So my iPhone 4 impression after a weeken…

So my iPhone 4 impression after a weekend with it is pretty much it is very slick and fast. We have all read about all the great stuff, but a few nagging things still remain.

First is the fact that you have to switch to another app to send texts, which sucks. It was one of the key reasons I jailbroke my old iPhone 3G. At lest now some apps can be backgrounds so I dont lose everything but we need to be able to send text inside of an app.

Camera is a lot faster, but still a bit slow to load. Tho some reports this is a bug and could be fixed, but they said that about the older iPhones as well :\

Also I found a nasty bug with the backgrounding, it seemed some app locked up the GPS and caused it to hang and it would not release it. Which caused the phone to slow down, and the GPS would not work with any app. Only fix was to shut down and restart. Should have a “Shut all Apps” button.

Just a few initial thoughts on the iphone

iPhone 3G availability update

zuhaib — Sat, 12 Jul 2008 00:06:40 +0000

So late year I reported on this during the iPhone 1.0 launch that you can find out during normal hours (my old blog home: http://zuhaib.typepad.com/my_blog/2007/06/apple-iphone-av.html ) , not just after 9PM as the apple iPhone website states ( http://www.apple.com/retail/iphone/availability.html ), the availability of iPhones at apple stores. You do this by going to a URL http://www.apple.com/retail/iphone/feeds/3g_us_inv.json and checking your state and local apple store as to if its “true” for in stock and “false” as for not.

ie:

{"name":"MacArthur Center","storeid":"R211","city":"Norfolk","url":"\/retail\/macarthurcenter\/",
"available":{"black8":true,"black16":false,"white16":true}}

that shows that MacArthur Center in Norfolk is already out of 3G 16GB Black iPhone (wow that is a mouth full). But is in stock for 8GBs Black and 16GB White.

The top says it has a date but it seems to be more abou the launch time then when it was late updated as when I checked at 12pm PDT everything was “true” but now already about 5pm PDT things are showing up false at some stores, and guess what? Its mostly the 16GB Black ones. I have not fully checked it out, as, I wanted to pownce and post this up on my blog first =P

They might just be updating it for 9pm for people on the east coast but it wont hurt to get an extra peak under the hood. Also it shows that mabe the reports of the holdback might not be true as they are reporting no stock of the the 16GB Black phones. Hope this helps anyone looking to buy a 3G iPhone (I will be waiting as I am having a lot of fun right now with my old one).
