ON IPHONE

skip forward to about 54:00.

i was asking for a first hand review of functionality

Oh. Try this then:

ok lol at the rotary phone one

caek, really are you that much of a dick

hi, i am curious how the AIM app works as i cannot try any of this stuff out until i get home. someone who has installed 2.0 and succeeded in downloading an app, please let me know how it works. this seems to be a thread regarding S/D iphone apps, thanks!

WHY HAVE SOME ROUNDED CORNERS AND OTHERS NOT

oh and download firmware 2.0 now apparently

Every time I select something, iTunes recenters itself on my screen.

"caek, really are you that much of a dick"

No. You seem to have a v. sandy vagina today. This was far from obvious from your original question, which asked something else entirely. Seriously, how AIM works on iPhone is actually interesting and relevant to this thread, so that's what I thought you were getting at. I got your lovely "ON IPHONE" response when I attempted to clarify and a "thanks for nothing" after I spent a few minutes scrubbing through the keynote video looking for the section I thought you were looking for. So The Google link was in response to you being aggressive and ungrateful toward to a genuine attempt to answer your question. I think you'll live though.

the new itunes remote program sounds amazing, and something I've wanted (and probably posted about on ILX somewhere) for years.

^^^ everyone comes out of this comment thread looking good

aim app only works while running. You give it yr details once, it remembers them. Tabbed interface -- buddies, statuses and live I'm conversations. It's pretty neat.

Nnw is a disappointment. Offline Reading is nice, but UI not polished, no control over feeds, no unified, poor browser. Very 1.0

iTunes remote is fucking awesome.

Facebook app won't sign in, ffs.

All the book readers are rubbish.

thanks, stet.

caek, i don't see how you were being anything but purposefully obtuse. obviously, i was asking how the official AIM client works on the iphone, from someone who has used it. if my sandy vagina is clouding my vision then i must be mistaken.

I wouldn't say you were obviously asking for first-hand experience with AIM on the iPhone; I assumed you wanted PR-speak "this is how it works"-type hype info, as well.

what is itunes remote?

does AIM use push?

i'd bl-app

caek, i don't see how you were being anything but purposefully obtuse. obviously, i was asking how the official AIM client works on the iphone, from someone who has used it.

I took "how does it work" to mean, y'know, "how does it work" not "how is it to use". Apparently you meant the latter. I wasn't being obtuse.

whatever dudes

how do I shot 2.0 fmwre on unlocked iphone? : (

Apple's free Remote Application (iTunes Link) is also available and allows you to "control the music on your computer or Apple TV from your iPod touch or iPhone. Play, pause, skip, shuffle. See your songs, playlists, and album art on your iPod touch or iPhone as if you were right in front of your computer. Remote works with your Wi-Fi network, so you can control playback from anywhere in and around your home."

oooh that is cool!

I haven't used the itunes remote app yet (soon I hope!) but from what I've read, it lets you display and play from your computer's itunes library on your iphone/ipod touch. It does it over wifi.

xpost yes that's better put

All the book readers are rubbish.

damn! do any of them at least let you skip to a given page in a pdf? i'd settle for that, really.

AIM will use the push-style stuff, but only when that goes live in september, i believe.

Yeh push isn't live yet. Toby I've got one more to try that might.

iTunes remote is the killer though. AirTunes has needed it since launch.

really looking forward to trying that one out when i go back in, i have to say [and also looking forward to having home internet again so i don't have to keep going outside to download apps etc].

2.0 running now, just tried the facebook app. might well make my first actual purchase in a minute (mlb.com).

*weeps*

nyt app seems v v slow on edge - might be sticking with their mobile site, i guess.

you bitches have the screenshotting function now too apparently -> press the sleep/wake button while holding down home, the screen will flash white and the pic will be saved to your camera roll I think

how does iphone work

ON IPHONE

how does flush headphone jack work

on the internet?

true!

Buried in the full changes for iPhone OS 2.0 is "Cisco IPSec VPN support"

Did I miss this before, because this is a HUGE WIN for me

ON IPHONE

oh god me too! (do)

Did anyone buy Monkey Ball yet? For me that is the iPhone killer app, not Safari or Mail or a portable telling phone.

