Re: The IPhone and Battery Life

2009-10-25 Thread Abdul Kamara
Hi Scott, On your point about screen curtain on VO and the macbook not reducing battery consumption, there is a good reason for that. Screen curtain only sets the color of the screen to black. It does not turn off the backlight. To get the best of both worlds on your macbook, that is, p

Hi Nicolai and Søren, I'm not sure how many Danske Folk there are on this list. But for public transport in Denmark there is a rejseplanen app for the iPhone. It's been a life saver for me. best, a On 13 Oct 2009, at 18:13, Nicolai Svendsen wrote: > > Hi > > Can it handle bus routes? Just

Hi Rebecca, Assuming you've yet to upgrade your iPhone to OS v3.1, you could "jail break" (unlock) the phone. However, such a move would be nothing short of a cat and mouse game. Depending on how long you'll be on this side of the pond, the anxiety may not be worth it. I should also add

Oh how sad... I bet the people at Microsoft were "squirting" all over each other Zoons in hand when they came up with that... Yeah, this is one of few areas where I would criticize Apple. It is problematic when Geniuses know nothing about the accessibility components of the operating syste

Gosh, I guess I should be thrilled about this. But it's a bit anticlimactic. My sense is, the article is sourced from a calculated leak on the part of Apple, to stoke a bit of excitement about a rollout most people saw coming. That said, I'd be very interested to see the difference in de

Hi Keith, I agree with much of what has been said on the topic so far... The output seems to be the same and quality is too subjective a thing on which to make a definitive claim. What I can say is there are possibly other considerations you should take more onboard, assuming you haven't

Hi James, I found the article referenced and the discussion on "This Week in Tech" (TWIT), podcasted on the 12th of this month, rather interesting. Objectively, it can be said that by blocking the Pre, Apple is practicing the same anti-competitive monopolistic behavior characteristic of Mic
