30 Days of iPhone - Final Thoughts
I’m bringing the 30 Days of iPhone to an end without actually doing 30 posts on it. Why? Because there is literally nothing left to say. Here’s what it all comes down to in a nutshell.
In my opinion, the iPhone is great. It’s is beautifully designed, the experience with it has [...]
30 Days of iPhone - Day 21 “iPhone 1.0.1″
So, Apple released an update to the iPhone. At first, it seemed like the update was just a few security issues and bug fixes, but there are also a few minor new features in here that are worth noting.
For example, there is now a BCC option in the mail app. Also, the Passcode [...]
30 Days of iPhone - Day 20 “.Mac on iPhone - Mail that Just Works”
You may have noticed I haven’t done these everyday. I decided to wait until I actually had something to write about, rather than just filling this article with pointless junk. So, it’s going to take more than a total of 30 days to get through the whole thing, but I think when we’re [...]
30 Days of iPhone - Day 19 “Gmail and Yahoo Suck on the iPhone”
I love my Gmail.
I love my iPhone.
I hate them together.
Half the time I attempt to check my mail it can’t connect to the pop server. If you set it up through the Gmail button on the iPhone it wants to send you a copy of every email you send from the iPhone. So if [...]
30 Days of iPhone - Day 18 “Random Thoughts”
Well, I can certainly say that the “shine” has worn off of my iPhone. What do I mean by that?
Well…I’ve gotten used to having the phone in my pocket now. I don’t stare at it until my eyes hurt anymore, and I’ve stopped sending emails on it when I’m in front of my [...]
30 Days of iPhone - Day 17 - “The Big Four”
Now that I’ve had a few weeks to play with them, I think it’s time to take a look at the “big four” applications on the iPhone. the Phone App, the Email App, Safari, and the iPod App.
Phone - To me, the Phone App is classic Apple design. Either you’re in love with [...]
30 Days of iPhone - Day 16 - 5 Fun and/or useful iPhone Applications
The iPhone has some great built-in applications, but the surge of web apps even in these early days, is very interesting. Most of the things calling themselves “Apps” are little more than websites reformatted for the iPhone, but there are a few programs out there that are actually nice iPhone-like applications or interfaces.
Here are [...]
30 Days of iPhone - Day 15
This is the “anti-iPhone” day of the series. I am spending today NOT using the iPhone as much as humanly possible.
Why?
I’m trying to find out if my recent chronic eye strain is iPhone related, and thus far, it seems like it is a factor, but not the whole factor, because my head is [...]
30 Days of iPhone - Day 13
I kind of got off track with the whole Macbook Pro Battery adventure, then yesterday I had the lovely experience of my very first migraine headache.
Good times.
Now, however, it’s time to get back into the swing of things with the 30 Days of iPhone coverage. It never occurred to me when I decided to [...]
30 Days of iPhone - Day 12
Today I’m going to take a reader’s suggestion, and do a post entirely of the things I dislike about the phone at this point. Later this week, I’ll do another post entirely of praise for the things that I do like about the phone.
Mail - The mail application has a lot of great features [...]
