I’ve gotten a new iPhone 3GS (32 GB) and of course I need to test all the features. There are a few small configuration tidbits still left for me I see. And if I continue to use it as I have so far, I have a serious battery problem. (Yes I disabled 3G networking as quick as I could, in order to save some part of my battery usage)<\/p>\n
I am testing a lot of applications at the time being and I admit that there are some applications that are excellent, some fair and some I still am testing.<\/p>\n
I have been using GPS on my mobile phones and Palm organizers for years. So that<\/strong> part of having an iPhone is not really new. I have noticed that the integration of location into several other features is a nice added value though. In addition to this I have been a satisfied owner of an iPod touch for years now, so some of the applications are fairly well known to me.<\/p>\n Social media is maybe one of the stronges feature sets available from the iTunes app store. So far the Facebook app is proving to be excellent, and I also like Twitterific and Nambu. I am still evaluating Shozu though. <\/p>\n The biggest plus in my eyes though is the massive increase in response time compared to Windows Mobile 6 and 6.1 HTC phones. Even my Nokia N80 was faster than those. Palm organizers have always been responsive and simple to use, I would have liked to test the Palm Pre, but somewhere even my gadget budget have to stop.<\/p>\n More news soon to follow.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":" I’ve gotten a new iPhone 3GS (32 GB) and of course I need to test all the features.
