Well I’ve had my iPhone 4 for over 24 hours now, and I wanted to post a few random thoughts for both the people who read this thing.  I know lists tend to go down well on other blogs, and, with it being the least amount or work for my good self, that’s what I’m going to treat you to.

In no particular order, a few thoughts that popped into my head over the last day or so.

1. It feels very different in the hand. I just picked the 3G up for a minute and it’s like molesting a whale while wearing rubber gloves. I’m not sure which I prefer yet as the ‘4′ feels very solid, but the 3G certainly feels more comfortable in my child-like mini-hand.
2. iOS 4 is buggy as hell – Mail especially. It regularly says I have half a dozen unread messages, but will only actually show me 2. A reboot of the phone fixes it. It’s definitely the OS as the same thing happened on my 3G running 4.0 too.  This is using MobileMe, should anyone be wondering.
3. I’ve decided I like the look – more class than modern.
4. It’s heavy, but in a ‘it’s solid’ kind of way.
5. Now the back is as much a fingerprint magnet as the front!
6. FaceTime is much, much better than I gave it credit for before trying it. Still a novelty feature for me though.
7. I’m going to be doing a lot more video/photos.
8. HD video is large – 16MB for 12s
9. The speaker is definitely louder than the 3G.
10. You find yourself waiting for apps to be updated – multitasking and hi-res. artwork needed!

So there you have it. Just a few random thoughts after a day of playing around with iPhone 4.

PS: I’ve not mentioned the reception issues – that’s been done to death all over the usual websites and forums. I do think, however, that we will see an improvment – if only in the reporting of reception – from a software update.

Did you buy an iPhone 4? Thoughts in the comments please!

It’s been a while since we had a new poll on here, but with the impending launch of the iPhone 4 I figured now was as good a time as any!

The question is simple enough:

Which iPhone 4 are you planning on buying?

The options -

• Black – 16GB
• Black – 32GB
• White – 16GB
• White – 32GB
• None!

As usual, the poll’s over in the sidebar so vote away!

It’s not often you get to see Steve Jobs sat talking about the biggest tech story of the ear (behind the iPad, of course!), so I’ve imbedded the video below.

Particularly interesting is the way Jobs mentions that there is some debate about how the iPhone was ‘found’, suggesting it may have been stolen from the Apple Employee’s bag.  Interesting indeed.

Last week I posted about the Sky Mobile app and what appeared to be their extortionate pricing. Since then, Sky have seen fit to clarify the situation and announce info about a trial scheme and reduced rates for existing Sky Sports subscribers.

I’m not sure I’d trust velcro enough to try this myself, unless you folks in the US have some sort of extra-strong stuff!

I so wanna try it though!

Believe it or not, this is my second ever iPad related post on here – a sure sign that this place hasn’t been getting much attention over the last couple of months.  Having said that, something happened a couple of days ago that made my blood boil, and it’s not just the mini-heatwave we’re experiencing over here in Blighty!

The internet’s all abuzz with iPhone 4G (they won’t call it that, right?) talk right now and it isn’t going to stop anytime soon. With that in mind, I’m taking pretty much everything I read with a couple of pinches of salt.

Having said that, it appears that Dutch phone retailer 2call.nl is listing an ‘iPhone 4G 32GB Black’ model already.
