Where is the NYCAviation App?

I did not put that in here as I had started a different thread with that one app in
the past. This is by far my greatest app but can not figure out why the ratings
in the I tunes store are soo low. I wish it was a little more responsive tho... oh well,
can't have everything!

Called from HIS CELL PHONE NUMBER and said
"If Chris calls he left his cell phone in the Strip bar...I am pulling up to the house and will call
you back in one minute... Have another call and do not know how to flash his phone!"

Hung up and then spoofed our parents phone number in Arizona....HE IS SUPPOSE TO BE IN CT!!!!!!!!

I tried to keep the thread Game Free but with games like Flight Control, AC-130, Star Wars Trench Wars, iSniper 3D, Sim City, Need For Speed Shift, Call of Duty ZOMBIES, Sonic the Hedgehog, Tank Tigers,MX Mayhem, Air Hockey, Lots of Card games and MANY others, this little LCD Panel has some SERIOUS GAMEPLAY!!!!

This thread could get REALLY BIG if I got into some of the games. Lets just say that
Hospital Waiting Rooms are not what they used to be anymore...it is now more like a
family event!!!! :borat:

[Derf]

so this morning I was checking my Earthquake tracker as I do every few weeks.

http://www.longislandwallpapers.com/PRIVATE/I-Phone/-/790598802_HXiaD-O.jpg

I usually see one or two earthquakes in upstate NY or NJ in any given month, but today I saw this!
http://www.longislandwallpapers.com/PRIVATE/I-Phone/-/790598813_4qejy-M.jpg

They all seem to be located at the same place

I thought it would be good to have in case I wanted to plan a runway shot with the sun setting
at the end of the location. It would help me to determine what date that would be possible.

then there is this free app

TODO is a new app that I have been using, not flashy but boy is it great! Keeps me on
check with all the things I would normally forget! It has made sure that I am always
busy getting the things done that need to be done. If I slack my list gets long. I used
to just forget 80% of my tasks and that was great because I had lots of free time. Now
I know that my sh!t keeps piling up. UGH!
tZSLE7IPkNg&feature=player_embedded#


On a side note...3 days ago my wife got a Droid and I have been busy as hell setting that up.
I think I am about done with all the contacts, apps, ringtones, music, movies...etc.
Being I have a 3G Iphone and not the 3GS, my phone seems really slow compared. I can not
wait to get a newer faster Iphone and the 8 gig is really limited. I have to use my pc at home
for all my music and 90+ movies I keep on my phone. The nice part is that I put the same app
(ORB) on my wifes phone and everything is now on hers. Now she can watch "A League of
their own" anywhere. And please remember, THERE IS NO CRYING IN BASEBALL!

My brother in law will not put my phone down with the new MLB 2010 app as he can
wach the game as we are on a beer run live on the iPhone. I really got to kill that app!

Good for studio work where you camera is on a tripod....go to the subject and move there hand and snap....move their head
and snap...then show them the shots right on the iphone without moving out of frame.

Edit all settings and bracket, time lapse and MUCH MORE. Edit ISO, Apature, Shutter speed...Change your white balance on the fly too! This is soo great. Here are some of the screens

Me too! It's great on the iPad :D

[Hwyman]

Before flying, which I do twice a week I usually check iweathr.com designed specifically for iphone. When I am near an airport on a spotting trip, flightaware.com's mobile website is great.
When I am on a long flight there's nothing better that the Phil Hendrie show flashbacks from itunes.

I know, but they actually did a decent job. Has to be a contractor's work.

It has airport delays, checkpoint wait times which you can contribute to. A "what can I bring" section, a general travelers guide and even a feedback section where you can leave comments down to the checkpoint level.

I just downloaded it for my iTouch...not bad. Although for the "Can I bring my...?" tool...bit dangerous you can submit your entry if the item is not found...read between the lines... I guess the TSA didn't add a list of "adult" party favors ;) yeah I'm a sick bastard....

UGH, another 2 Androids in the family and I had to give a 3 hour "HOW TO USE MY PHONE" and STILL got calls all night on how do I do this and how did you do that!!! I am wiped!

why could they not just listen to me and get an iPhone or a Regular phone so I would not have to go thru this?

Hell, I know the android better than most people who own them and can say that supporting 6 of them in my family, I am glad I am keeping my iPhone. This debate will go on longer than the Airbus/Boeing and PC/ Mac and Canon/ Nikon but can tell you that the iPhone is easy for simple stupid people and anyone else who picks one up, we do not look at a laundry list of the "Best" hardware. We like our phones because of the "User Experience" and and Android and iPhone can do the same thing. The new iPhone 4 excels in the number game but not megapixels and the old phone (3Gs) still is an incredible experience. The iPhone has a nicer interface than the droid and I do not have to answer questions non stop from the iPhone users in my family. I wish the Android would die...I hate supporting the family (Who are not techies) 24/7

Everyone that has a droid has to try and tell me why it is better than my Crappy iPhone.... My wife does not have one app that is better on her phone than my iPhone and I have to keep on fixing things that she has a hard time doing...SHE HAD THE PHONE FOR 4 FIN MONTHS and I never once had to figure something out on my phone but constantly have to search or "FIGURE OUT" on her phone how to do it.


