Yes, as I keep agreeing, it does give you more area. Does this area make the best use of your central vision. No. Is this area best suited to modern computing uses? IMHO, no. Just a question, is 4:3 actually your favorite aspect for all displays? What is your ideal aspect on the below devices? - Smartphone - Laptop - Desktop - TV (for TV use) - TV (for movie use) - TV (for gaming use) Just curious. So why didn't they use 4:3 on the iPhone? Macbooks? Surely these portable devices need the most screen area for the 'designed width'. Just because it worked does not make it the most ideal standard. People make do with what they have, what they know. It takes someone to question the current standards and be successful in propagating the move to a new standard. There are all sorts of reasons why pushing a new standard will not come easy, some of which were mentioned in the article I linked to on how 4:3 became the standard for cinema. So, again, why not use this standard on more of their devices? I never mentioned the proportion being bad because it is "old". I was talking about old standards not being ideal for modern uses, especially those which were decided upon with much less than scientific reasoning and pushed by monopolistic practices. Besides, industry standards are in no way the same as scientific observations, that much should be obvious to anyone. Again, that's not an actual real world comparison. In real world examples the same view is always rendered vertically. This is because you are supposed to view the screen at a distance so that vertically the same amount of your vision is taken up on whichever aspect screen you are viewing. This way you get the most out of your available central vision. Of course I do concede that this isn't always possible with tablet use, but it is still the desired goal. Clearly you don't understand this concept at all and always view displays at a less than ideal distance for productive use and cinematic immersion.
If I jail break Mrs grim's old 3gs will this also remove the network lock? If so anyone who can point me in the direction of a good jail breaking website it would be appreciated.
Looks like I didn't bookmark the old site. Found this though, it's done on a mac but you can get redsn0w for windows too. http://www.cultofmac.com/71547/how-to-jailbreak-and-unlock-iphone-3g3gs-using-redsn0w-jailbreak-superguide/ Redsn0w for windows, at the bottom of the first post. http://blog.iphone-dev.org/tagged/redsn0w And this is where you can download the different firmware versions for your idevice. http://www.felixbruns.de/iPod/firmware/# This is the blog for those jailbreaky folk. http://blog.iphone-dev.org/ Or there's this method I found in some forum.
Jailbreaking itself is pretty straightforward, just do an iTunes backup, run tiny umbrella to save your blobs then do a restore with the downloaded firmware and follow the instructions in redsn0w. Probably takes about 30 minutes tops. You got Trine yet?
Wasn't there a big row on here at some point about the iPhone aspect ratio? Apple have just revealed the iPhone 5 to have a 16:9 screen according to the BBC.
All my Sky News app is telling me at the mo is. 4'' 16:9 screen A6 chip 4G New 'Lightning' connector (replacing 30 pin) 8MP camera with panorama mode It says more to follow.
It was about the iPad screen ratio. If you want to see the features for the iPhone 5, here's the link: http://www.apple.com/iphone/features/
I glanced through the slides of the new Lightning dock connector but nothing mentioned if it was going to be faster than the last one. Is it same transfer speeds or same?
Are they still making the screens out of mirrors so when you're out in the sunshine you can see precisely fuck all? I've always loved that about iPhones and iPads.
According to the apple store it is USB 2. No USB 3 or Thunderbolt... Lame. http://store.apple.com/us/product/MD818ZM/A/lightning-to-usb-cable
That's the included cable. I'm guessing that doesn't mean there won't be Lightning-to-USB 3 or Lightning-to-Thunderbolt versions that are sold separately.
They've upgraded to "in-cell" tech for the touchscreen, and glare reduction is claimed to be one of the benefits of that.
Please don't reignite the stupid aspect ratio debate. The last time it went on for a bazillion pages and nothing was resolved.
Don't worry...it was about tablets, not phones or iPods. The iPad mini will come out next month at 4:3.
