Time names iPhone Invention of the Year

[goobimama]

Sure it's not both hands? I'll be going to the Apple store tomorrow. Will try it out with both hands and see...

 

[gagan007]

yepp goobimama...only if you use one hand...just give it a try...

 

[Tanmay]

good news....the proximity sensor seems to be working now....i rubbed my cheek now...but nuthing happened...

@aryayush...it does have installer.app...

WTF ! Then what where you doing so long ? Get a Gprs Connection or WiFi and start installing the Applications !!!

guys...want to share one amazing thing/incident with you....

in iPod, the applications (only picture app (camera and picture viewer) and music player rotate themselves when you rotate the iPhone....but it works ONLY WHEN YOU USE SINGLE HAND and NOT WITH BOTH HANDS...I had an argument over this with a friend...a very long discussion...and after that only we found out that if you rotate the phone with one hand only, the phone identifies it...
there are many more ultimate things that made me change my mind....I am not selling it now

Haha that can't be possible cause it has a electronic spirit level ! Use 2 hands or 4 hands it should rotate. Just to be very sure...I checked this myself and it works fine !

Umm... no. It rotates the display irrespective of the number of hands used (one, two... three?). Sometimes, you need to just adjust the phone a bit before it will recognise the orientation and rotate the display accordingly. Also, it does not work if the phone is places flat on some surface and you rotate it without picking it up.

One thing, can you guys suggest any other gadget which is more suitable for the title of "Invetion of the Year"

The Asus EEE PC?
The XO1 Notebook?
The Cowon iAudio A2?
The LG Voyager?
The Flash Disc Drives for laptops?
The 1000 function Swiss Knife?

There are many more things other than the iPhone for this award. The iPhone is not bad, its just not good enough.

and yes, none of them can win "Invention of the Year" because there are better "inventions". Like the new AIDS vaccines, the cytotron treatment, etc.

 

[goobimama]

AIDS vaccines! Where does one get one of those!

Anyway, I don't think this 'award' is for anything other than tech stuff. For the rest there is the nobel prize...

Sorry, you're a little late for the party. (you just can't beat the pace of Linux development)

The E6 has had a GBA emulator for long now and I've played and left many games on it.

LOL !! How can you even compare a Handheld Device with a full fledged Playstation !!! If you didn't know there's a difference of Zameen-Aasman (Ground--Sky) between Graphics of PS1 and GBA.

And FYI the iPhone already has a fully working NES and GBA Emulator ! The PS1 Emulator for a Mobile Phone is a FIRST !

Once again iPhone pwns all !

 

[aryayush]

But as long as it cannot send MMS, it's crap, right!

Eh ? It does send MMS....or u just being sarcastic again ?

 

[aryayush]

Yeah, that rolling eyes smiley ought to have done the trick.

 

[iMav]

A device that needs to be hacked and depends on 3rd party coders for making apps for basic operations is crap

and wat am gonna do with a software tht can only send and not rx

So that means you just agreed that Windows is the biggest piece of crap in the universe. right?

Get real man/v. The iPhone is a brilliant piece of hardware, and a not so brilliant piece of software. But still, as long as the hardware is brilliant, we can install better software in it free of cost to make it better. So as long as it still has that awssome hardware, I give it a thumbs up. Compare it to the Wii. It has brilliant software, but not so brilliant hardware. Its not as good as the PS3 for the same reason.

+1 The iPhone/s hardware is too good at its price. Just that Stevie crippled it in terms of software. But now that is going to change.

Ha! Ha! Good point.

not so brilliant piece of software

The software is what's good about the phone (and all other Apple products). Other companies can make well designed hardware too (though not many come close to Apple) but Apple makes the best software in the business.

I can't wait for the Pocket Linux Developers to finish the iPhone Linux. Damn lack of Resources.

Have you seen what Sony ended up doing by supporting(bribing according to iMav) developers to aid their efforts in making a good linux distro for the PS3(Yellow Dog Linux)? They ensured that their device is top class.

Ofcource, an OS manufacturer like Apple can't help other OS Developers...

its not that good... but its definitely eye-candy

Elaborate plz

 

[goobimama]

What's wrong with eye candy?

Take for instance the video player. It's absolutely perfect. There's nothing more to be desired there. Sure they have not allowed different codecs, but those are self imposed limitations. But the moment they add eye candy to it, everyone complains that the software sucks and it's all eye candy.

and wat am gonna do with a software tht can only send and not rx

Does this sentence make sense to ANYONE?

 

[aryayush]

The guy wants Linux on everything. If I'm not wrong, he was the one who once said that the iPod sells only because there are Linux variants designed for it. Now he's saying the same thing about the PS3.

Dude, you've got it backwards. There are Linux variants for devices that are successful. Devices don't become successful due to Linux.
