iPhone 5 in July 2011: five reasons it’s worth the wait, five why it isn’t


"Reception: if you're waiting for the iPhone 5 because you're hoping it won't suffer from the same "antenna issue" that the iPhone 4 did, you're barking up the wrong tree. There is no iPhone 4 antenna issue and never was, despite fraudulent claims to the contrary from certain publications."

Audible

Audible is an Amazon audio book app on my iPhone that comes with some free books.  There is a chapter of “Earth” http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Earth_(The_Book) which is pretty funny.

PCWorld Multitasking With iOS 4 is Horrible: Apple Blew It

http://www.pcworld.com/article/199528/multitasking_with_ios_4_is_horrible_apple_blew_it.html

Yes. Apple blew it. I just had to close 41 apps, none of which are
really running in the background anyway. Losing the double click to
get to my phone speed dial really bothers me. Now getting to speed
dial takes way too many steps. I already had a great way of selecting
apps; it is called the menu system, and I make good use of folders so
that I can find things quickly.

iPod/iPhone chess tactics problems

I saw an app for $2.99 that had 1200 tactics problems.   I can no longer find this app.  I am thinking that it was removed from the app store.  I also read online about an app with the same description, but I could not find the app name in the app store.

 

I am thinking of paying $7.99 for the full shredder to get the extra 1100 tactics problems, so that I can have them on my trip.
