The iPhone case giveaway ended on Friday at midday, and here are the lucky winners!
I gave everyone who entered a number, and then did some clicking over at random.org to generate the winning entries. So, the winners are:
I’ll contact each of you in turn to see which case you’d like. If there are any cases that the winners don’t want, I’ll grab another random winner and let you know.
Thanks to everyone who entered. There will be another few case reviews and a giveaway in a little while 
I’ve already looked at how to buy the cheapest officially unlocked iPhone in the UK, but what if you already have your iPhone?
If you’ve decided you either can’t or don’t want to use an unofficial unlock, such as ultrasn0w from the iPhone Dev Team, then that leaves you with one option: get it unlocked officially by a mobile network.
So what’s the likelihood of that happening with the UK iPhone carriers? Continue Reading
There’s a clear policy on this website: no press releases. There are plenty of other sites that provide that sort of news regurgitation service. But on this occasion I’m going to break that rule.
I like to make people aware of iPhone-related things that are interesting, or just good ideas. And the best ideas are often the simplest, like this one.
I’ve recently reviewed three different cases and covers for the iPhone:
Proporta’s Soft Feel silicon case
VOi’s Lorem hard shell case, and
iWrap’s protective film.
And now I’m going to give them away!
I’ve recently reviewed the Proporta Soft Feel Silicon Case and the VOi! Lorem. Lastly in this series of case reviews is the iWrap.
This is a totally different proposition – it’s not a case, it’s a plastic cover, but it goes over the whole phone. And you need to use adhesive to stick it on.
To be honest, I was a bit worried about what was going to happen to my iPhone when I took this review on.
The iPad’s official UK release date has been delayed, but that gives you a little extra time to weigh up the options regarding mobile data.
If you’re planning on getting an iPad 3G, then the networks have already revealed their pricing options on Apple’s UK website. I’ve collated these with all the options and notes and added Three’s MiFi mobile broadband into the mix. I’ve also worked out the Total Costs of Ownership for all that tasty mobile data, which I’ve put into one searchable, sortable table.
I’ve already reviewed the Proporta Soft Feel Silicon Case, and next up in my series of case reviews is the VOi! Lorem. I was quite impressed with the Proporta case, but this one is different – it’s a hard case with changeable front pieces.
Plus, it’s the only case Ive seen with an integrated lanyard in the back, to help you hold on to your iPhone.
Will it be enough tempt me away from the Proporta case?
I have a few iPhone cases to review, and I’m going to kick off with one from Proporta. I’ve always had a silicon case for my iPhones, as I have a tendency to drop them. I’ve reviously been using a cheap silicon case for my iPhone 3G from Carphone Warehouse, which I reviewed in an earlier article.
That case was a bargain at a tenner, whereas Proporta’s Soft Feel Silicon Case for iPhone 3G and 3GS is five pounds more.
So how does the pricier case compare?
Things are getting a bit sparse round here, so I’m going to get back to the reason I set this website up in the first place: blogging about iPhone things that I come across and find interesting or useful.
In that vein: Textie.
In “Welcome to fragmentation-land Apple“, Ben Smith of The Really Mobile Project has commented on a consequence of the iPhone OS 4.0 announcement. Ben points out that your favourite fruit-logo’d mobile maker will not be providing the oldest iPods and iPhones with the latest operating system. So for the first time we’ll have some iPhones running 3.x firmware, and some running the 4.x release. Oh, and don’t forget iPads will be thrown into the mix.
I want to have a look at this in more detail, and see what it means for both developers and users. Is fragmentation of the iPhone platform all that bad?