Holy shit, i need this in my life

If no one laughs (hey, that can happen) bring your own laughter.

remote control is surprisingly great. Somehow much more satisfying than I imagined, and good that search is in there.

am i to understand that you can use your iphone to search your computer's itunes library, and then play/pause etc the songs on that computer?

yes that's how i do it too, but stevie d is on windows when not on phone so

Plus that trio fucked up horribly for me and I lost a ton of notes.

i haven't had trouble with it since i started being careful about not having two copies of NV open at the same time. but yeah, potential for havoc.

I'm doing this thing where I forget almost everything on purpose

Straightforward (and accurate) OCR app? Best I've found so far is MS Office Lens, but you have to upload the scan to Word or other MS product. I'd like to just scan and immediately have text that I can C/P.

FB app will not let post the first comment on a thread, comment button does not seem to work. If there are existing comments I can click on those to get comment box.

I don't know if this is the best place to even ask this, but does anyone know the best way to download or print iPhone text messages? A client needs to turn over all text messages between himself and 3 or 4 other people; too many for screenshots to be feasible. (He doesn't have a Mac and some of the texts are w/ non-Apple users, otherwise he could just print from Messages.) I've Googled this and it's still unclear what's worth buying.

There's a way to extract it from a back up; hold on

Thanks, Stevie. Let's see if the client can handle it....

anyone heard of Mobdro? it's absolutely blowing my mind. streaming tv with basically everything you could want. i'm old and out of touch so more than likelyit's either a) well known/passe, or b) malware/trojan or something

c) both ;)

As far as I know, it's as safe as the next unauthorised app. Lots (and lots) of people use it though with little (if any) reported problems.

Not been able to find it in the App Store? Only something called mobdro but for music only? Confusing.

There's a few different apps called that in the store, I'm curious which one you're using?

It's not in the app store. I just searched mobdro app and downloadEd from a mirror
It's been pretty great so far.

Mobdro apk, not app

Yeah, you'll have to sideload it as it's banned by Apple and Google.

I bought a $2 alarm clock app in which I can "record" the steps I take to my kitchen (coffee pot) and the alarm is supposed to ring until I get up and walk there each morning, but it doesn't work properly. Anyone got a good alarm clock app that does GPS well?

do smartphone GPS's work well enough to reliably/consistently measure, like, several feet? In my experience there's always been a several-meters margin of error but I haven't fucked w/ anything in a few years so ymmv

They don't work indoors, in any case...

I have a big apartment, so it's a good 30 steps! I just want something that knows I am no longer in my bed. I can do math while half asleep and turn off those quiz-based alarms easily :(
I fell asleep at a PJ Harvey concert once, I am a champion sleeper

I fell asleep at the Harmonia concert at le poisson rouge in 2008... while standing up

(I'd just gotten out of the hospital to be fair)

i was not aware of that

Use it all the time.

My kid found these the other day. I rarely use iMessage but who cares this is awesome

any recommendations for video-editing apps other than imovie?

Lumafusion?

are you sure?

My wife just started using it. I watched some of the tutorials with her and it seems pretty damn powerful.

I myself am not a video guy tho

Had a thought this morning that I should start checking ebooks out of the library, and managed to do so over lunch via the OverDrive app. Pretty easy process and works great. Any other good library-associated ebook readers out there?

Overdrive is the runaway market leader there afaik

Reeder v3 is now free — still by far the best RSS reader imo

Overdrive is the runaway market leader there afaik

HATE reeder. It’s too goddamn gray. Fiery Feeds forever.

Libby is great. Simple easy.

Reeder my favorite iOS app, period. V4 underway (hence promo on v3)

You can change the colour scheme in Reeder now

Yes, to more kinds of gray.

Gave up on Reeder awhile back and switched to News Explorer. Staying there.

Scanner app recommendations?

I have happily used Scanner Pro for years.

Why would you need an app for that? I find the native Notes app to be more than adequate.

https://support.apple.com/en-us/HT210336

OCR, automatic file naming etc.

If you use it like once a month then notes is fine. If you’re trying to go fully paperless it is not up to the job.

Notes has OCR and file naming...?

yeah I have to keep copies of all the dumb paper documents I receive, because of French bureaucracy, so I need something robust for this

i just took a picture of the front page of a newspaper and it automatically named the file "telephone numbers".

I don't want to speak for everyone, I have both models of the newest iphones (and before that an ancient SE) and have never encountered a problem!

Just table some anecdotal input on the native app tally for me.

Dropbox does a good job at scanning.
