There is now a useful, and free photobucket app. You can post pics on your account, and the biggie is you can get the img code to post pics from your photobucket here on badweb, right from your phone. Thought this was a useful app you guys would be interested in. No more getting beat to the punch in the riding game thread, since you'll be able to post your pic right away, not have to ride back home to do it on the computer. | ||

Nice - I wish picasa had something like this | ||
| Danger_dave |
Does Safari work? | ||
| Phelan |
Yeah, the new update is great. I've had the PB app for a while; you could upload the pics before but had to go to photobucket.com to get the IMG code. Now you can do it in-app. Awesome. | ||
| Xl1200r |
Safari only lets you view photos on Picasa - no uploading. | ||

I had looked at the first version a while back and it looked pretty useless so I didn't get it. 2.0 is sweet tho. | ||

Gads. . . and I made the leap to an iPhone today . . . I may be struck down!  | ||

Court welcome to the Apple world you will find that for Fun, video, Music and pure hardware compatibility there is very few things better than Apple. | ||

Yup. Posting from my Droid..............  | ||

 posted from my iPhone 3G S. Hell, almost every login herefor the last year.5 has been from one of the 3 iPhones I've had (2G, 3G, 3G S). I haven't seen anything that is truly "better" at all or majority of uses I have for it. Sure, others have some features that are better, but how many have over 100,000 apps available? How many can I post items on eBay with pictures from my phone with? Or play Worm Armaggeden? Or tune my guitar? | ||

BTW, that picture was from Halloween. I am normally a Red Head, but I went to work as Vicente Fernandez. | ||

Windows mobile/PocketPC has been around for years, its been around since the days it was competing with Palm OS.
Name one smart phone that can't. Here is Worms World Party for my phone, notice the 2003 release date. http://www.mobygames.com/game/windowsmobile/worms- world-party
I can't name a windows ap for that off the top of my head, but if its available for iphone, then its been around for 10 years on other devices. I am in a good mood, I think I will change the OS on my phone again, I was playing around with a cooked rom on my friend's phone the other day. No, I don't need to get it from some ridiculous store which turns down software which competes with the OS's software. | ||
| Phelan |
True, but how many people wanna take the time to change the OS? I understand you don't have to, but I'm just sayin. To each his own I guess. I didn't like the idea of getting the phone that everyone else has, but after playing on one, I was hooked. It's not just about doing just about anything I want on it. It's also about being able to do what I want in a matter of seconds. It takes me no more than 3 seconds to get to any particular feature that I want. On a side note, I saw an app earlier today that allows you to place small objects and weigh them. I doubt another phone has that. | ||

I like screwing around with it. I left it with the stock setup for a few weeks after I got it, but once I figured out how to tinker with it, I ended up changing something major on it every few days. My reception is 50% stronger, battery life is up also by about 50%, I added more functionality to the blue tooth, and made the touch screen more touch friendly. Its like a bike, many people leave theirs stock, then you get some crazy people who put a turbo on. Needles to say, it is fun The weight app you are talking about just uses the accelerometers to determine the weight based on math of various things being dropped on it. If it doesn't exist for my phone, it could easily be written as mine also has accelerometers. That reminds me, I need to hack and disable the auto screen rotate on this again, it drives me nuts. | ||

True nuff. I enjoy hearing about other's mods on anything. I like to mod almost everything I have; just never felt like modding my phone's software. Good on ya to whoever does though. I suppose the iphone's not for everybody. I would venture to say that it's for people who would rather enjoy the features than create them, like myself. I do enjoy modding my Bike, however, possibly more than actually riding it. At least that's how it seems, since I've kept it down for mods half the time I've owned it. | ||
| Badlionsfan |
I'm not bill gates, and have no desire to sit around trying to make my phone work. That's why I like the iPhone. It's easy to use, easy to add apps and all the os updates are free and basically install themselves. The thing just works, and it's idiot proof, a major selling point when you're selling to me. | ||
| Froggy |
My phone worked too out of the box, I just wanted it to work differently. Same as with the bikes, they too all worked the day I bought them, but half the fun is screwing around. Only difference with the iPhone, nanny Steve Jobs has to approve every app, and if he doesn't like something, like say Google Voice, you can't get it. You can jailbreak it, and get unofficial apps, but then you are in my turf with experimenting and making it work the way you want. | ||

