  • Cheers fella, that would be useful, even if just for initial visuals.
    my email is tom@thedesignconspiracy.com

    Yeah, i was thinking it would be much like doing a micro site, design time wise, so gonna quote on it from that perspective.

  • email coming your way

  • I don't think it's anything like designing a website. I've sat through the Stanford course, which was podcasted, and it isn't easy to get started. I say that as a BSc/MSc (admittedly lapsed) in computer science.

    Keeping the iPhone OS look and feel is your main choice, as the GUI is set out in the development framework. Getting outside of that is going to require OpenGL work, which is more akin to games development than website design.

  • Yeah dev is one thing but the design process I think is quite similar to a website, but more wireframing

  • Here's an app for you. Hippy made it.

  • Ha, Quality. I love how Rick Astley is now a virus.

    Slightly off topic, but does anyone else have problems PM'ing on their iPhone? Mine just don't go through. Pain in the arse.

  • Here's an app for you. Hippy made it.

    Never gonna give you up,
    Never gonna let you down,
    Never gonna own an iClone
    They're for fucking clowns.

  • I bought this software after seeing a very good review of it on Register Hardware.

    My early experiences of it were not great however- this is the email I ended up sending to their technical support:

    Hi,
    I've had a few issues with your software, could you help please?
    To give you an example of a trip I took on Sunday after wiping and reloading my iPhone from iTunes and reinstalling Co-Pilot.

    1. Start off- Co-Pilot crashes three times.
    2. Co-Pilot finally loads, acquires GPS fix and starts navigating
    3. Merging onto the M25 Co-Pilot loses the GPS fix and stops navigating
    4. GPS fix reacquired, navigation starts again
    5. GPS lost and re-found approx every 2 to 5 minutes- the time to re-find the GPS varies from a handful of seconds to 10 or so minutes.
    6. Co-Pilot crashes again
    7. Arrive at destination after pulling over and looking at map
      So- at the moment it is worse than useless as a SatNav and I am very disappointed- it is impossible to trust Co-Pilot as it crashes and loses the GPS fix so often.
      (I have an iPhone 3G)
      Kind regards,
      Me

      Sadly they ignored my email until today, when I finally got through to a tech support person.
      They apologised for ignoring my email, and then went on to say that they had had "lots of the same complaint from iPhone users".
      Apparently the GPS chip in the iPhone is just not good enough, causing some but not all of the faults I found.
      ALK Technologies (who wrote CoPilot) asked me to do the following:
      ------------------------------------------------
      Thank you for contacting CoPilot Technical Support.
      The GPS receiver inside the iPhone isn't as good as many of the newer GPS Receivers on the market and does need to have a very good clear view of the sky and not be obstructed at all by UV coated windscreens.
      If you do not have a 3G connection or have disabled your 3G / Data Roaming then you will need to stand outside for approx 30 mins with a clear view of a sky (not in a car) to get your first GPS fix. After this it will be quicker to get a GPS Fix.
      Please note if you have put your phone into AIRPLANE mode then this will turn off the GPS Receiver.
      Another way to jump start it would be to check to see if you have a GPS fix in Google Maps. Launch Google Maps and see if it snaps to your current location. You should see a dot showing exactly where you are with a pulsating circle. If the circle isn't pulsating or the location is elsewhere it's because your GPS Receiver in the iPhone doesn't have a fix.
      If you have any further questions, or feel that this incident has not been resolved to your satisfaction, please do not hesitate to bring this to our attention.
      Regards,
      Fred

      Now I can do all of that bar replacing my windscreen, but the question I have is this- to me it seems as though the iPhone cannot actually support the software due to a rubbish GPS chip, therefore should ALK be selling this product at all?
  • Ner to you too sir.

  • Anyone playing Eliminate Pro?

    Fucking awesome for a free game and you can play private games if you have friends online! :)

    I'm duncanwright if anyone wants a game.

  • it is a very good game indeed

    10 kills to 0 twice in a row

  • Hello, I've got one of these... it's not Richey's before you ask, and it's stuck on 02. I want to unlock it so I can shift the SIM to another network.

    Now, I'm not a massive apple person, but this place:

    http://forums.macrumors.com/showthread.php?t=816998&page=3

    seems to suggest that it's not an easy thing to do. Went to a Brixton phone shop today who called 02 and said no.

    This page offers some oldish information about using INdependence to unlock it, but I can't see whether this works on 1st generation only.

    It did link up to iTunes before, but asked to run a software update. This has now led iTunes to show a page saying that "the sim card inserted in this iphone doesn't appear to be supported". And then phone is back on to its emergency numbers only page.

    Any ideas? Take it back to 02 and blather?

  • Jailbreak it would be the answer- we have a geek at my place of work who I am sure would do it for a beer or two?

  • Kewl. I did look at Jailbreak, but frankly it was all 01010100111 to me, and my eyes glazed over. I'll give you a call.

    Gwyn is greatly appreciating... although that might mean that if I'm not careful, I might reveal the existence of the darkside, and will therefore have to kill and eat her.

  • Yep, use Ziphone. Download it, and just click go, fairly simple..

  • Hit it with a hammer.

    i have on you can borrow that will be more than suitable.
