I just noticed a different Operating System
appear in our site Google Stats. iPhone. Mmm…
was that you Keith?
Heh - quite possibly.
The iPhone’s browser is surprisingly good; even
when at home I’ve been as inclined to grab it as
open a laptop or go to the desktop to take a
quick look at something online. And of all the
mobiles I’ve used and owned - including some
large-screen monsters such as the T-Mobile Ameo -
there’s never been a mobile that was that good
before.
However… sad, sad news. For me, anyway. Last
weekend, while hauling rocks around the garden,
my wallet got pushed up in my pocket. Then, while
walking past my pond, it fell out. Splash. And
yep, the wallet holds my iPhone.
I tried everything I could think of, including
gaffer-taping it sideways into the spin-drier
(1200rpm, no heat) to use centripetal force the
water out of the ends. But with no way to isolate
the battery, it fried itself.
My youngest son even found a video online that
shows how to hide the little telltale that shows
Apple staff that it got wet, but I can’t bring
myself to do that. (Damn my honest upbringing!)
So David, if the stats show an iPhone browsing
within the past week it certainly wasn’t me.
I will get another soon. As I said, I’ve used and
evaluated a number of different phones, including
some that are supposed to be top-notch. The
iPhone really is a huge leap past them all. But
bang goes another £269. In the meantime, I’m
using my previous ‘best of’ mobile, and hating
every second.
But at least I can use it to demonstrate interactive VR images.
