Riding roller coasters was never one of my favorite past times as a kid. But, sometime in my late teens or early twenties I got into riding the highest coasters I could find. Rollercoaster Extreme for the iPhone by Dare Digital is a very nice FREE game. Yea, it is FREE, but if you look [...]

AT&T, Apple sued over iPhone 4 antenna issue
July 1st, 2010 | No Comments »Filed under: iPhone
This just in from the Whopping & Unexpected Surprises Department: in response to the iPhone 4′s apparent reception problems, a pair of Maryland residents filed suit in Maryland federal court on Wednesday. They claim that Apple and AT&T knowingly sold phones with a defective antenna design.
The suit focuses on dropped calls and poor data performance, of course. Specifically it says that “Plaintiffs have experienced numerous dropped calls, and as a result, Plaintiffs are left with a device that cannot be used for the normal purpose and in the normal manner in which such devices are intended to be used.” The suit also mentions that the couple cannot return their phones (they bought four) without incurring large penalties.
Their backing evidence includes their own experience, of course, but also a list of related stories published on sites like Gizmodo and Boy Genius Report. We don’t yet know if “stuff we saw on the web” will hold up in court.
It feels like this lawsuit was inevitable, as many are unhappy after paying for something that they feel cannot reliably perform its main function. We’ll follow this story and let you know how it goes. You can read the full legal filing at All Things D.

Why not all iOS 4 compatible app are “awesome”
July 1st, 2010 | No Comments »
Not all app in Apple’s growing “awesome iOS 4 apps” list are “awesome” — at least not in their implementation of iOS 4 or for iPhone 4.
We touched on this already in our iPhone 4 review — in iOS 4, Apple has set up several types of behavior that, when taken together, create the multitasking [...]

Make your own iPhone 4 case from a souvenir bracelet
July 1st, 2010 | No Comments »Filed under: iPhone
If your touch is like a Vulcan Nerve Pinch to the iPhone 4′s wireless signal, you’ve got three choices: hold it differently, spend US $30 on a Bumper, or take a pair of scissors to a Livestrong bracelet.
The iPhone Guru discovered that the bracelets fit perfectly around the body of the iPhone 4. After using a pair of scissors to cut holes for the dock connector, the silent mode toggle, and the headphone jack, the band was slipped onto the phone and ready to go. The iPhone Guru reports that reception is “much improved” with the band in place.
At 10 for $10, they’re much cheaper than Apple’s Bumpers, and your purchase supports cancer research to boot. Of course, any instance of this type of rubber wristband will probably work. Alternatively, check out these decals on Etsy — three 3-packs for $9!
Live strong, iPhone 4. Live strong!
Thanks to everyone who sent this in

News: Apple, AT&T sued over iPhone 4 reception issue
July 1st, 2010 | No Comments »A class action lawsuit has been filed against Apple and AT&T over the iPhone 4’s cellular reception issues.

Want to upload 720p movies from iPhone 4? Try Pixelpipe
July 1st, 2010 | No Comments »Filed under: iPhone
If you were disappointed that you can’t upload full 720p video from your iPhone 4 to YouTube without transferring it to a computer first, then check out the latest update to the free app Pixelpipe.
While there has been some speculation over whether app developers would be able to access the full-resolution videos for sharing, commenters were quick to assure us there was no reason to worry. Pixelpipe claims that it will share your edited mobile masterpiece in all its splendor not only with YouTube but also to Flickr, Facebook, MobileMe, Viddler, Posterous and a bunch of other video-capable sites (as well email and FTP) for videos up to 200MB.
The update to 2.01 is also quick to add iOS 4.0 multitasking for background uploading and should continue to serve as a semi-ubiquitous multi-tool for getting our videos (and pictures) uploaded almost anywhere you want them to go. We mentioned Pixelpipe previously around the time of the 3GS launch last year; it seems to have come a long way since then.
It is worth noting that some users seem to be experiencing some instability with the app that will hopefully get ironed out quickly. If you are having trouble with it, keep your eyes peeled for other developers to follow up with alternatives now that we know 720p uploading is possible.
Update: Reader Aaron notes that SmugShot is also 720p-upload enabled.
