My bedroom is directly above my office. This morning, we heard “bzzz bzzz bzzz.” We thought it was Elizabeth’s cell on the night stand. Nope, it was my cell phone, vibrating on my glass desk in the office downstairs. Of course, we could barely hear Marimba playing at full volume. But the vibrations coupled through… Continue reading Really, the iPhone’s ringer volume is too low

With the Safari web browser on iPhone, you… Continue reading Misleading Apple info from Apple.com
How iPhone handles popup menus
A little video shot with my MacBook Pro (video flipped in Quicktime Pro) on how the iPhone represents popup menus in Safari. On another note, does anyone know of shock therapy to keep me from saying “uhm” during silence? 🙂

A new way to use an iPod – Listen to TWiT in your pocket!
Maybe I was too harsh on the speaker volume. Tonight, because I could not use my in-car audio adaptor, I listened to today’s TWiT via the speaker. I sat the phone on the passenger seat which stayed perfectly still thanks to the rubber case I bought for it. I paused it while in the store,… Continue reading A new way to use an iPod – Listen to TWiT in your pocket!

According to Apple Insider, Apple will be releasing new iPhone features, including an IM client, “very, very soon” and also along with Leopard in October.

The iPhone is a dud

Be careful with those mobile to mobile minutes
So of course all of us new iPhone users made a bunch of calls last night to play with our toys. I checked my bill this morning and found that all of the calls had been billed against my 5,000 night and weekend minutes, not my unlimited mobile to mobile. Oh AT&T, you sly dog.… Continue reading Be careful with those mobile to mobile minutes
