Jabra Halo Bluetooth Wireless Headset »
by Glen A. Last December, I reviewed on this site the Motrola S9HD Stereo Bluetooth Headset. At the time, the main issue I had with it was the fact that the iPhone, which I also have, did not support the A2DP codec. In the intervening time, that problem was solved by one of the iPhone [...]
Comic book downloads through App Store »
by Glen A. In my postings about the iPhone, I’ve mentioned that I don’t use all of it’s functions. For the most part, it is a cell phone. I occasionally use maps, listen to music and surf the internet. Lately, however, I’ve been poking around the App Store more, almost exclusively among the selection of [...]
Apple iPhone 3G 8GB (Black) »
by Glen A. I wasn’t going to buy an Apple iPhone 3G. I was going to wait. For what I use it most for–phone calls, texting, some web surfing, perusing the app store here and there, listening to the few songs I do have on it and once in a while I take a gander [...]
Motorola S9HD Stereo Bluetooth Headset »
by Glen A. In my ongoing quest to unleash the full power of my iPhone (okay nothing quite that dramatic), my search for a wireless headset to answer calls and potentially listen to the songs on the iPod part of the iPhone took a turn for the better when a friend suggested I get the [...]
Jawbone with Noise Assassin »
By Glen A. Since the iPhone came out, I’ve been looking around for a hands free solution for answering my phone while driving. As of this writing, there aren’t many devices made for the iPhone. One of those that I decided to try was the Jawbone with Noise Assassin. I bought this at the local [...]
Update #4: 4GB iPhone »
By Glen A. I’ve been noticing some kind of idiosyncrasy with the battery life on my 4GB iPhone. One thing I learned quickly, thanks to the posts of others in a couple forums I read, was not to charge it overnight. Something happens to the battery if you do that a lot. So, I’ve been [...]
Firmware Update 1.1.3 for iPhone »
By Glen A. Another free update for iPhone firmware became available via iTunes earlier this month. A couple of cool features should be noted. Icons can be now be rearranged on the home screen, or sent to another page of the home screen, so they can be divided between the two. This will make it [...]
Update #1: Agent 18 Eco Shield for iPhone »
By Glen A. One of our iPhones was dropped on the street. It was covered with the Eco Shield at the time and while the Eco Shield did get pretty scarred in one corner, the iPhone is still in perfect shape, inside and out.
iPhone »
By Evan A. On June 29, 2007 a gift from Apple swept across the nation. This huge phenomenon was called the iPhone. This beauty was the first phone made by apple and it definitely made a huge splash. Now, with cell phones able to purchase and play music, get on the internet and installed with [...]
Griffin Powerjolt car charger/sync cable for iPod/iPhone »
By Glen A. Forgot to mention that in addition to the other accessories I bought for the iPhone, I also bought three Griffin Powerjolt car chargers. These are slick because they also act as a sync cable, too. The one end fits into the iPod or iPhone, and the other has a USB connection that [...]
iTunes $60 Multipack at Costco »
By Glen A. Final thing for the iPhones this Christmas were iTunes gift cards. I bought them in $60 Multipacks from Costco. There are four cards valued at $15 each inside, which worked perfect for our family of four. The cards can be used by going to the iTunes store, clicking redeem, and then following [...]
Agent 18 Eco Shield for iPhone Clear »
By Glen A. Along with the iPhone, everyone got Agent 18 Eco Shields for Christmas to protect their phones with. I got three clear ones and one black (because that’s what they had at the Apple Store at the time). They are durable, but plastic, so you do need to be careful. They can slip [...]
Update #3: Apple 4GB iPhone »
By Glen A. Since everyone knew they were getting an iPhone for Christmas (just too hard to keep the secret so long), I saved those for last. It was cool to have them activated and ready right out of the box. Trevor, my oldest, of course, is a pro, since he’s had his for over [...]
Update #2: Apple 4GB iPhone »
By Glen A. The Sprint accounts have expired (all but mine, anyway, which I’ve found out since got bumped to February due to a change I made and so I’m going to pay the $150 early disconnect fee anyway) and I’m getting ready to set up everyone on a family account. Or I was, but [...]
Update #1: Apple 4GB iPhone »
By Glen A. I mentioned in the original post (see below) that I was concerned about whether or not the batteries would die if I didn’t immediately open the remaining iPhones I bought and get them charging. Well, I decided I should open one of them and see how it was, since it was well [...]
Apple 4GB iPhone »
By Glen A. Ever since the iPhone was announced, I wanted one. When it finally hit the street earlier this year, I waited. Like many, the $499 and $599 price tags gave me pause. Sure, this was an Apple product we were talking about, and an extremely cool one at that–what with the touchscreen and all–but paying [...]
