Folders

Multitasking

Checkout below the Engadget Team hands-on & impressions:

* It’s pretty stable, especially compared to other developer editions of the iPhone OS we’ve messed around with. We haven’t had any crashes so far, and things seem mostly to be working. Find My iPhone doesn’t work, and iTunes 9.1 doesn’t know about folders and will delete any you’ve set up, but nothing major is broken, at least as far as we can tell.
* The multitasking system works as described, but without any apps that support it it’s hard to test — we’ll see if we can cajole a copy of Pandora or TomTom to play with. Steve might say task managers are a sign of failure, but you can certainly delete icons from the switcher — just long press on them and a minus arrow pops up.
* Bluetooth keyboards are going to be the next great iPhone accessory gold rush. Been jonesing for a million-dollar idea? Here you go: slider keyboard case with built-in extended battery. We prefer our royalties in cash, please.
* We couldn’t get threaded messages to work in Mail, but we’re sure we’re doing something wrong — we’ve never really gotten along with iPhone Mail.
* The zoom control on the camera is pretty slick, and there’s okayish macro. Tap-to-focus in the video mode is also a nice addition.
* Spell check works just like the iPad, as do cut/copy/paste hardware keyboard shortcuts. Still no way to bring up the soft keyboard from the device when it’s paired, though, which is annoying if you walk away — you have to remember to turn off Bluetooth, which will undoubtedly confuse someone.
* Faces and Events in Photos are just like the iPad — they’re just fancy folders. The actual face-detection happens on your machine, and things are just sorted on the phone.
* Setting up a Gmail account also prompts you to sync calendars and notes — hallelujah!
* Game Center is a barren wasteland right now, since no apps support it — we managed to log in and discover that we have no friends and no one has requested to be our friend. Suitably humbled, we logged out.
* We didn’t have any major problems running our OS 3.0 apps, and we didn’t see any new ads or anything.
* And that it, really — without third party app support a lot of these features won’t come into play just yet. Without them, it’s just a nice iteration of the iPhone OS — what else do you want to know?

A well-known hacker claims to have overcome restrictions on Apple’s iPhone, allowing highly technical users to bypass AT&T’s network to use the phone’s Internet and music features.

In a post dated July 3 on his blog, Jon Johansen, 23, a prolific hacker of consumer electronics gadgets since he was a teenager in Norway, said “I’ve found a way to activate a brand new unactivated iPhone” without signing up for AT&T service.

“The iPhone does not have phone capability, but the iPod and Wi-Fi work. Stay tuned!” he wrote on his long-running blog, which is combatively named “So Sue Me.” The post was entitled “iPhone Independence Day,” a play on the July 4 U.S. holiday.

The site contained technical details for other hackers, as well as links to software necessary to complete the process.

“I need it because, I need it …!”

The Apple iPhone is a multimedia/Internet-enabled phone announced by Apple CEO Steve Jobs during the keynote address at the Macworld Conference & Expo on January 9, 2007. The iPhone has a scheduled US release date of June 2007, (later outside the US) and will be available from the Apple Store and from Cingular Wireless. iPhone has a planned launch price of US$499 for the 4 GB model and $599 for the 8 GB model, based on a two-year service contract.
The iPhone’s functions include those of a camera phone, a multimedia player, mobile telephone, and Internet services like e-mail, text messaging, web browsing and wireless connectivity. iPhone input is accomplished via touchscreen with virtual keyboard and buttons. The iPhone is a quad-band GSM phone, though Jobs mentioned in his keynote that Apple has a “plan to make 3G phones” in the future. Apple has filed over 200 patents related to the technology behind the iPhone.

• Touch screen
  The 3.5-inch (8.9cm) display (320×480 px at 160 ppi) touch screen is specifically created for use with a finger, or multiple fingers for multi-touch sensing. No stylus is needed, nor can one be used, as the touch screen requires bare skin to operate.

• Phone
  The iPhone allows conferencing, call holding, call merging, caller ID, and integration with other cellular network features and iPhone functions. For example, a playing song fades out when the user receives a call. Once the call is ended the music fades back seamlessly.

• iPod
  The layout of the music library differs from previous iPods, with the sections divided more clearly alphabetically, and with a larger font. The Cover Flow, like that on iTunes, shows the different album covers in a scroll-through photo library. Scrolling is achieved by swiping a finger across the screen.

• Internet
  The iPhone has built-in WiFi, with which it will be able to access the Internet (through a wireless network) via the Safari browser. The iPhone will also be able to connect to the Internet through Cingular’s EDGE network. An agreement between Apple and Google provides for access to a specially modified version of Google Maps, see the video below.

• Email
  The iPhone also features an HTML e-mail program, which enables the user to embed photos in an e-mail message.
