I did it with the SIM from my 5 year old BB from work. I tested out the data just to see if it would work since the BB work phones had only 15MB data per month.
Even more galling is that many RIM employees use iPhones. I have 3 friends that work there and I've asked about whether RIM gets mad at you if you use an iPhone on the campus. Apparently there are lots of people that do and no they don't seem to get in trouble for it.
Yeah, it's called don't use an app with ads if you don't want to see ads. Free apps that are ad supported are not new and the way to block it is to not download or use the app.
Your post just shows you have no idea what iAd is. You don't get ads while using the phone. Some free app developers can decide to put ads in their apps, you can chose not to use those apps if you want to. There have already been apps with ads for a while, this is nothing new.
I know of a guy that operates his commercial construction business around the Toronto area that way. Commercial construction jobs are notorious for screwing around all the contractors so if a job goes bust only the one shell company goes down.
I also think this is the future of general aviation. Commercial jets will remain with jet engines but I bet we start to see new light aircraft with electric motors and turbine generators. There's no room for heavy batteries in electric airplanes. The EPA is already trying to get aviation gasoline phased out since it contains lead still. Jet-A can run these(not gas) turbine generators and we will have one fuel instead of two. This may be a long ways off since there are a huge number of piston pounder airplanes out there.
Around here(SW Ontario), water well drilling is anywhere from $10-15/foot. So you may be talking thousands just to drill a few hundred feet. Add another few thousand for the well pump & hookup.
I think the RAM is the biggest issue on the 3G. If you plug it into XCode while using it, you can view the console log and apps are getting memory warnings almost non stop. I sometimes can't even listen to the iPod while opening another application and having the iPod quit. I used iOS4 since the first beta and actually beta 1 and 2 were even slower than beta 3 and the final version. Every time the iPhone 3G hits the memory limit, it slows down until it purges things from memory. This is happening a lot more often with iOS4 than it was with 3.x.x
Wrong. The range from 1-4 bars is about 13 dB but the range for the 5th bar is about 50 dB. If you have 4 bars on the iPhone it means your signal is crap to begin with so even a low amount of attenuation can drop you down to nothing. Their scale is wrong & misleading. After they "fix" it, I expect there will be many complaints since people will now be showing 1-2 bars where before they were showing 5.
The "fix" will simply allow someone to realize their signal sucks to begin with. If they are showing 1 bar and the call drops then they expect that, but if they're erroneously showing 4-5 bars and the signal drops they think there's a huge problem. I think this "error" is not an error at all, and Apple really set this bar scale like that on purpose for marketing purposes. People always think more bars is better so they calibrate it to show 5 bars even if the signal sucks.
Are you on crack? You don't think Steve Jobs uses prototypes before giving the go-ahead for production? You must not know much about the man to make a comment like that.
To support the automatic state suspending, you just have to rebuild your app with the iOS 4 SDK since by default an app built with this SDK version supports being suspended in the background. If you want your app to be able to complete file downloads or some other operation in the background you have to write some new code but it's not a huge hassle.
Yep, and this is exactly why there's no bloody task manager or keeping the apps running forever in the background on the iPhone. People would think they have to keep quitting apps manually if there was one.
There are a lot of estrogen mimicking chemicals we get exposed to on a daily basis. Other ones in plastic are xenoestrogens which are artificial chemicals that interact with the estrogen receptor. Phytoestrogens come from plants & exist in some soy products. I don't know what rock you live under, but many countries including the USA are having increasing fertility problems. Fertility clinics are doing better by the day since this problem is getting worse. Then you have the other problem of estrogens secreted in female urine which is left over from birth control pills. There are many rivers around city centres where fish are starting to become feminized & are having a hard time breeding. This is no scam, it's really quite a problem & will continue to get worse unless we change something.

Apple Announces iPhone 4

You'd better stop buying almost every single product in every single store then since nearly all of it is made in China or some other country with similarly low wages. I don't know how anyone can be shocked about Chinese workers getting paid a low wage, it's very common knowledge & the reason everything is made there in the first place.
Are you swearing off all Chinese made products? If not you are a hypocrite. Foxconn also makes non-Apple devices & products. Are you going to swear off buying these too?
"Foxconn produces the Mac mini, the iPod, the iPad, and the iPhone for Apple Inc.; Intel-branded motherboards for Intel Corp.; various orders for American computer manufacturers Dell and Hewlett-Packard; motherboards for UK computer manufacturer Zoostorm; the PlayStation 2 and PlayStation 3 for Sony; the Wii for Nintendo; the Xbox 360 for Microsoft, cell phones for Motorola, the Amazon Kindle, and Cisco equipment." http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Foxconn
I used to take a fat burner(which did work btw) with about 200mg caffeine per day and also geranium oil which is another stimulant. At first the energy is good but after about 2 weeks you feel you need one in the morning just to get your normal energy back. Getting off that shit cold turkey was hard for about 2 days and then after a week you're amazed how energetic you are naturally. We don't need all this caffeine that we drink. Better to stick to drinks with low or no caffeine like green/white tea & water.
I don't think that will happen any time soon. Carriers love charging you money and having you not actually use the service. They charge you $xx/month for xx minutes per month no matter if you use these minutes or not. Same with the data packages. If they billed by the GB then their revenue goes down drastically since most people don't come close to using everything they're paying for.
Yes and like I said, MS would have to add a lot to link to the iPhone SDK APIs since it currently is mostly used for Win32. No one is going to code an entire iPhone app in raw C++. Even in a game, you are going to use the OpenGL view classes plus other UI widgets from the SDK.
...about Apple changing it's developer TOS to say that only apps that were originally written in Objective-C or C/C++ then linked directly to the iPhone SDK APIs are allowed on the store, does anyone really believe that they'd now let VS compiled apps on the iPhone? I find it hard to believe that Microsoft would have created a complete IDE for the iPhone SDK to match the TOS as it is now. More likely they'd port the.NET runtime to the iPhone and then their IDE would develop.NET apps like it does now. This is the same as Adobe tried to do with Flash and we see how well that worked out.
The only hard concept for me was hooking the UI up to code. In VS you double click on some UI element and it creates the action code for you. With IB and XCode you create the action code manually and CTRL+drag a link from the widget to the code. A little more work but once you get used to it it's not so hard.

What the deuce
I'm sure you're basing this on your extensive experience testing all cell phones against the iPhone 4
Except Steve said LESS THAN 1 call more per 100 calls are dropped on the iPhone 4. That doesn't mean it drops twice as many calls as the 3GS.

Yeah, but his name is Gino and he supposedly has ties to the Italian mob so he's probably ok.
