Re: iPhone 4/iOS4 Info (Read this before starting more threads) This is why I decided to go the o2recycle route, I looked at many of the "recyclers" who offer more, but they all seem to have much harsher sliding scales, i.e 5%, 10%, 20%, 40% depending on what they think the condition of the...

Re: iPhone 4/iOS4 Info (Read this before starting more threads) I just wrote the address on a jiffy bag, sent special delivery because I didn't fancy it going missing in the post. They received the phone this morning and the "recycle" is complete, says the funds will be in the bank within 5...

Re: iPhone 4/iOS4 Info (Read this before starting more threads) Yep, it's a bit silly because unless you click through to the FAQ it doesn't actually mention this! Everywhere else it just says the phone, charger is not required. The FAQ tells you that you need to include the charger for...

Re: iPhone 4/iOS4 Info (Read this before starting more threads) I just did this, got £181 which I'm happy with, didn't have to deal with dodgy e-bayers or such like, post it and receive the money, no hassles. From what I've read they seems to always take 5% off for wear and tear, mine had...

The current iPhone OS already does multitask and makes full use of it even when you're running "game x", there are many OS tasks that have to run concurrently and in the background and some of apples tasks quite happily run in the background (SMS, iPod etc), it's just that in the current OS...

Use macfuse rather than changing the fstab.

NTFS can be r/w in os x, easiest way is to just use macfuse.

It will be. Multitasking is a bit of a misnomer, it's not really multitasking as you'd recognise it. iPhone applications that want to "multitask" have a limited set of services which they can provide interfaces to (voip, timers etc). iOS will call these specific portions of the...

Seriously dude, I've been doing embedded software development on ARM processors before ARM as a company existed and when the ARM processor had a 26 bit address bus and was fabbed by a company called VLSI. I even have the original ARM archictecture chipset guide (The ARM2 required other chips to...

Re: iPhone 4/iOS4 Info (Read this before starting more threads) fwiw, o2 recycle will give you £190 for a 16G 3G (using the more4u code) without the hassle of having to deal with buyers.

I bet you end up buying a better one fairly quickly! Lol it's not until you use a 3gs that you realise just how much quicker it is than the 3g, even the lock screen is smoother! Welcome to the fold though.

Hold cmd+s on boot and when single user mode appears type: fsck -y Once it's completed a whole cycle without errors, type reboot. Hopefully it'll restart properly then.

Both combined. It's all data transfer.

I wouldn't. I've heard nothing but horror stories about it. Many of them are scams (stolen credit cards) and you won't find out until you go to use the apple care and they inform you that the policy is void because it was purchased with a stolen card.

Doesn't look like it, there are 2 additional bolt ons that increase your data allowance by 500MB and 1GB for 5 and 10 quid respectively.

Yes. With regards to the USB stick, no idea if bootcamp will work like that. You can create bootable os x images on a USB stick, but I'm not sure how bootcamp would handle it. I'd ask google on that one.

Re: iPhone 4/iOS4 Info (Read this before starting more threads) The best option is to buy the PAYG version, hopefully Apple will sell a sim unlocked one straight from the get go as all the major networks are on board with the iPhone 4 (o2, orange, voda, t-mobile and 3). If they don't sell a...

Re: iPhone 4/iOS4 Info (Read this before starting more threads) If you want to keep your existing contract then you'll have to buy and pay and go phone. The moment you upgrade you enter a new contract with new terms and conditions.

No it doesn't, it means the processor core is the same or very similar which is to be expected because it's the cortex core. The gate layout of the core itself does however appeas to be the same or very similar between the processors. That's where the similarities end, the rest of the A4...

If you're happy with the 3g then it's all good, but in my opinion it's a bit of a mistake to get one now. It's effectively a dead platform now, it doesn't support the most important parts of ios4 and more crucially, there will be no more major firmware updates for it.

Bootcamp because you have the option of booting it in a virtual machine, you can't do the opposite if you create a pure virtual machine. The bit about coherance was just to clarify that when you're in coherance mode the whole os is still loaded, the vm just hides it. It's slower too. To recap...

If you install windows in bootcamp then you have the choice of either booting it native in bootcamp or using VMware to boot the bootcamp partition. Installing via bootcamp is the best method as it offers both the "full speed" (bootcamp) and convenince (virtual machine) options. Oh (and...

Re: iPhone 4/iOS4 Info (Read this before starting more threads) We're on holiday from the 21st, so we're going to the Apple store when we get back to pick one up. I wasn't convinced by the white front, but the more I look at it, the more I like it.

Re: iPhone 4/iOS4 Info (Read this before starting more threads) Of course, due to the earth rotation we'll get ours before them! ;)

Re: iPhone 4/iOS4 Info (Read this before starting more threads) Same as the US.

Apple is making the video calling an open standard, anybody else is free to implement it. Video calls are crap over the phone network because of it's inherent limitations, apple have just avoided a substandard implementation by creating something up to date.

Your iTunes library database has been deleted or corrupted. iTunes makes backups of it and if you rename the latest one to the right name it'll work. No idea where it's stored on windows as I don't use it on windows, should be easy enough to find though.

Whoops, yes. Maemo incidentally can use Qt in the latest builds of the firmware.

Nokias effort now is in Maemo, the SDK is Qt and is awesome, I don't develop any desktop software at work that isn't written in Qt, it's just about as perfect a set of libraries as you could imagine. Of course, QtCreator which is the IDE is good and is getting better with every release. And...
