HiPhone i32 on the way to my house
Ahh the HiPhone.
Since I found out about this little gem I can’t stop reading about it and see it everywhere I look. There’s WAY too much to list about it, so I won’t go into details until I get my review up, but here’s a Google link so you can read until your hearts content.. or you get sick.
It’s supposed to be the best iPhone clone out there, but I wanted to see if it could even come close to my beloved iPhone so I just ordered one to play with. 
It’ll be here in a week or so, so after I play with it for a while I’ll write up a review.. should be interesting.
– Update –
Ok, I just got an email that it’s on the way.
I’m guessing it will probably be here by Monday, so hopefully around Wednesday I’ll put up the review.
Iphone SDK released today, update coming in June.
Apple made good on their promise of releasing the iPhone SDK today.. of course we’ll have to wait until June to use any of the apps.
Update: Apple has just posted a link to the ‘March 6 Event’ .
This post has a really quick rundown of the conference Apple held today about the SDK.
iPhone 1.1.4 released today!
Well, iPhone 1.1.4 firmware was released today.
I installed it and so far the only updates i’ve heard about (through Macrumors) are:
- Faster camera - Definitely faster on my phone
- Bluetooth Connectivity improved - looking forward to testing this in my car
- Safari tabs don’t go to white screen when switching - This would be nice as well
I’m in the camp that believes the firmware is just a prep firmware for the SDK and iPhone applications to be released so I’m HOPING that’ll be this week.
My iPhone scared me today.
So I had a full charge on my iPhone when I left the house this morning.
I got to work and went to make a call and the phone is BURNING hot and totally locked up.
I powered it down until it cooled off and then powered it back up and the battery was almost totally drained… it’s charging now and seems to function OK.
I don’t want to deal with a faulty battery, so I made an appointment at the Apple store, hopefully I can get a replacement. I’ll post back with the results.
Apple files patent for AppleTV widgets.
Ok, so I thought this was very cool.
Just came accross this article that states that in August ‘06 Apple filed for some patents related to AppleTV that would allow for widgets to be displayed with the video.
Apparently some of these widgets would allow for additional content, interactivity and even iChat capabilities, etc… cool stuff!
You can read the whole article at AppleInsider.
