iPhone iPod tip

Great new tip. If the iPod is running on your iPhone, double pressing the home button brings up the iPod controller. Which lets you fast forward and rewind, and jump to your iPod. Great!

IPhone OS 4.0 - I love it

The iPhone OS looks great. The reveal shown on Engadget

Here are my thoughts;



1. Multitasking looks excellent. Now I can put the radio or Spotify/Lastfm in the background. How do you close apps though. Apple said you don't, but if all apps remain open, you'll have a lot to scroll through.



2. Folders. An excellent way of organising the home screen. This is great... Because past my 3rd screen it is a mess, and it will be great to organise, and not be limited by the 180+ limit of apps on the home screen.

3 Desktop picture; finally!

4 Digital zoom 5x. Excellent! I wonder if newest iPhone will get a flash?



5 ibooks. I've already used ebooks on my iPhone, and they work well. But it will be great to have a facility hooked up to the iTunes payment system.

What I'm not so excited about;



1 Integrated inbox - I personally like having them sepatated... How are you going to specify which account the mail should come from.

2 iAds great more ads, great :-(

Things I'd like that you can't buy

The 40th Floor - 70s skyscraper fire disaster movie



Moondial - childrens bbc creepy ghost drama. You can get on VHS but not digital :-(

The doughnut song in Friends where Monica is dancing at the end, eating doughnuts "do the salivator" or something like that, apparently its studio library music, and you can't get it.

The movie soundtrack to Ferris Bueller's Day Off



Tickets to The X Factor shows, or even the audition would be cool.


Geordie Racer and Darktowers, childrens educational videos. Geordie Racer theme tune http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=84A2zZlVPSI&feature=related awesome! And that got me onto "Why don't you build yourself a word?" http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=eiJMr9ffdsY brilliant!
