Blogging from my iPhone

Tuesday, July 22nd, 2008

Wow, I’m blogging from my iPhone with the new wordpress iPhone app. The interface is great. You can blog locally and publish later.

I think you can add images inline (find out after I publish this post). One major thing missing is the ability to link text. However without cut & paste, it is already a challenge to share links on the iPhone.

Updated:

  • Added links via the old fashioned way
  • Here is a video from Wordpress

I Think I Found My Favorite iPhone App

Yes, of course it is the Lightsaber app, what a completely useless but amazing creation. Can’t wait to get my hands on the new iPhone.

What others are saying about the App Store:

My 2nd Generation iPhone Wish List, Whats Yours?

Monday, May 19th, 2008

Are you nerdy enough to recognize the above device? It’s the “pad” from Star Trek of course. To me, and perhaps a few other fans out there the iPhone represents a step closer to this little piece of Hollywood magic. Insanely networked, voice activated and adaptive to any need this device is the holy grail of bright handed goodness. So as we know version 2 of the iPhone is just around the corner, what new features and delights will it hold? I thought it would be fun if a few bloggers posted their wish lists. Here is mine:

  • 3G: This is a must at this point and from what it appears going to be a reality. The EDGE network is painfully slow and its time for us “catch up” with the rest of the world.
  • Better Camera: This also appears to be included according to rumors. The current camera is terrible in most cases unless the conditions are perfect.
  • Video Recording: I want to capture small videos from my phone, doesnt even have to be steller quality. If I could use it with a service like Qik I’d be in love.
  • Cut and Paste: Can’t think of how many times this would come in handy for email/web usage. When the original version shipped somone made this really nice proof of concept video:

  • More than 8 Browser Tabs: I’m sick of seeing that “You Have to Many Windows Open” message. What can I say, Firefox has spoiled me. I want to have at least 20 tabs open at any given time.
  • Tactical Feedback: For all you blackberry users who like to whine “I need to feel the keys!”. This alone would bring in droves of new users who just aren’t ready to let go of their archaic wittle thumb keyboard.

So those are my simple requests, what are yours? Blog about and link back here. Lets see if we can get a little meme going on it.

iphone 1.1.4

Tuesday, February 26th, 2008

iPhone 1.1.4 firmware is out! I just upgraded mine but don’t see anything new. Looks like its just bug fixes and possibly updates for the upcoming SDK.

I’ve also given up on jailbreaking my phone, far too much hassle just get those fun but typically useless apps.
