I went to update some app on my iPhone and was blocked by a page saying that yet again the user agreement has changed! What has changed in it you may ask? Well I have no freaking idea. The agreement was 59 pages long! I did not want to wast my time sifting threw all that lawyer speak, I just wanted my apps updated. So I’m just one of the millions out there who jumped to the end to say “I Agree”. I really hope I did not sign my life’s saving over to Apple ( or something worse”.

Just updated my iPhone to the newest OS (4.something) and way very happy to finally see a simple but big feature that has been missing from the start… CAPSLOCK!!!!! I double tapped the shift by accident and it stuck! I don’t know how I gone so long without this feature.

I’m about to update my phone to OS 4. I hope all goes well.

100+ New User Features

With iPhone OS 4, iPhone owners will enjoy over 100 new features that make it easier to interact with apps, manage email, read books, and more. New features include the following:

• 

  Multitasking

  Developers will have access to seven multitasking services, which will allow tasks to be performed in the background while preserving performance and battery life. So you’ll be able to make a Voice over IP call while playing a game or checking email, find a restaurant on Urbanspoon while listening to Pandora, and more.

• 

  Folders

  Organize apps into folders with drag-and-drop simplicity. Get faster access to your favorites and browse and manage up to 2160 apps at once — many more than the current limit of 180 apps.

• 

  Even Better Mail

  See messages from all your email accounts displayed together in a unified inbox, switch between inboxes more quickly, organize messages by threads, and even open attachments in third-party apps.

• 

  iBooks

  The best way to browse, buy, and read books on a mobile device. Easily flip through the pages of a book you’ve downloaded from the iBookstore while listening to your music collection. Browse tens of thousands of books — many of them free — by title, author, or genre. You can even check out reviews and read sample pages before you buy.

• 

  Developers

  With a rich set of over 1500 new APIs, the iPhone SDK 4 provides developers with a broad range of technologies to enhance the functionality of their iPhone and iPod touch applications. Developers can use these new APIs to make their apps more powerful, more feature rich, and more amazing than before. They can even use new GameKit APIs to develop for Game Center, the social gaming network Apple will launch later this year.

iPhone OS 4 Compatibility

iPhone OS 4 will work with iPhone 3G, iPhone 3GS, and the second- and third-generation iPod touch this summer, and with iPad in the fall. Not all features are compatible with all devices. For example, multitasking is available only with iPhone 3GS and the third-generation iPod touch (32GB and 64GB models from late 2009).

***warning DO NOT WEAR WHILE DRIVING OR OPERATING ANY MACHINERY***

A few weeks ago I came across the OpenFeint app in the iTunes App store.  Since the app was free and it promised me free games I installed it.  Each day there was a new free game of the day (some sucked, others were awesome) but the key factor was…. THEY WERE ALL FREE…(enough said)

I live in a new development with lots of construction going on. Yesterday afternoon a bobcat truck snaped a temp cable that my phone/internet company ran to my house (they waiting for the grown to thaw so they can properly trench it).

Of course as soon as the line broke our phone an internet connections were toast. This wasn’t the end of the world execpt I had planned to video Skype with my day ( who lives a good 3 - 4 day drive away). I knew that my iPhone supported teathering, but never really used it. Since I had nothing to loose I turn on teathering and connected my phone to the computer. To my surprise not only did it work be we had a full video chat without any freezes or other issues. I have to say I’m very impressed with the speed of the 3G network and ease of use with the iPhone.
