Testing the WordPress iPhone app [UPDATED]

June 22nd, 2010 View Comments

I am just trying to see how well this WordPress app publishes photos taken with my iPhone. In the past this app has been wretched.

What bothers me with this app is that I can’t place the photos where I want them to be in the post. If you happen to know a way for this to be done please let me know.

Thanks!

A little while later…

…oh wait I figured it out. The code for the photo shows up at the bottom and I can just select, cut and paste where necessary. While it’s tedious on an iPhone it’s effective.

Good night…er morning. lol

By the way here is a screen shot of my home screen after spending literally an hour organizing my apps into folders categorically. I love this new OS despite it’s faults, which is for another blog post later on. Sheesh!

[UPDATE]

I failed to give credit to a cool twitter follower that lead me to the awesome iPhone/iPod Touch apps bookshelf you see above. He’s knunez on twitter. Thanks Kevin!

If you’d like this wallpaper on your homescreen too, you can just go here with your iPhone’s twitter app. (For this to work as your homescreen wallpaper you will need to have updated your device to iOS4.)

  1. Tap the image or link (depending on your twitter app in use).
  2. Tap the screen again to clear the controls.
  3. Do a screen grab of the image.
  4. Go to your photos album and make it a wallpaper like usual and you’re done.

You’re welcome!

Randomly spotted this today in the middle of a Google search on iOS4. It’s based on one of the author’s blog posts back in 2006 called “The 7 phases of owning an iPod”. Read the comic (below) in it’s entirety here.

Gave me a light chuckle. Oh, and look for what it says right at the bottom of the comic when you visit the site. ;)

From what I’ve gathered from across the web, iOS4 is rumored to be released at around 10:00am (pacific standard time); 1:00pm (eastern standard time). But you ain’t heard that from me *pointing* —-> razorianfly.com: “The Countdown to iOS4″

Farmville At 7-Eleven

Obviously Zynga has come quite a long way. Got a nice deal here with 7-Eleven and an iPhone app in the works for Farmville. Sing it with me y’all! “Movin’ on up to the East side. We finally got a piece of the pie!”

Btw, I snapped this with my iPhone while getting gas at 7-Eleven. (To totally digress for a moment, I have to say that I love my iPhone 3GS’s camera feature. It has come in handy ever since I accidentally broke my point-and-shoot camera in New York City last summer. More importantly, in light of the great quality that the 3GS delivers I am even more excited about getting my reserved iPhone 4 next Thursday!)

Will I lose my Unlimited Data Plan when I switch to iPhone 4?

June 11th, 2010 View Comments

No. You will not lose your Unlimited Data plan when purchasing the iPhone 4, assuming you already have a smartphone.

My close friends and I were talking about this question yesterday while at work. So I did a simple browsing of AT&T’s forums and found a page with a clear answer. In so many words, it states that you have the option of switching to the new available plans, but you do not have to. So I’m personally glad to know I won’t lose my unlimited data plan.

[AT&T Moderator]: Thank you for taking the time to post your comments, inquiries, and suggestions regarding the New Smartphone Data Plans. We see that there is much discussion and some confusion regarding these new plans.

We would like to begin by saying that current Smartphone customers are not required to switch to the new plans but can choose to do so without a contract extension. In addition, current Smartphone customers with the unlimited data plan are not required to switch to the new plans if they renew their contract or switch to another Smartphone; however, if you choose to change to one of the new lower-priced plans, you will not be able to go back to your unlimited plan in the future. All NEW activations or new-to-Smartphone upgrades must choose from the New Smartphone Data Plans. Read more…

Finally, if you want to know about your upgrade eligibility dial *639# on your mobile device and you’ll get a text message from AT&T. Or you can just go to MyWireless: att.com/wireless/iphone.

You’re welcome! *bows* jk

Video: Engadget hands-on with iPhone OS 4

This is a really great development in iPhone OS news. I think I’m most excited about the multitasking more than anything for the iPhone. And it appears that Apple figured out an effective way to do it without too much affect on the battery life.

To reiterate what I said on twitter, I toyed with jumping ship from the iPhone if Apple wasn’t going to bring multitasking to the device. In hindsight, I’m glad I didn’t.
