Enjoy! Battery Life Sucks on Your New iPhone 3G?
If you were one of the lucky ones to get a iPhone 3G over the weekend, then you must check out these tips from Apple on how to improve your battery life on your iPhone. I myself learned first hand just a day after getting the iPhone 3G. Battery life will last just a couple of hours if you have every single services turned on including push email, locations services and more. In a nutshell, to increase battery life you must turn off services you're not using. For example, if you're not currently using your Bluetooth headset, turn off Bluetooth. And, the same can be said of WIFI, if you're using 3G instead (I know why would you use 3G over WIFI you ask. Maybe there are no open WIFI hotspots so 3G is you're only option.) Also, turn off push email and set to check email manually or less frequently. Lastly, lower your brightness on your iPhone.

Little did everyone know that you can take screen shots on your iPhone using that latest software update, iPhone 2.0. To take a screen capture, hold down your Home button and press the Lock button and your screen will flash and an image will be placed in your Camera Roll's images. Above is a screen shot of the MySpace app on the iPhone.
Most Interesting iPhone / iPod touch Apps
The App store went live this morning. There's a lot more apps available then I originally thought. I plan to use my iPhone for business and pleasure so I quickly search for those types of apps. Based on my initial search, these are the apps I plan to install on my iPhone on day one.
iReady? or iScam?
I just called AT&T to find out how I (a new subscriber) can become iReady before July 11. Turns out besides having a pre-qualifying credit check done an AT&T rep has informed me of another method which I am a bit leery about.
According to a AT&T customer rep, I should come in today and get activated for a FREE phone then come in Friday morning and exchange the FREE phone for the iPhone 3G. This way I would not have to worry about the long activation process and the transfer of my numbers over to AT&T would be seamless since I’ve already taken care of that prior to July 11. HMM! Interesting but what happens when I try to get the iPhone on Friday and I don’t qualify for the upgrade because I just signed the contract, I asked. The rep of course stated I would be eligible for the upgrade
Then, it dawned on me after calling several other AT&T stores to verify if this method was valid. It costs X ($36 for the iphone) amount of dollars for an activation fee and $18 for a upgrade fee, if I happen to be still eligible after signing a two year contract to receive the first (FREE) phone. Is this being iReady or just a iScam? I’m sure the Rep is trying to earn top commission from the iPhone hype yet I’m concerned a lot of people who get duped into going this route will be screwed when they try to get the iPhone on Friday. Either they will have to fork over a upgrade fee after just paying an activation fee or worse pay the full retail price for the iPhone - $399 for the 8GB and $499 for the 16GB.
