I would just like to thank all of you who mentioned Peggle, you have ruined my life! (or all my free time that is). That is one insanely addicting game!

Just got my iPhone!!! Off to load it!! .

 

[MandyTG]

My hubby bought me an iPhone last Monday! It was a surprise. He has had one since March and I kept stealing it to play on!

I am looking for good apps for grocery shopping and a to do list. Free or a couple of bucks.

Any opinions?

Slightly OT.

I must admit I haven't read through this entire thread so I apologize if this question has been asked and answered.

Long story short: 2 week trip to WDW coming up in Nov. and the goal is to pack light (ya right). The portable dvd player is staying home! My DD is not pleased with this decision, she'll get over it.
I was looking into purchasing the Apple Composite AV cable so we can still watch movies on the resort tvs through our iTouch (it apparently charges them while watching too). Does anyone have any experience with the av cable, do the movies get distorted? Any info. would be appreciated!
TIA

I have it and it's fantastic. No distortion (at least on mine), and I use it to plug into an LCD projector at work to show things to my kids on a big screen. I say go for it! It does come with a wall charger plug or you can use it to charge through your computer as well (it has an iPod end and the red/white/yellow RCA cables as well as the USB cord at the other end). What's nice about this is that you don't need to bring a separate charger, you can just bring that cable and the charger plug (or leave the plug at home if you have a laptop with you!).

I have one as well and haven't seen any distortion when watching videos.

How did you get this?

Did you use jailbreak to do this? I've only ever seen different skins when using jailbreak on your phone. Friends of mine have done this for the MMS too, which is operable. I'm always the last one to do these things...too worried my phone will be the one to go haywire.

 

[luke]

Yeah it needs jailbreaking to customize it. I know it's not for everyone but it's pretty safe to do

 

[*NikkiBell*]

I just wanted to say that I have looked into jailbreaking and I wouldn't risk it. If you damage your phone, AT & T is not going to replace it. I don't recommend it to anyone.

 

[luke]

Ah what's life without a little risk
For me, the pros far outweigh the cons, and should something go wrong then it's easy to restore it back to the original settings leaving you carrier none the wiser.
Like I say tho, it's not for everyone

I use "ShoppingList" and "To Do's" both free and they get the job done.

If you travel it is very tempting. Think of having your iPhone with no data access. That's what it is like outside your home country. I think Pete should think about jailbreaking his 3G and then getting a pay-as-you-go sim card when he is in Australia.

they will never know its jailbroke. just set it back to factory setting.

That's unlocking, rather than jailbreaking. However you need to jailbreak before you unlock so they're on the same lines
And ok, i've skirted round it, but I'll admit it, getting free apps is a big part of the appeal

Please. That's a CYA statement by Apple and AT & T.

It is IMPOSSIBLE to damage your phone with a jailbreak, as it simply does a custom restore of the phone software. If you screw up, then you just reload the original software on the phone. NOTHING in a jailbreak changes the firmware... it is 100% safe... anyone saying otherwise is just plain wrong.

Unfortunately, the one negative of upgrading to the 3Gs is that they have not released the jailbreak yet for it. Of course they HAVE one, but are waiting for the 3.0.1 release that is inevitable.

so when do you think the 3.0.1 will come out???

 

[yitbos96bb]

No idea, but I'm guessing in the next couple of weeks. It will be avery minor update to fix 3.0 launch screwups. Unfortunately, the people who come up with the jailbreak software are waiting... also the fact the 3Gs is not available in india is another reason they are holding it up. The hackers are in India. IMHO, They are being selfish jerks... but what can you do?
