Iphone 3gs
10 Useful iPhone Tips and Tricks
The second I got my new iPhone I started playing around with it — even before I read the entire instruction manual (oops). With the latest software release on the iPhone 3GS, Apple introduced a lot of simple fixes that help solve everyday annoyances and hangups with the phone. Here are 10 of my favorite simple tips for the iPhone.
Best of 2009 Winner: Favorite Cell Phone
Surprise, surprise (but not really!) — your favorite new cell phone of 2009 is the iPhone 3GS, which took 46 percent of the vote. The 3GS follows in its predecessor's footsteps; last year's favorite cell phone was the iPhone 3G.
I'm obviously in agreement on this one, given my undying, often professed love for my iPhone.
What Is Your Favorite New Cell Phone of 2009?
Earlier this week, we got the ball rolling on our fun best of polls when I asked you: What is your favorite social networking site of 2009? Well now I'm turning the attention to another popular topic of '09 — cell phones! Last year seemed to be all about the iPhone 3G, but this year, we not only got our hands on a new iPhone 3GS, but some pretty fancy BlackBerrys, Android handsets, and impressive smartphones from Palm.
Get a Refurbished 16GB iPhone 3GS For $49
Talk about a great deal to kick off your Cyber Monday shopping! AT&T is now selling refurbished 16GB iPhone 3GS for only $49. Even better, AT&T will waive the usual $35 activation fee, and each device comes with the same warranty as the new iPhones.
Your iPhone and iPod Touch Just Got a Little Classier
Although you only get two options when choosing an iPhone (even less if you're picking up an iPod Touch), you can always express your individuality with a case. I've got plenty of options for you, but if you're looking for something with a little more sizzle, a little more class if you will, check out these slim-fitting Blink Cases ($20-$25).
These sleek and shiny cases hug the curves of your iPhone or iPod Touch without adding bulk and weight to your pocket.
Vintage Video Maker App Does Exactly What It Implies
All things old are new again as vintage gadgets and tech come back with a bang. Since you can already turn your iPhone photos into cool vintage-looking pics in more than a few ways, it's only natural that there would eventually be an iPhone 3GS app that turns your on-the-go videos into retro styled mini movies.
Called the Vintage Video Maker, this $3 app is worth its weight in fun — just capture your video within the app, or load one up that you've already shot, and choose between three old-timey styles: 20's movie, black and white, and 60's home video.
Use Pano to Take Great Panoramic Shots With Your iPhone
With the plethora of iPhone apps I've showed you, some of my favorites are the ones that involve the (new and improved) camera. Although I've already shown you PanoLab, which allows you to insert photos from your library into a panoramic shot, but this app helps you take seamless panoramic pics on the go.
Simply called Pano, the app guides you in taking up to 16 photos for your panoramic pic, giving you guidelines and tips on how to line up your shots, then works magic with it's blending and color-matching algorithms to make your photos picture perfect — like you used a DSLR instead of your three-megapixel camera.
Get Your Gadgets in Gear For Back to School
I can't believe I'm already talking about heading back to school. It feels like just yesterday I was waxing poetic about beach gadgets, and here I am talking about which ones to toss in your new Fall bag. Your very stylish bag I'd expect, much like the Hayden-Hartnett Ibiza ($200) number that I just can't get enough of.
Desperate Housewives on Set With Their Cell Phones
