Guest Rambo Posted July 6, 2010 Share Posted July 6, 2010 http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=FZC8kKVeSbg it is actually a very lush app, the pictures of the day look amazing, the gps makes it even better. nice one rambo! any more recommendations? Not really to be honest though there are a few good augmented reality ones. The main one is Layar but i haven't used it. Google goggles should be amazing but they haven't released an iphone version yet - they are supposed to be soonish. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Hhgfz0zPmH4 http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=GgcE_EQRpdA Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I've just downloaded that for my phone now and tried it, we have somehow reached the future I tried it with a tatty copy of American Psycho, a rather faded looking Chinatown I got from a friend and the latest Deepchord presents echospace album and it picked up every one first time !!

Guest pulsewarrior Posted July 7, 2010 Share Posted July 7, 2010 strangely i have not even been billed for mine yet....they auth'd it and then it fell off. it's been 1.5 weeks now, no charge. i would be blessed if at&t fucked up the billing and i get this for free : ) that's the pattern, the charge will reappear right before shipping. also, if u upgraded they will charge u upfront for it, before the phone even ships. hell, i got charged before it was even released! Oh no, I've had the phone for almost a week now. The charge came minutes after I placed the order on the phone, then dropped off two days later. It hasn't re-appeared. :O Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Downloaded it earlier for my Android phone and it's great. Works 95% of the time I've say. Might be useful abroad, when scanning foreign signs and text.

Rubin Farr Posted July 16, 2010 Share Posted July 16, 2010 so we all get free cases huh? no software fix, no recall, no redesign? Jobs seems increasingly infuriated that the public would actually question his judgement, like he's the god of us all. this was the closest you'll ever see to an apology from this guy: and check out their crazy secret testing room, shit looks like something out of Portal.

kcinsu Posted July 16, 2010 Share Posted July 16, 2010 I just don't see how they didn't notice this in their testing... I imagine that there was a fairly large number people involved in making and testing this... And no one notice this flaw? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I imagine that there was a fairly large number people involved in making and testing this... And no one notice this flaw? i read it is was pretty much a fault of their super secrecy. since they wanted to hide the look of the phone so bad, all of the outside testing in the field was done while the phone was in a case, alleviating a lot of the hand interference issues.

Guest pulsewarrior Posted July 17, 2010 Share Posted July 17, 2010 just watched the press conference. interesting data there. .55% of users reporting ANY antenna/reception issues via applecare, 1.7% return rate so far (33% of the 3GS in same release period) and <1 more dropped call per 100 than 3GS in same period per ATT data. nevermind the fact that these grip/reception issues are easily reproducible on nearly all other smartphones. the whole thing is a load of shit. i will say that the youtube vid preceding the press conference is extraordinarily douchey Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