I have yet to get my hands on a phone that beats my iPhone! Might be out there, but I've never seen one. Most of my posts are from my phone, normally when I'm waiting on something, screwing around at the day job or being dragged around by the wifey :-) | ||

> I have yet to get my hands on a phone that beats my iPhone! Thank goodness for the Android platform. Give it another 6 months or year to mature and with the right marketing Apple will either have to change or continue to have market share taken. Ultimately iphone users should be happy that there is a phone platform that may eventually force Apple to make changes that benefit someone other than themselves. Sure there may be 100,000 iphone apps, but how many have "iron fist" Apple rejected? Why doesn't the hardware have a removable battery like every phone I've ever owned? Why can't I add memory like most phones? Why do they reject apps for nonsense reasons? Because all of these things benefit Apple in some way, that's why. Wasn't it only a month or so ago the thing got the ability to send pictures via mms? Again, every phone I've owned for many, many years has done this. I honestly don't understand why "Micro$oft" is evil for being closed and proprietary but somehow Apple is good when they reduce your choices and lock you down. Obviously, they must be doing some things right or it wouldn't be selling. But allot of it is smoke and mirrors marketing, like someone else said many things that "amazing, new" iphone apps do have been possible on other hardware for quite some time.

Thanks for the update on that app. | ||

It's true that a lot of the stuff on the iPhone has been around for a while on other platforms. But until the iPhone came out, I can't think of another phone that made it as easy to access/use those apps as it is on the iPhone. I welcome competing products. I'm glad they are coming out. As with any other market, competing businesses make better products for consumers. But, and don't tell Apple this (lol), I'll probably still get the next version of the iPhone, just because it's so much easier to use. An as far as adding memory? I have 32GB and use maybe 8. How much do you really need? My last computer didn't run as fast or have as big of a hard drive a my iPhone. But I can't until the next, 5MPXL, 128GB, 4G-S iPhone comes out to buy it too lol. | ||
| Sphere79 |
The point about batteries and memory is that Apple will sell more replacement units because they are fixed. Battery dead? Well maybe I'll just get the latest, greatest model instead. 32GB is great, but what about older 8GB models? If you at least "could" upgrade, it might keep some from getting a new device. Hence, you can't. Removable memory is also great for easily getting stuff on and off the phone - another area where Apple wants you to use their tools and programs. No special cable, no special software. Just a small microSD USB reader on my keychain and I can swap and move anything to my hearts content on Windows, Linux and Mac systems. Bottom line, my crappy cheapish LG phone does these things (I use a Nokia n810 tethered for non-phone things) and an iphone doesn't. So an iphone isn't really an upgrade to me in those ways. Plus, I'm forced to pay for "data" plans with most "smartphones" and carriers - I don't with the LG and can still access the internet. Just wait for the "iphone HD" and that 32GB's will be useless.... (Message edited by Sphere79 on November 24, 2009) | ||

I have had both, an iPhone, and now the Droid. They are both very good at many things. An iDroid would kick ass. | ||
| Badlionsfan |
Yup, competition is good. I hope the droid pushes apple to make an even better product. Like or or hate apple and the iPhone, you have to give it it's due. If there were no iPhone, you wouldn't have the droid, bb storm and all the other iPhone competitors out there. | ||

Another iPhone worm in the wild. http://news.cnet.com/8301-13506_3-10403425-17.html ?tag=mncol;posts | ||

Only for jailbroken iPhones, whose users enabled SSH, and left the password default. I'd it's about as serious as a Daddy long legs. | ||
| Seanp |
I don't know why, if you don't have an iPhone, you would even have clicked into this thread...  | ||
| Froggy |
The same reason I click on threads in the Old School section. I do it just to stay on top of things, and to set people straight from time to time | ||
| Seanp |
All I know is if someone who only rode Japanese sport bikes and never owned a Buell popped into BadWeb and started talking about how their bikes were so much better, we'd jump all over them. So really, unless you've got an iPhone and used an iPhone for more than a test drive, then you're just offering the same point of view that the Japanese sport bike rider would offer when visiting BadWeb...  | ||

Sean, I couldn't have said it better myself . |
