Calling all iphone users

[dirty_sanchez]

I'm currently rocking Star Wars: The Force Unleashed. It's an interesting idea actually.

[RedinSweden]

neg away, it's a poor game and was instantly deleted. Very good of your mate to put out a free version, means the idiots who actually pay for iphone software get to see how crap it is before parting with cash :yes:

 

just you wait young man

 

*shakes fist*

 

The game has now reached a million downloads. That is ace.

I wonder if you download it again after deleting it it then counts as a new download? :whistle:

It doesn't, unless you wipe the phone.

I must say the BBC iplayer on this is marvellous.

[dirty_sanchez]

WHAT! WANT WANT WANT!

 

Is that an app store app, or do you just go to the website?

[Thants]

My mate had to adjust the seetings on the BBC website but I just went to the iplayer site and it played. There's a chance it needs wifi for it to work.

I can confirm it works DS, and I can also confirm its WiFi only. You get a message (not sure how they are able to determine your connection type from a web page) but it says 'you need to switch to a Wifi connection'. Pretty cool that it works though, but it will be even better when the iPhone has native flash player support (rather than pointing iPlayer/Youtube etc to quicktime movie versions of the flash videos).

[Thants]

Wiiksie, my confirmer.

[Vincent Vega]

iPhone software version 3.0 is coming.

 

It's going to rule.

I think that's built in functionality on the phone. It's the same if you try and download an app from the store which is over 10Mb.

 

I'm surprised that it works given the iPhone's lack of Flash support.

Its this H.264 mp4 video format that they use I think. Same with youtube. So for every FLV version of a youtube clip, they host a quicktime video encoded in H.264 so iPhones etc can access. Proprietary and a bit rubbish, but it will do for now until Flash Mobile Player gets its arse in gear on the iPhone.

[dirty_sanchez]

That seems a long way off though. Once full Flash support becomes available, people will move away from developing apps specifically for the iPhone because if they did them in Flash, they'd be cross platform. I think Apple will hold off on the Flash support for as long as they possibly can.

[dirty_sanchez]

Hatred negged me again for having an iPhone. What a douche.

That is why you cant access new youtube films. They take a while to format.

Right . . . .

A pain in the tits for budding young film makers like yourself, eh Nick Nick.

[King Gheedorah]

I really fancy one of these. Anyone have an idea where to get the best deal?

There pretty much aren't any deals if you're in the UK. O2 are about as cheap as it gets.

[Duncan Clench]

Over the course of an 18month contract, it works out cheaper to go PaYG but you'd have to buy the phone.

[Thants]

Yup. And I'll take the 'young' for a rep.

[retrojerseys]

i'll give it a blast

That'll be the solution then.

 

PS: Just got negged by Hatred for associating myself with the iphone.

 

Below the belt that is.

[dirty_sanchez]

Hatred does that. It's because he's a hater with an 80's yuppie brick mobile phone.
