Everything Offends Me
Sigh. I'm in love though. The LogTen app makes it worthwhile.

edit: ERRRR...oops, now, picture with less "insider info" in it.

Nick...With an iPhone??!? Holy crap!
 
Correct me if I'm wrong, but isn't it just an iPod Touch and not an iPhone?
 
Must just be a isolated cold snap in hell then, not a freeze.:D
 
It is, indeed an iPod Touch....but I have spent the last 3 years or longer talking them down. I was finally swayed.

Who knows. iPhone may be next. :/

Wait for the 4th Gen iPhone in a month or two.

I've really come around on the Touch... I used to think it was just a decent music device and video player. But the introduction of the AppStore way back when made me warm to it a little bit, and jailbreaking it and using Cydia has really turned me around.

Still can't do the iPhone, though. I've forced myself -- really, really tried -- to get past the keyboard thing using the Touch, but it's just not for me.
 
The battery life is unbelievable on the iPod. Is the iPhone this good? 2 days later, constant playing, and only a sliver has worn down.

The battery on my 2G (1st gen) iPhone only lasts a few days without talk time. I can get an hour or two of data use. Let's hope they address that in the 3rd gen.

A removeable battery is being screamed for.

You can get various add-on piggyback battery packs for them.

I keep mine on the lighter plug in the car. It charges fairly quickly on 12v. I can get an empty to full charge in an hour of half of driving.
 
Same here, battery on my Touch lasts about 3.5-4.0 hrs if im watching videos or playing games. If it's just music however, the battery does seem to last forever.

Are you watching videos? If I do that I get about 4 to 4 hours of play time on the iTouch.

Also the same here. Listening to music? It'll last "three quarters of forever", as my Mom would say. I'm not familiar with the impact of video on battery life, since I rarely (actually, I can't think of more than a couple times I've tried to) watch video. But with wifi enabled, battery life seems to drop significantly faster than without; that could be, however, due to the fact that when I have the wifi radio on, I'm also typically doing things that are also likely more power-intensive (RDP, SSH, browsing, etc.)

Seriously, my advice to people considering it is to jailbreak it and then think of it as an excellent music device, a decent-to-good video device, and a very small, headless BSD host that actually has great wireless support. From that perspective, it really doesn't disappoint.
 
Bluetooth eats my iPhone battery. Other than that, I thought 2-3 days on a charge was good. Certainly matches or betters any other phone I've had. EDGE network also eats battery time vs wireless internet. STill and all, luv the iPhone.
 
I have no idea how long my iPhone would last. I use it as my alarm clock and plug it in when I'm sleeping. I've never had a battery issue and plugging it in while sleeping is easy....
 
My 3G iphone gets recharged every night, and by the end of the day, it typically needs it. On very rare occasions, it has failed to make it through the day. Of course, it all depends on how much you use it, and what you're doing.

On occasions where I've tried to use it like an automotive gps, between the gps and the 3G network traffic, it burns through the battery fairly quickly, and the whole thing feels warm to the touch.

Car lighter power cord, Harry.

As a note I have a Monster cable iPod connector power cord (Quiet. It was part fo a $15 kit on closeout at Radio Shack.) When you connect it tot he iPhoen the phone displays a message that this is not an iPhone-compatible device - do you want to go to airplane mode? You touch no and it works fine. My guess is they have a list of official iPhone-OK (and paid for) model numbers, and the system code figures that iPod devices will work in iPod mode.

I have a Monster power cord with the interchangeable tips. It charges my phone just fine. I've never had my iPhone display that message when I plugged it into the Monster cord or the cheap (3.99) cord I bought at a truck stop when I was traveling with someone else and forgot my charger.

This pretty much sums up my experience.
 
I go to 6Y9 for the weekend, and I come back and see this?

Nick, Nick, Nick.....
