IM+ (1.3), Beejive IM (1.0) and Skype. (more…)
