    Photography app - question

    Guys, I'm using Camera+ and I love it, but I've noticed that it outputs a JPG file of each photo. A 5 megapixel photo is 2592 x 1936, so I'd expect a file size of around 5MB per shot. I understand that JPG is a lossy compression format and it's outputting ~1MB JPG images. I guess my question...

    iOS 5.0 features

    - I'd like to see the ability to create, rename, and delete multiple photo albums on the phone (not just via iTunes photo sync), combined with the ability to copy and move pictures between albums. - Better use of lockscreen/notifications. Does anyone have any other ideas for iOS 5.0...

    iPhone 4 - Finally!

    Finally managed to upgrade from a 3G to an iPhone 4, and I have to say that it's been worth the wait. The phone is way faster, and iOS4 really shines on the new device. Totally stoked. I also noticed that it synched my content in about half the time it would have taken the 3G. I copied 8GB of...

    HD video footage / iPhone 4

    Has anyone managed to work out how many minutes of 720p footage you can store on a 16GB iPhone 4? With regard to photos - at roughly 2MB per photo you can store ~7500 pics on the phone. I was just wondering what the breakdown with video was? Cheers, Steve

    Waiting for ios 4.0 in Australia

    12 am on 21/6 Cupertino time is about 3pm on the 21/6 Perth time (just under 3 hours from now), so I think I'll be checking for the upgrade a few times after that time. Realistically thought I'll probably won't get it until tomorrow (my time). Hopefully 4.0 will let me squeeze a few more months...

    Syncing iPhone to gmail contacts

    I am an idiot. I finally got this working. I had set up everything correctly on my iphone, and was wondering why my contacts weren't getting uploaded to Gmail. It kinda helps when you also tell iTunes to Sync with Google contacts (Info tab). Then it worked a treat. I basically created an empty...

    Jailbreak -> 4.0

    I've got a JB 3.1.3 3G. When 4.0 comes out, will updating to 4.0 reverse the jailbreak, or do I have to do a full iphone restore back to 3.1.3 before I apply the firmware upgrade? Cheers, Steve

    Hardware query (iPhone 4)

    Do we know how much RAM the phone has? If the A4 processor is the same as the iPad (1Ghz), 512MB RAM would be sweet. Steve

    Jailbreak & scrambled album art

    I recently jailbroke my 3G and had a fun old time. After a few weeks I restored back to 3.1.3 and went about my business. One weird side effect of this process is that my Album art displays incorrectly on occasion (Iron Maiden instead of Seal for example). Everything plays as normal, so it's no...

    SIManager

    The main reason I jail-broke my phone was to try and find a way to copy my contacts to & from my SIM card rather than rely on the iTunes back up (in the event something drastic happens to my PC). This package deleted the out-of-date numbers from my SIM card, and then read in and copied my...

    Google ActiveSync

    Hi peeps, I've managed to configure this and get my Calendar to Sync with no worries at all.. However, I've also tried to Sync my Contacts, and this quite simply doesn't work for me. I would expect ActiveSync to copy my 100+ contacts from my iPhone to my Google contacts, but this just doesn't...

    Apple now a "mobile devices company".

    Given that the above statement has been made by Darth Jobs, I'm just wondering what this means for the future development of Apple's non-mobile product lines? I guess the MacBook Air, MacBook, and MacBook Pro can still be considered portable devices, but I wonder about the future development of...

    The act of jail-breaking does...?

    Hey kids, When you jailbreak your iPhone, what actually are you doing to the phone in the process? I.e. What does (for example) Spirit actually do to your iPhone OS apart from copying Cydia onto your iPhone? It obviously does something to the file system that lets you SSH into it, so what...

    How are contacts physically stored on the iPhone?

    After Jailbreaking and SSHing into my iPhone to change my SMS tones, I got to wondering how Contacts are stored and whether or not I could manually back them up. Does anyone have any idea? Thoughts appreciated! Cheers, Steve

    Better contact handling in iTunes.

    Hey :) As well as the current method of synching contacts with ICal, Outlook etc, I'd like to see a Contacts tab added to the Summary Screen so that we could manually import to iPhone/export from iPhone/add/delete and edit contacts. Any thought on this? I actually managed to wipe my contacts...

    Upgrading from 3G to new handset - How do I transfer contacts between phones?

    Guys/Gals How do you think the transfer of contacts between phones will occur when we get the new handset? Will it be as simple as connecting the new handset and restoring from an iTunes backup (as that's where the contacts are stored, I believe)? I want the new iPhone when it comes out, but I...