(FYI - AT@T does drop calls, not as horrible with me as everyone make it out to be but location does play a part in that I am sure. I use my phone for the smartphone 90% of the time and do not use the phone more than like 2% so the call drop issue is a non event. If you live on your phone you will probably be happier trying to figure out your droid....please do not call me tho?)


RANT RANT RANT.... IT IS SUPPOSE TO BE EASY, and while I have no issues using it, trying to teach a non techie is just hell. I have a headache and I am going to bed!

...the iPhone is easy for simple stupid people...

I do admit iOS4 has a easier GUI to navigate through but on the Android its like running a desktop so you can have widgets ect without having to go from app to app.

Much easier, Android users usually do not know half the features of their phone because it is too hard to navigate. Just yesterday my brother in law asked me if there was an app on the Android to show him traffic... He has not put his phone down in 4 months and I could not believe that he did not know how to do this. I showed him and 3 other people in the room that owned androids were amazed. Scary if you ask me

iPhone OS is just better and gives a much better user experience.... Specs can not make a person feel comfortable. GUI is key, what is a feature if people do not know about it?

FYI, I was trained many moons ago by GE for Mac Hardware and software and I never liked Mac. I got my wife a Mac tower and NEVER used it, nor did she. I always liked PC and the openness that apple never had.
Everyone that knows me says I am anti apple...Until the iPhone. I have never met an iPhone user that did not love their phone (Mel did give up due to AT@T service and that is the only person I had ever seen give up an iPhone)

Fair is fair, this is my .02c

(if your getting an Android, do yourself a favor... Try the Android and try the iPhone...do not let specs get in your way of the experience)

I have an android and I love it, but I also have an Ipod touch and an Ipad.


I find that Android has all the apps that I need and is easy to navigate.

I think you make very valid points. With the iPhone you have all the apps in front of you and you can select which one you want to use and then 2 secs later you are enjoying your app. The Android is built more like a desktop where everything isn't in front of you and it can be confusing for non tech people. One advantage over that is you can customize your home screen on the go so you can have an entertainment layout, work layout, school layout ect; and switch back and forth. Another thing separates the Android from iPhone (just like Windows and Mac) is that Android is just an OS while Apple gives you the complete package of having an OS and hardware. This can be confusing for Android users because companies like HTC and Motorola make custom skins for Android and if you change your phone you have to learn how to navigate the same OS all over again. The only person in my family who owns an Android utilizes .1% of it.

Even with these faults I don't see it affecting me too much, Android gives me the flexibility I need. Also even in the computer world I'm willing to sacrifice a lot for hardware as long as the software is usable and enjoyable. Don't get me wrong though if Android was wiped off the face of the earth and we all had to use iPhones I'd still be happy using it.

And I own an iPod touch so I know the iOS4 experience. I've used an Android phone before but I'm probably going to put Android 2.1 in a virtual machine.

The conference is live right now and Steve blames it on software and only .55% of customers have complained about it and 1/3 actually returned it vs. the 3GS. He said he will not change the design of the antenna.

do they send it with the free bumper so you can cover up an esthetically beautiful device with a 2 cent piece of rubber? ;)

are you trying to preach to me about rubbers Tom?

This is only because they do not use rubbers in china. If they used the rubbers bumpers the video would be a happy one

Roosevelt Field was out of stock when I went there Saturday. They only have units to replace any that are bad. They exchanged mine on Saturday.

There is a new App called Plane Spotter. It does a N number lookup.

You should experience TeamViewer on the iPad... you'd never want to go in to the office. I have done entire meetings from my car while spotting at Panera via iPad/TeamViewer :-) shhhh, don't tell anyone!

[Derf]

Yep Teamviewer on the PC to Pc is not bad either. I have fixed my mothers pc in Arizona from my Desktop and iPhone. The iPad is about the same as doing PC to pc. Fun stuff!!! It is also good when my son is having an issue with his laptop and I need to setup say a printer and I am to lazy to get up to walk into the other room.

[Derf]

Here is a program I have been using to track my fuel usage called Gas Cubby... it is quick and easy to use.

The Photographer's Ephemeris

This is a great way to position yourself for a long distance shot of an object and predict where the moon or sun will rise or set. I posted a few screen shots to show how it uses the map to draw lines to show the direction of sunrise/sunset.

Here zoomed out you can see the position that I decided to be in that intersects the moon rise..... I changed the day on the right for about 5 days until the moon behind the lighthouse converged with the parking lot I wanted to be in for the long distance shot (I wanted the moon to be big!)

Bumping this thread up again.
Need a GPS unit? A free one with turn by turn directions? Download WAZE - GPS

"Waze is a free social mobile app that enables drivers to build and use live maps, real-time traffic updates and turn-by-turn navigation for an optimal commute.
100% powered by users the more you drive the better it gets."

I've been using it for about a month now, and it has been spot on. Always looks for the best route based on feedback from its users. The more that use it the better it is.
Some of the nice things on the map that you and others can report and then others are made aware of...traffic, red light cameras, police (hidden or visible), construction or accidents.

It's no Garmin, but, it was free and suits my needs very well.

[mirrodie]

Thanks. I'll look at it now. I try to use the conventional gps still but this app appears better than the others I've use thus far
