iType Faster - new keyboard

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Frb62AM97aE&feature=player_embedded

Download .deb file here

My review: Don't like this keyboard, I guess i'm too used to the standard layout. Besides, I cannot access my other keyboards, iow, you are forced to only use this keyboard. Worth a try though, you might just adapt to it quicker that I did..

I tried it, its ok, but the one thing that irks me : auto capitalization does not work.

@limnos : mine switches over with no problem, do you have iKeyEx installed?

Another thing i've noticed is that in the summary view in itunes it shows that "other" is taking up around 700mb (which probably includes apps but doesn't differentiate) of space. It doesn't show the apps which is also taking up the space. Also the apps and photos tabs are missing, it just shows, Summary, Info, Ringtones, Music and Podcasts.

Anyway, i've tried the the re-install. Maybe a restore? I'm always unlucky with these things

yup, can only suggest u try a restore, you have any cydia apps on the phone than interfaces with the phone's music library? it sounds like itunes is picking up your phone as a different device

I just have cycorder, clearcam, winterboard, clipboard and voip3g. Can i back these up before doing a shift+restore?
 
I think we should ask V3G to host the iphone OS3 update on Vodacom's web site.

Otherwise it will take us another week to get it.

you can back them up with an app called aptbackup

but that just makes a list of the apps, so, after the restore, you jailbreak, then with cycorder you install aptbackup, do a restore from itunes so your contacts etc are back on the phone, and then run aptbackup and chose restore, it then downloads your apps again

why another week?? i don't follow?

vodacom won't host the beta, as it should only be available to devs

OS 3.0 beta 3 battery life

theron.roland said:
@M

any word on battery life?? according to Limnos it's radically reduced by 3.0, I haven't noticed this :(

So with Wifi, 3G and BT on all day with quite a bit of browsing, gaming and a few calls I managed 24 hours before the 20% battery remaining warning came on. So I would say it is about par with 2.x

Sounds good! Will have to finish my 200 bite credit first, or wait for Martin from biteSMS to release a lite version to work on the beta versions...

Re: News24 iPhone App
Oops, sorry guys, I forgot (until now) to come back here and post an update on my posting about the News24 iPhone app, I got an email back from them saying (btw: I am in the SA store as per one followup)
"Not sure how ITWeb got hold of the Press Release. The app is not yet ready for download on the app-store, unfortunately, we are at the mercy of Apple’s processes.
It should be up and ready for download by the end of this week or early next. So sorry for the inconvenience."

Thanks for the feedback - should be interesting to see it.
 
Hope Fin24 will be implemented into the application...

I think it is so important for companies to hit this market...

I reckon all the banks should offer a secure iPhone Application - I mean it would cost them nothing to pay a developer to write a simple mobile banking application...
 
Did anyone get a message on their iTunes saying that there is a carrier settings upgrade for the iPhone? What does this mean for us jailbroken folk?

Carrier settings are just network operator settings, doesn't make a diffs if your phone is jailbroken or not, can I ask you to send me the carrier file to [email protected] ? Would like to have a poke around and see what they changed... I've modified my own carrier file, and gave it a high version number, so iTunes probably won't recognize the new version as an update for me
