iPhone power tips from Mac | Life



Mac | Life has a huge roundup of "25 iPhone Power Tips"-- just in case you've been living under a rock since late June, here's everything you missed about the iPhone, from how to unstick a stuck slider, to using aluminum foil to insulate an audio cable from the iPhone's signal, to where to go for iPhone 411. Of course you're here already, baby, and if you haven't noticed, that we have a page completely dedicated to iPhone itself, then look no further.

Some of the tips are a little obvious (like #6: surprise, surprise, if you can't see the camera button while the phone's turned away from you, place your finger before you turn it-- brilliant!). And there are plenty of omissions-- I know for sure that Battlefleet, the best game I've seen on the non-jailbroken iPhone, is missing, and there's nothing at all about Installer.app or any of the craziness you can pull off with that. That's a big deal, even though it may be a little more underground than Mac | Life wants to go.

But there's some good info here, especially if you've just recently plunked down the cash to AT&T and want your tips all in one place. Just make sure to come back here and pay attention when you're done.

I've tried this. I does not work.... Well kind of. The buzz is less often but when it does happen, the intensity is stronger.

I rented a Subaru 08 with the stock radio and 6 disc MP3 player. The stereo has an AUX port near the lighter. I plugged in my iPhone using the Belkin Male to Male cable. I did not get any interference while using the phone or internet.

Thanks for the link to the article, Mike. I wouldn't have seen it otherwise.

But...

Is there anything more annoying than an article that makes you click through nearly a dozen pages? Just put the article on one page... Two if it's really long.

Are they trying to get more clicks or lengthen each user's stay? WTF!?

Life's too short!
