iPhone 3G S Features guide
Jul 6th
Speed
The “S” stands for “SPEED!” And according to Apple, it is faster launching applications or rendering Web pages.
• The iPhone 3GS has a new processor built-in. Apple claims that it is up to two times faster than the previous generation: Launching messages is 2.1 faster, load the NY Times in Safari: 2.9 times faster. It also consumes less, which has an impact on the improved battery life.
Camera
This is one of the strong points of the iPhone 3GS, according to Apple. They increased the resolution to 3 megapixels, which—judging from the shots they showed-seems much better quality under all conditions.
• 3 Megapixels sensor.
• New camera, with auto focus, auto exposure, and auto white balance.
• You can also tap to focus, changing white balance in the process. That is really neat, if you ask me.
• Special macro and low light modes.
• The camera also supports photo and video geotagging.
• Any application can access all the camera functions now.
• It supports video, 30 frames per second VGA with auto focus, auto white balance, and auto exposure.
• You can trim the video shot just using your finger, then share it via MMS, email, MobileMe and YouTube.
Connectivity
The other part of the “S” is the support for the faster 7.2 Mbps 3G standard, which in theory will deliver data faster to your iPhone.
• Three band UMTS/HSDPA.
• Four band GSM/EDGE.
• Wi-Fi 802.11b/g.
• Bluetooth 2.1 + EDR
Graphics
• The new iPhone 3GS includes new 3D graphics support in hardware. This means faster and more complicated 3D games.
• Same 3.5-inch widescreen multitouch display, but this time it has a fingerprint-resistant oleophobic coating. I wonder if it will withstand a full frontal Shake Shack burger attack.
Design
• Same design as before, including the glossy finish of the back (so much for all the rumors about the matte back.)
• Same size as the old iPhone 3G: 4.5 x 2.4 x 0.48 inches.
• The weight increases a bit: One ounce to 4.8 ounces (135 grams vs 133 grams).
• Greener materials: Arsenic-free glass, BDF-free, Mercury-free LCD.
New special features
• It has a magnetometer, which works with a Compass application, third parties, and it is integrated into the new Google maps app, showing your orientation with a small semitransparent cone.
• Voice control. You can now talk with your iPhone, Enterprise-style. You can instruct it to play similar songs to the one you are playing, or call people.
• Nike + support built in.
• Supports accessibility features, like zooming on text, inverting video, and voice over when you touch whatever text is on screen.
Battery life
• One of the more important new features is the increased battery life.
• According to Apple, you will get up to 12 hours of talk time on 2G and 5 on 3G, with a up to 300 hour standby time.
• On 3G, it will deliver 5 hours of internet use.
• On Wi-Fi, Internet goes up to 9 hours.
• Video playback is 10 hours vs 30 hours for audio.
Price and availability
• $199 for 16GB version.
• $299 for 32GB version.

Voice Controlled Alarm
Jun 18th
The first iphone alarm clock that can be switched off with your voice!
VCA is a nightstand alarm clock that can be silenced and also woken from phone lock state with your voice (i.e. so you can see the clock at night).
Shout anything, clap, or just make any noise when the alarm clock sounds and it will turn the alarm off. At last, you can leave your phone in the dock at the end of your bed and not have to get up to turn the alarm off!
FEATURES:
– Turn the alarm clock off with just your voice
- Wake from lock with your voice (phone will then go back to lock in the time set in settings)
- Snooze function
- Wake Up Call – Ability to call a nominated number on Alarm or after first snooze (iPhone only)
- Simple design layout and interface
- Stops iphone from going to sleep mode (unless phone has been put in lock)
- Lock your phone(with the VCA running) and the app still works
Voice Controlled Alarm disables the auto-lock feature automatically, as the application needs to be on for the alarm to work. We recommend you leave a power source connected because of this.
To enable the Alarm Call enter in phone number on settings page (to disable just leave the text edit box blank). The application will phone the nominated number at the alarm time, if snooze is disabled, or will call after first alarm is snoozed (after call is complete the alarm will continue in snoozed state).
VCA, like any other application on the App Store, cannot run in the background. So VCA must be in the foreground for the alarm to work correctly, although you can turn the phone off (VCA must still be running) and the app is still active.
If using on ipod touch 2nd gen – a microphone is needed (and there is NO call functionality).
/// There is a free version that you can try before you buy, it has all the features except the voice alarm deactivation! search for “Wakeup Call Alarm”, or “WCA” for short///
// KNOWN ISSUES:
Feedback – Some people are having trouble with feedback. Please press lock button – issue seems to dissapear after this. If it still does not disappear, try a reboot, then please contact us //
Please contact us at help@cyandesign.co.uk if you have any problems using our applications, or you would like to suggest new features, we try our best to reply to every email.
– swipe up/down for night/day mode
– swipe left right for different clock face styles
Compatible with iPhone and iPod touch (2nd generation)
Requires iPhone OS 2.2.1 or later
