Re: MERGED - IPhone 4
It's called N.O.V.A. I have it for both iPad and iPhone and to be honest it's mediocre. It does display the power of iDevices but the it only has 5 enemy types the entire game, the voice acting is horrendous, and the story is non-existent. Its pretty entertaining but if you're a fan of shooters you will be let down.

Re: MERGED - IPhone 4
Could it be as simple as adjusting the SIM card to clear up the signal issues?

Possible fix for iPhone 4 signal problems available?
One of the most popular iPhone 4 topics is the reception issue many people have mentioned that seem to be exacerbated by how you hold the smartphone. While Apple currently suggests avoiding certain hand positions or using a case, there is a new report that suggests a possible fix for the issue.
According to a MacRumors article, the issue could be caused by an improper placement of the SIM card in the new iPhone. By removing and replacing the SIM card, or otherwise adjusting the SIM card's positioning, some people have been able to clear their phone's reception problems.
It is possible that the SIM card is making an improper connection with its aluminum chassis, which may in turn provide a connection to the antenna. Such connections could cause grounding issues that result in poorer overall radio-frequency reception. Further supporting the theory, some people report they have had similar success using tape or other insulators to prevent the SIM card from making contact with the holder chassis.
If you wish to try the fix, keep in mind that not everyone has had success in their attempts, though we cannot be certain to what extent they adjusted the SIM card. You can try removing and reinserting the card, wiggling it in its mountings a little to see if that changes its position, or use tape like others have mentioned.
Another thing to keep in mind is while adjusting the SIM card may help improve reception issues for the new iPhone, it's not out of the question that the issue is actually a software problem. The fact that older iPhone models have shown reception issues after applying the latest iOS 4 update suggests a software component may be a contributing factor, and therefore a future software update may still help the issue.
Finally, we have had people comment to us that this issue seems a bit blown out of proportion. While this problem may seem prominent with the number of "me too" replies in forum postings and other mentions of these problems, keep in mind the iPhone 4 has been the largest seller in Apple's history, and has so far been sold to millions of people. With such a large user base, even if the percentage of people sharing problems is no larger than that for other devices, there will be more people overall who are affected by the issue.

From the looks of that Verizon ad below they may not even be considering the iPhone @ this point to be taking shots @ it like that.. all they need to do now is make a commercial with the Progressive cavemen showing that making a call on that shitty AT&T network is so fucked up a caveman CANT do it and

AdMob: iOS Platform Continues to Lead in Mobile Data Usage, But Android Surging
Wednesday June 30, 2010 03:32 PM EST
Written by Eric Slivka
As it has done on a monthly basis for the past several years, AdMob today released a new Mobile Metrics Report for May 2010. The report highlights worldwide trends in mobile requests to its ad network from over 23,000 mobile websites and applications.
This month's report shows continued strength for the iPhone and other iOS devices during the lead-up to the iPhone 4 launch just last week. Google, AdMob's parent company, is making strong inroads with its Android operating system, however, growing rapidly from a negligible share of the mobile ad request market only a year ago to approximately 25% today.
Android's overall strength, however, results from its inclusion on a wide variety of smartphones from a variety of manufacturers. That is in contrast to Apple, which offers essentially only a single iPhone that currently leads the pack by a wide margin with nearly 40% of worldwide ad requests compared to only 6.8% for the second-place Motorola Droid.
AdMob's data also offers an interesting glimpse into the geographic distribution of Apple's "iOS" family of devices. Among the interesting pieces of data included in the report is a note that fewer than half of all iOS devices are located in North America, with 43% residing in the United States and 5% in Canada. When it comes to the iPad specifically, however, the U.S. sees a full 58% of the devices, an unsurprising result given that Apple is still working to roll the device out to its international markets.
In comparing iOS and Android devices, the report shows that Android is rapidly approaching the iPhone's ad request share in the U.S., with 11.2 million unique iPhones registering there during May while 8.5 million Android devices appeared on the company's network. As many have argued, however, Apple's iPod touch and iPad also contribute significantly to the "iOS ecosystem" and, while not true smartphones, should be counted in some way as important players in the mobile web and application market. Adding in iPod touch and iPad data boosts iOS devices to 19.3 million in the U.S., giving iOS a 2-to-1 advantage over Android. Worldwide, the data leans even more strongly in Apple's favor as Android has yet to catch on significantly in most international markets, with iOS devices out-numbering Android devices 3.5-to-1 on a global basis.
With today's release AdMob also noted that its monthly metrics reports will be going on hiatus for at least the next several months as the company looks to rethink the best way of sharing information on the rapidly-growing mobile market with the public.

Re: MERGED - IPhone 4
iPhone 4’s FaceTime over 3G (Sorta)
In our review of the iPhone 4, we noted that the Facetime app worked fairly well, on a par with netbooks’ webcams, but Apple has limited its use to iPhone 4’s connected to a Wi-Fi network. But what if there were a way to jury-rig it so that we could use Facetime via 3G?
We found the answer in one of the iPhone 4’s main competitors, the HTC Evo 4G. By using the Evo 4G’s Hotspot feature, we connected one iPhone to it via Wi-Fi, tricking the iPhone into thinking it was using a broadband connection rather than 3G. To cut down on variables, the second iPhone was connected to a real Wi-Fi hotspot.
So, how’d it do?
In summary: Not well. Steve Jobs was right to limit Facetime to Wi-Fi connections. Audio came through only in patches, and video was like a slideshow at best. We somewhat expected this – we had the same experience when using Fring and Qik over 3G. So for now, limit your smartphone videoconferencing to Wi-Fi.
Even if you could use face time on 3g you will go over your 2gb of data a mouth on at&t network fast.

Ducati creates a short film with the iPhone 4

I have to eat my words -- despite my belief before launch that an iPhone 4 wouldn't be hard to find without a preorder, I'm still waiting to get the chance to buy one. But I got to play with another one last night (that screen!), and just like every other time I've had a chance to use it, I've been very impressed by the back camera. Both stills and HD video look really amazing when taken with that thing. Here's another example: the Ducati motorcycle team filmed the entire commercial above on eight different iPhone 4s over a period of four days -- watching it in HD shows off just what this camera is capable of.
They did use the Owle Bubo, which explains some of the better shots a little bit. And you can also see that slight shudder so common to low-end HD cameras, especially when the camera pans quickly or tries to capture fast motion. But especially without color correction, the images still look terrific for a camera on your phone. The audio is great as well, but I'm not convinced they did that with only a phone. The final video was edited together in Adobe Premiere, just because "there were enough unknowns" without trying to use iMovie on iPhone for the first time.

Re: MERGED - IPhone 4
In all honesty, all these additional features these other phones rave about:
HDMI out, Mobile hot spot
The average cellphone user does not have the first clue on how to use such features so why even waste resources adding that to a phone?
I personally do not see a reason for me to connect my phone to my TV via HDMI
As a mobile hot spot, not a bad feature, but only a few consumers know the benefits of such a feature.
These phones are so feature rich, but many consumers do not even use a third of the features all (i4, Evo, Droid) these phones offer

Even the fanbois that have them.. rarely or never use them except to try it out because it's there. It's not very practical.

The iPhone4 with iMovie will bring a lot of creative short films out of people, and homegrown movies too. Only drawback for the Evo and droid devices is how to edit the movies, or does that already exist on Android? I honestly do not know.
Gat damn...imagine shooting, and editing your homegrown all in one shot?
