iPhone OS 3.1

by Johan on July 1, 2009

Today the first build of iPhone OS 3.1 was released to registered Apple developers. No release notes or change notes have been posted, but here’s to hoping that they fix two of my main gripes with OS 3.0.

My issue #1 – Exchange Calendar Invites

Every time you accept a calendar invite on the iPhone running OS 3.0, it sends back a message to the sender that you accepted “Tentatively”. This is a fairly well known issue, and makes the iPhone practically unusable for Exchange corporate users. I would be very surprised if this issue was not fixed in 3.1.

My issue #2 – Can no longer auto lock the iPhone

When I drive my car, most of the time I just have the icon view up to see if someone sends me an email. As of OS 3.0 it is no longer possible to set the auto-lock period to “Never”. The thing is, I can swear that it showed “Never” when I restored my device a week ago. Very weird. Hopefully the “Never auto-lock” will be back in 3.1.

Move Your Dock

by Johan on June 30, 2009

If you like me have been using Mac OSX for many years, you are probably as skeptical as I was to moving the dock to somewhere else on your screen.

Well, today I moved my dock to the top left position of my screen and I must say that it was really refreshing to get the full screen height for work place! Especially when using VMWare Fusion, having the Windows 7 task bar at the bottom of the screen instead of having it placed “just above the dock” made for huge usability improvements when working with Office 2007. Picking the proper application is now tons faster and easier in the Windows 7 virtual machine.

Try it, you might like it as much as I did!

  1. Change the Dock location through  > Dock > Position of Left
  2. Change it to be aligned to the top using this simple tip

Skype for Windows Mobile 3.0

by Johan on June 30, 2009

Yesterday Skype for Windows Mobile 3.0 was released, featuring file transfers and SMS message sending. Skype for Windows Mobile 3.0 also features a “killer feature” unique to the Windows Mobile platform: Being able to call any number through Skype over the 3G network!

It is worth noting that unlike Skype for iPhone, [in Skype for Windows Mobile] it is possible to make Skype calls also over 3G cellular networks like UMTS / HSDPA / CDMA-EVDO. Also the file transfer function makes a lot more sense in Windows Mobile as downloaded files can be accessed by any Windows Mobile app – unlike it is in iPhone where each app has access only to its own files.

From msmobiles.com

With current mobile data subscriptions costing just €5 per month in Sweden, being able to call any number in the world for cheap rates through Skype is definitely worth looking at if you regularly have high mobile phone bills! Current reviews for Skype for Windows Mobile 3.0 has been overly positive:

Overall, we found Skype 3.0 for Windows Mobile to work smoothly and retain the feel of the desktop original
