The iPhone Collective

I don't think Apple (really AT&T) permits tethering apps in the states.

I don't think it's allowed here in the UK either really, but it seems our data plans over here (as with most things phone related) give us a much better deal than you guys.

Anywho, am on my laptop using my iPhone as my internet connection through 3g right now, and it IS pretty cool :thumbsup2

I downloaded fStream and followed Pete's instructions for listening to DIS Radio. Now I have it on my iPod Touch!!

Trying to convince my DW to get iPhones.....;)
 
Just about to upgrade to 2.21 finally, hope it all works out ok :)

Question #2 (get ready for loads, people! lol)...

How do I use the headphones for calls? I tried yesterday and had a lot of trouble. When I already have them plugged in and dial does it automatically start working through the phones and mic? I know it works right away if you are using the iPod and then a call comes in, but what about this scenario?
 

Yep, plug the headphones in, make a call and you will hear it thru them. Pinch the button on the headphones to hang up.
Upgraded to 2.21, a fair bit of messing round with it but it's all sorted now :)

When you talk about pinching the button are you talking about the Apple in ear headphones rather than the standard issue ?
 
Question #3...

Do I need to sync up my iPhone to iTunes to download apps?

Question #4...

Do I have to put everything from my iTunes library on my iPhone?
 
Question #4...

Do I have to put everything from my iTunes library on my iPhone?

No. Create a playlist for the music you want to load on the iphone and then, when you plug in your phone, you can tell it to sync only those playlists to the iphone.

For podcasts, it is similar. You just designate the podcasts you want to sync with your iPhone when your phone is plugged in.
 
Question #3...

Do I need to sync up my iPhone to iTunes to download apps?

Nope, the app store lets you download them directly. When you sync the apps are then backed up to your computer.
 
Question #5...I am in the Apps store now and am all set up with my computer. Do you all have the free Facebook app or just use it from Safari?
 
Shazam is by far the best program I have used.
Facebook is ok
Notes
Flighttrack
Aim
Flixster -excellent when you are away from home and have no clue where anything is
 
I have the Facebook app. It's great. Much easier than going through the browser.
 
Yeah I use the app for facebook too.
In fact, I rarely use facebook on the pcanymore as I'm so used to the app :)
Grab a load of free apps and have a play. That's what I did with my iPhone and before it's jailbreak days :)

Flight Control is another really simple yet really cool game. It's £0.59, and I think $0.99. The only free app I have is the Facebook one.

The one gripe I have with the app store is that there's so much stuff on it now browsing has become a real pain :sad1:.
 
Question #5...I am in the Apps store now and am all set up with my computer. Do you all have the free Facebook app or just use it from Safari?

I use the Facebook app - its easier than using Safari.
 
Does anyone else have ColorSplash? It's an app that lakes you drain the colour from your photos then just 're-add' it again to any part of it you want. Very cool
