- iPod touch 101: Access playback controls during lock
Filed under: iPhone 101
Here's a nifty iPod touch-only feature that isn't yet implemented on the iPhone. When your touch is locked, double-tap the home button. iPod playback controls instantly appear. You can do the same thing from your home screen and get the bonus of a "Music" button that takes you instantly into the iPod application. Give it a try. I'd have taken a screenshot but Apple hasn't let us into the touch yet to install custom software like that. The best part? It looks like this feature will be coming to an iPhone near you soon(ish?).

The Guardian newspaper seems to have its sources right, as today sees Steve in Germany to announce the availability of the iPhone there. The 8Gb model will go on sale on 9th November (anyone want to bet against a November 9th launch for France being announced tomorrow?), cost €399 ($553 / £276) and will require a 2-year T-Mobile contract. T-Mobile also points out that "By the end of 2007, T-Mobile will be the only network operator in Germany to offer EDGE throughout its entire GSM network" - at least some European operators are ensuring the data technology is commonplace before offering the iPhone. There's currently no word on how much the monthly contract will cost, but I'm sure we'll hear about that shortly.Комментарии к сообщению:

Filed under: Switchers, Tips and tricks, Odds and ends, Mac 101
There's a lot to love about the Mac's user-friendly desktop and one of my favorites is the Dock, otherwise known as "that spot at the bottom of the screen where all the application icons line up." Here are a handful of nifty tricks for the dock that new users might like to know about, and long-time users may have forgotten.Continue reading Mac 101: Three Dock tips

Filed under: Hacks, How-tos, iPhone
Arrrr, me hearties. A TUAW exclusive for your iPhone today (since it be Talk Like a Pirate Day). Download a copy of Pirate.app onto your iPhone and you're ready to turn any landlubber into a true Pirate. (A package should be available through Installer.app by the time this post goes live.)
Launch the app, aim the camera at a loved one, and tap Stop. This stops the preview and freezes the picture. If you don't like it, tap Start to go back to a live preview.
After freezing, arrange the props -- pirate hat, mustache, beard and parrot -- as you wish. Then tap Snap. The iPhone captures your work and creates a new email photo enclosure for you to share with loved ones.
Shiver me timbers! Now that's a good reason to keep the iPhone a semi-open platform!

http://www.tuaw.com/2007/09/19/tuaw-iphone-turns-your-loved-ones-into-pirates/#comments - Coming in iPhone 1.1.1. probably
Filed under: Analysis / Opinion, Open Source, Software Update, Apple, iPhone
Eagle-eyed reader Travis (thanks!) went over Engadget's photos of the O2 iPhone announced yesterday morning, and sussed out every little feature and update he saw on their iPhones that current owners don't have. We can only believe that the iPhones shown must have already been updated to 1.1.1, and that US iPhones, via Software Update, will receive these features soon.
- Now Playing controls everywhere!
- Double clicking the home screen goes to Favorites or iPod, similar to what the iPod touch can do now.
- The iTunes WiFi Store (well duh)
- Closed captioning, and the already leaked support for Video Out.
- New Calculator icon-- to match the iPod touch as well
- International keyboards
- Network setup with VPN support and EDGE disabling
- A "Carrier" menu, but your guess is as good as ours on that one. This could simply be a European thing, as their rules may not match American regulations. I really don't think AT&T would like to see Apple give the ability to unlock iPhones from their service in the next major software update.

http://www.tuaw.com/2007/09/19/coming-in-iphone-1-1-1-probably/#comments - Jobs: "It's our job to stop them breaking in"
Filed under: Apple Corporate, Bad Apple, Apple
Computerworld quoted Steve Jobs today, about whether Apple will continue to stay ahead of hacking efforts. "It's a cat-and-mouse game," Jobs said. "We try to stay ahead. People will try to break in, and it's our job to stop them breaking in." This is not especially good news for iPhone and iPod touch[TM] owners invested in unlocks and third-party enhancements--or for third party vendors like Belkin and Griffin, with their unapproved docks that will not work with recent iPods. Apple's recent firmware and hardware releases lend weight to TUAW's argument that Apple is working on tightening security and their "Made-for-Apple" focus.
Thanks to hourog.
