Iphone findings
These notes were sent to me by my friend who loves his Iphone and lives in Hong Kong. Hope it’s useful, thanks Mikey and I hope he doesn’t mind me putting this online
“Here are a couple of things I found about the iphone that i’ll share
with you guys.
Amazing discoveries about the iPhone:
1. The text input takes some time to get used to, but it knocks the
HTC Touch’s stylus input for six! Basically have to trust it. In fact,
its much easier on moving transport than stylus input.
1a. If the iphone does suggest a word that you are likely to type, it
will suggest it then you just need to hit space, or punctuation mark
to confirm. Otherwise tap on the suggested word to remove it and
continue.
2. If you manually dial number of someone already in your address
book, the iphone identifies it directly underneath it.
3. You can rotate coverflow and webpages 90′ clockwise or anti-
clockwise.
4. During text input you can hold your finger over a section to bring
up a magnifying glass.
5. Gmail and Facebook are specially adapted for the iPhone.
6. Lan Kwai Fong has loads of bars with free wifi!
7. The pinch to expand and shrink webpages or photos is amazing, and
fonts displayed beautifully. They enlarge and sharpen up, not
pixellated.
8. The iPod music still remains excellent.
9. Voice calls were alot better than my old Nokia6670!
10. You can set the Home button so that when you double tap it, if
brings up basic iPod controls, even when the screen is locked.
11. The volume buttons also adjust the iPod volume.
12. Movies need to be imported as M4V files. In QuickTime, you can
select the option “Export movies to iPhone.”
12a. I torrented VisualHub which requires a serial key. The default
settings when optimized for iphone produce smaller files, yet look
sharper on iphone than those generated by QT7. Also handles queuing…
I think I might forgo the cost of the Turbo.264 now!
13. To quickly type punctuation marks, touch the “123″ key and slide
the finger to the symbol then let go.
14. The real beauty of the iphone is the slick integration of all the
built in apps. You snap a photo then assign it to a contact. That
person calls and the music fades out. Another friend calls and you
create a conference with one press. During the call you hit the Home
button and go to the photo app then select a photo, email it out while
talking. You end the call and the music resumes flawlessly. Life is
good!
15. These notes were entered in Notes. One touch and its now part of
an email.“
