Apple: iPhone News and Discussion Thread
So I finally went to the mobile version of YouTube.
Wow much better than the app.
So I added it to my homescreen and shoved the YouTube app to my unused folder
Only thing I don't like is that it opened up safari. But since I'm in it all the time, it's not that big of a deal.

its as simple as putting a link on your home screen.
just press the "+" button in safari and click on "add link to homescreen" or something like that.

YouTube got in my brain and prompted me to add it to my homescreen as soon as I loaded the page. I never new this was possible. Thanks
The benefits are I like to fuck with things and a now have android running on my iPhone! I'm dual booting so it gives me the option of which OS to boot into, I can easily boot into iOS 3.1.2
Again, this is alpha quality right now but then again the project is only a couple months old. It all got kickstarted when one guy showed off android running on an iPhone in April.

Yeah the You Tube app sucks. Mobile link for the win. But the vids don't always work. Like you click on the pic of the vid and it won't load. But I had this happen more on the app.
FYI, if you make links to certain websites, the icon for the bookmark might be a special icon. Like slickdeals has an SD like how You Tube has its logo instead of a minimized page.

they look damn good imo, and from what ive noticed there is very little battery drain, and ive yet to run out of resources in any way.

It runs like shit! I got the google apps installed and almost none of them work without crashing. Video doesn't play on youtube, the iPhone now won't charge the battery when it's running android and even when it is charged battery life is about an hour and everything is SLOOOOOW, if it works at all!
I upped them for someone else. I'll post the link here as well. I've made a few more, but they aren't in the original zip.

With this and the moviez site I'm going to shatter my bandwith. Thank God I got unlimited data. Already watched most of the Expendables. Time to start watching some Weeds, Californication, and 30 Rock.

*crickets* about this or everyone's watching netflix? Just watched an ep of Weeds. Probably 3 total skips mostly at the beginning. Then one part it got stuck so I rewound it. The rewinding/ffing feature is pretty good like You Tube.

... I wouldn't be behind on Rescue Me if I had some of that good stuff there!

i meant gmail settings at the actual website. not on the phone.
and if AT&T can help. sounds more like something that you would take care of at the "genius" bar at an apple store.

actually i was having issues with my colleges webmail, it wasnt able to connect anymore to the server.
found out that they actually migrated their email service to gmail. kind of cool, but useless to me since i dont got there anymore at the moment.
