You've got a new iPhone, so now what?
This was the question that a couple of my friends were asking after they'd just purchased their spanking new Apple mobile products. They had a good idea what they wanted, but didn't really know the best source/s of purchase and/or download. After a few sorties into the online minefield of iPhone downloads, they asked for friends' input, and a logical battle plan was drawn up.
It has a multi-touch screen with virtual keyboard and buttons. That is, it doesn't actually have any buttons, it's all done by the touch of drag of the finger on the iPhone's multi-touch screen. If you've got sausage paws, you're winning here!
When viewing photos, it's really easy to zoom in by spreading your fingers from side to side on the screen. This addition keeps my little mind happy for ages, accompanied by giggles of delight. There's also a really exciting motion sensor that recognizes whether the device is upright or side-on. Have a look at the CBS video below to see how these functions work.

This news story was released during a gadget show, just prior to the iPhone's release in 2007.
A Closer Look At The iPhone
Apple Inc's Phil Schiller shows John Blackstone the many features of the iPhone. Apple's latest product will go on sale this June.
Two of my mates had bought iPhones, and they both wanted slight operational differences; Jules's into his movies and 'bad' music (his words, not mine!), while Rye likes playing with as many random applications as possible.
We decided to find out what was out there for the 'empty' iPhoner and decided on around half a dozen of the more 'reliable' iPhone download sites and found that they weren't that dissimilar.
A brief synopsis of the results are in this lens, but all are laid out in our SnufflePig review web site.
iPhone Nova review
iPhone Nova seems to be the most patronised of all the iPhone download sites. The interface isn't particularly user-friendly for non-members, but as they claim to be the original iPhone download site maybe it's down to that that they've managed to secure such a popular position in the market.

This iPhone download site is something of an iPhone Nova clone but offers a pretty good front end to the user. After taking the plunge we found iPhone Download Pro a to be quite a smooth ride to find and fetch what we wanted from their huge choice of downloadable content.
Crikey this is a long lens. How about a spot of refreshment?
iBeer Download Magic for iPhone & iPod touch
Download and drink beer on your iPhone from App Store or http://www.hottrix.com and perform it tonight. This hilarious sight-gag is modeled after our e-spresso for Palm from 2000 and takes full advantage of iPhone's high-res screen and speakers. Cheers! Download yours today.
iPhone Downloads seems to offer exactly the same service as iPhone Nova, even down to the same 'join' page. We decided that paying $49.95 once for the service was enough and declined to subscribe again. If you fancy it, knock yourselves out - iPhone Downloads iPhone download site may offer a totally different environment.
This is a much more entertaining iPhone download site for the non-member, much more enticing, butstill nowhere to go but the 'join now' page. Once we'd jsubscribed we found that they have a massive choice of downloadable content with quick download speeds, but the guides and tutorials can be a little 'unfriendly'.

We found iPhone Unlimited to be a little inaccessible compared to the other iPhone download sites that we tested. The download process was a little awkward and the guides and tutorials not always plain sailing. The downloads were certainly fast, and although we couldn't possibly count the claimed 30 Billion files, there was certainly a massive choice!

We found Net iPhone Downloads to be both a better quality iPhone download site and have a higher level of customer support. Although our rating for this supplier is one of the lowest due to a lack of added extras that some of the others bundle in, it seems to be the consensus at SnufflePig that this is one of the better iPhone download sites.
Net Movie Downloads has a pretty useful demonstration guide on the front page that shows what users get when they join up. The one off subscription fee here is a break from the norm, weighing in at only $34.95. Get it while it's hot!
Some random iPhone pics
I sometimes look at the photos that I've taken on my mobile phone and wonder how they got there; not the mechanics, but why on Earth I took them! I've noticed my iPhone friends whip out their Apple devices out at the merest whiff of a photo opportunity, just so they can show them off. This is born out in these random iPhone photos. Have a look and see if you agree.
It seems that all the latest kids' relevant programmes and movies are available for download. The proof is in the pudding of quietude as they congregate around my laptop. Playing on this is The Incredibles, a Disney/Pixar animation that has them enthralled. It didn't take too long to download and hasn't made it to an iPhone yet, but actually being allowed to write this while kids are in the same room is an amazement in itself.
It must be a good film. It looks pretty good from what I've seen. I might go and watch it!
Keeping the dads happy
What a fantastic film. On a par with Cars. If you don't download, have a look here:
I'm a web developer specialising in ASP to Flash applications, but mostly I like to write games for fun.
I also create contemporary digital artworks that embrace the latest available software.
And I've got two young children, so I have to do a mortgagey type of thing too. This is the full-time job as a college lecturer running an Interactive Media course in Leeds, UK. It's great fun to do as I've got fantastic students, great colleagues and a course that pushes not just their boundaries.
