Heheh, I'm not kidding when I say my iPhone is probably the best gadget I've purchased since my Squeezebox - it really is *THAT* cool. I'm no Apple fanboy either - I'm on a PC in fact and the only other Apple product I own is a 60 Gig iPod Photo that I use in my car (and with an Altec Lansing iM7 boombox in the yard). I find myself surfing the web more comfortably than any other handheld device I've tried. I did buy the Nokia 880 when it first came out, but promptly returned it as I found the restriction of just WiFi an issue. That said, although Edge is *DIRT* slow (some pages take up to 100 seconds to load fully), I do enjoy the WiFi intelligence behind the iPhone. The auto-switching and smart search (while reserving power) is just brilliant and works seemlessly. Amyway, your 770 skin works nicely on the iPhone, but it's not without a few caveats. First of all, and I'm not sure if you remember my review of your 770 skin on the PSP, but I seem to experience those line breaks while scrolling down again. I don't have a camera handy to take a shot of my iPhone yet, but look at my old PSP review shot to see what I mean. Also, since it was originally formatted for the Nokia 770 (and filled the screen nicely on said device, as well as the 880), it displays on the iPhone nicely but obviously appears slightly smaller since the iPhone's screen is smaller. Although you can zoom in with finger gestures, it's one more thing you have to do compared to the 770/880. That said, the convenience and ass-kicking coolness of the iPhone's touchscreen is light years ahead of the 770/880. Plus it's an iPod Video (nano), cell phone, personal data assistant, and portable *ANYWHERE* web device - always in my pocket and ready to go. ;-) The last caveat is that there is no way to place a shortcut for Slimserver on, say, the iPhone's main screen to launch Safari right into it. You have to hit the Safari icon, then hit your favorites, type in the first couple of letters of whatever you named your Slimserver favorite, it pops into the address bar, and then select it to go there. Whew! Ahhh well, no biggie - it's still kick ass. ;-) +-------------------------------------------------------------------+ |Filename: floating bar.JPG | |Download: http://forums.slimdevices.com/attachment.php?attachmentid=3024| +-------------------------------------------------------------------+ -- EnochLight ------------------------------------------------------------------------ EnochLight's Profile: http://forums.slimdevices.com/member.php?userid=3392 View this thread: http://forums.slimdevices.com/showthread.php?t=36438 _______________________________________________ discuss mailing list [email protected] http://lists.slimdevices.com/lists/listinfo/discuss
