After a few days of shipment the new Apple toy - iPhone 3G 16 GB finally arrived, though I found the white one instead of the black one that I ordered. Surely Orange has run out of the black ones 16 GB versions and decided to send me the white one. I am a bit disappointed. I don’t like the white one’s look, though I wont replace it since I appreciate and the power of the device more than its look. Actually I am just about to order one of the amazing Gelaskins and I will surely forget about the white back of my iPhone.
The new iPhone 3G is amazing, though there is not so many changes to the old version, but the faster download is the most important. GPS is OK, though it is not very handy for driving. It is ragher good tool when you are lost somewhere or you need to find the fastest and the shortest way (but you will have to keep the eye on the map to stay on track). Aside of the other amazing functionality there is at least two that are pretty handy. Both of them are available on the dark side of the force… on Cydia.
I am about to sign up to Apple iTunes Store, though.. I am waiting for my new credit card. Apple doesn’t accept Polish debit or virtual visa cards, so I have no possibility to sign up for legal apps. Worth to mention is the fact that Apple iTunes Store in Poland is limited to the iPhone apps (even not all of them are availlable). Music is not available for us. At the moment I am actually cut off of Apple Store, but not all handy apps are available over there. There are at least two apps that are available only for jailbroken iPhones, and the one is very important to me.
Aside of LAN at home I am also a 3G mobile internet user. I have actuall two services. One is provided by PLUS GSM together with USB 3G modem (HUAWEI E220) and the other is an additional 3G Internet service to my paymonthly contract with Orange. The Orange internet service suits my iPhone perfectly while the USB modem is for my MacBook. This weekend I found a problem. I am off for the country while my wife is going to stay at her family house. She wants to take with her a laptop and internet - obviously my USB modem with PLUS GMS service. I was about of spending the weekend with the internet limited to iPhone. Luckily I have found a great app - iPhone Modem, that changes my iPhone to a 3G, WIFI modem. The whole system bases on Mac OS X app that sets up an ad hoc wireless connection with Iphone and the iPhone app that works as a modem. Though it doesn’t work with Firefox (at least it needs some additional adjustment) it works fine with Safari.
The other apps are Cycorder that turns iPhone into a video camera (with reasonable quality) and MXTube that allows to save on the device and play offline videos from YouTube.
and the old one iPhone 2G? My wife is lost, she is mad about Mahjong
