TheJesusComic

Wed, 09 Dec 2009 01:06:36 GMT

TheJesusComic has been added to the App Store! This was an idea originally thought up by Jason Ramasami which I have been helping turn into an iPhone app. More info here.

If you have an iPhone and download it, let us know via Twitter what you think! (There's also a free lite version called Nativity.)

Internet tethering with iPhone for O2 UK

Fri, 08 May 2009 18:06:36 GMT

With iPhone OS 3 (only available to developers at the moment) you can tether your phone to a laptop and access the internet via 3G! This is all legal and above board. For O2 Pay and Go (or PAYG) users based in UK, you just need a file called o2_uk.ipcc. Download it, then email it to yourself and open the attachment with your iPhone. Restart and go to settings, general, network, and enable internet tethering. When you connect to your laptop via usb it should detect a new network device!

Download Skype for iPhone

Tue, 31 Mar 2009 18:18:59 GMT

It's finally here! iPhone Skype is now available to download. It worked well earlier, although a couple of times there was no sound... There's no video conferencing yet and some other features are missing, but nevertheless it's good to have.

Sync Google Calendar with iPhone

Mon, 08 Dec 2008 19:32:31 GMT

Here's the utility many mac users have been wanting for a while - something that'll sync iCal with Google Calendar. With that working you can automatically have the new iCal appointments synchronised with your iPhone. How cool is that?!

For those wanting a better idea of what it'd be like to own one of HTC's new Google Android G1 phones, here's an emulator.

How does it compare to the Apple iPhone?

iPhone vs G1

Tue, 07 Oct 2008 15:34:48 GMT

Further to a previous post, it looks like Android does still have downsides. Unlike the iPhone there is no PAYG yet, and the headphone jack is non-standard. It also looks like they're going to do the usual thing of ripping off UK customers by charging them a contract rate of £40 per month (c.f. $30 in US).

No answers yet on whether they can differentiate themselves by allowing users access to the internet from a laptop, and whether VOIP apps like Skype can be run...

T Mobile G1 and Android market

Tue, 23 Sep 2008 16:49:41 GMT

Details of Google's answer to Apple's iPhone, the G1, are emerging. Sounds like its camera will be 3MP (that's 50% more) and will also include a compass. Nothing to rave about yet but the price sounds like it could be reasonable too at around $200. No decision's been made yet but I'm glad I resisted and didn't buy the iPhone the other day! Android market will also surely be more open than the App Store... The manufacturers are HTC, a Taiwanese company - another thing in their favour!
