      Here come the FaceTime sex chat services

      June 27, 2010 /

      iPhone 4.The iPhone 4 has been out for all of three days and already there are FaceTime sex chat services forming. The following is from a New York Craigslist ad, which offers a “competitive salary” and a free iPhone 4 for services rendered.

      Starting an online interactive pornography firm where woman will use the iphone 4 to video chat with potential customers on a pay as you go basis.
      Hours are flexible, pay will increase as the business builds. Woman will receive a free iphone 4 to use as personal time when not working. Woman will talk to potential clients and chat with them and perform various acts as desired by clients. All information will be confidential.

      Payment will be based on percentage of sales volume and performance. Potential launch date of the company is 9/1/2010 or based on feedback received.

      Woman will receive, as before mentioned, a free cell phone and a very competitive salary.

      Please send information and pictures – we would like to launch sooner than 9/1/2010.

      Woman must be at least 18 years old.

      So how bout it, ladies? Interested in seeing a lot of VGA-quality penis?

      Did the iPhone 4 prototype case mask reception problems?

      June 26, 2010 /

      iPhone 4 prototype case.The big question surrounding the iPhone 4 reception issue is how did Apple not catch it? They had the phone for months, presumably testing it in the Bay area for months. So why didn’t the Apple techs experience the problem?

      Miguel Helft at the NYT Bits Blog had one theory – when the Apple techs were out the field, the iPhone 4 prototype was disguised in a case to look like the 3GS. The case meant a tech’s hands didn’t touch the antennae, so there were no interference issues, so there was nothing to catch.

      Apple said Thursday that a case is one way to solve the reception issues.

      There may be a software fix in the works for iPhone 4 reception issues

      June 26, 2010 /

      iPhone 4 FaceTime.A lot of new iPhone 4 owners have been sorely disappointed by the handset’s reception. There is an issue that causes reception to drop dramatically when held so that the two bands on the side of the phone that serve as antennae are connected.

      Users at Apple Insider claimed to have seen reports on Apple’s official tech forums that a software fix would be coming this week, as early as Monday.

      Readers report that Apple’s tech support forums originally confirmed that a iOS 4.0.1 software fix addressing the issue would ship early next week (as early as Monday), before the comments were subsequently taken down along with all the other related discussion about the matter.

      The fix is expected to address a issue in iOS 4 related to radio frequency calibration of the baseband. Readers who saw the original forum discussions say that the issue is believed to occur when switching frequencies; because the lag is allegedly not calibrated correctly, it results in the device reporting “no service” rather than switching to the frequency with the best signal to noise ratio.

      iOS 4 introduced some enhancements to how the baseband selects which frequencies to use, so it makes sense that the error may have crept into those changes. Additionally, this explains why iOS 4 has also caused similar problems for iPhone 3GS users.

      Let’s hope this is true. I haven’t personally had the problem, but I’d be pretty pissed if I had a great handset that couldn’t actually be used as a phone.

      Get your FaceTime with an Apple employee

      June 25, 2010 /

      FaceTime.So you rushed out to get yourself a shiny new iPhone 4 and you want to share it with your friends. Problem is, none of your friends did the same. No one you know did the same. So how will you test FaceTime?

      Call Apple. Apple set up 1-888-FACETIME to allow new users to test out FaceTime with Apple employees. The service has been live since yesterday and could become the status quo for tech support calls. I’ll probably give a call tomorrow to try things out (I’m in that no-friends-with-iPhone-4s boat), but I can’t say I’m real interested in doing tech support over video chat. It still freaks me out any time I see the little green light go live on my webcam.

      iPhone 4 problems

      June 24, 2010 /
      I realize I’m a bit…ahem…fanboyish when it comes to Apple products. What can I say? I love them. They work well for me and complement my lifestyle. But they aren’t perfect. Everything has its flaws, so it seems only fair to share those of the iPhone 4.

      First, the glass. It doesn’t seem to be as strong as Apple first suggested. There have been multiple reports, pictures, videos, whatever, of the back of the phone shattering from minimal impact. Not exactly the most desirable feature from your beautiful new phone.

      Some users are also complaining of yellowed screens near the home button. The official response is that it’s just drying glue, but that seems a little unlikely to me. I guess we’ll see over the course of the next couple days.

      A number of users have also reported significant signal loss when holding the phone by the bezel. You may remember, the bezel is the antenna for the phone, so it stands to reason that this could be an issue. Personally, I haven’t had this problem, and my call quality has actually improved from the 3GS, especially when I have low signal strength.

      Lastly, some users are reporting that cameras are crashing their devices. Again, haven’t personally experienced this problem but it looks like a decent number of people have.
