Tech Torture with Topher, Day 3

Spent 10 Days in China with NO phone or computer, the world still turned

I love my Iphone, but yes, it needs to accept flash based sites!
Also, try a jampack that attaches to the phone and gives it much longer battery life.
Just wait, Topher, the key to the iphone is that Apple easily uploads fixes and new features without having to get a new phone!

Should have gotten a BlackBerry, or a Windows Phone you can change out batteries in a BlackBerry and Most windows Phones but an Iphone battery is fixed.
Flash may be a bit of a problem on a BlackBerry and a Windows phone as well but you can always download a 3rd party browser and watch your flash on that.
Also with Excel you can use that pretty well on a Windows mobile device, with a BlackBerry you can use Doc's to Go.

If battery life is a problem for you, you should get a power monkey, it's a portable charger that adapts to any mobile device. Usually good for a few charges.

And I thought Guantanamo Bay was morally wrong, but this... this just isn't fair!

You couldn't communicate for a whole hour?! Oh my god! What did you do? I can't even finish watching this clip. I thought it was going to be something mildly interesting. Why does everyone feel the constant need to be 'connected?' I'm a 29 year old tech savy guy, but it's pretty clear to me each time I go out and see people spending more time facebooking, twittering and Googling than paying attention to their companions, that we are NOT more connected.

What are the Flashplayer issues. I use Ubuntu Linux with SeaMonkey as my main browser and have had to jump thru hoops to get Flashplayer sites to work. Is this something that affects a wide range of connection devices?

I love my Iphone but its inability to view flash embedded sites is a bother. Not enough of one though, to go back to any other type of phone. If I was not already married, I think I would marry my iphone!!!!!
It is a phone and so much more......

Yes, I know I am a electronics junkie. We all have our vices

flash should never come to the iphone. it'd totally kill the app store cash cow.

Iphone would be more enjoyable with a flashplayer embedded in its browser. Smartphone vendors better start equiping their device browser with flash and video player.What's a website without a flash player?

As part of your experiment, you should try jailbreaking your iPhone. You'll get Flash capability and a bunch of other tools that you couldn't get on standard firmware. It makes your phone much more productive.

I don't understand what you mean by saying you have "no way to recharge or change the battery when I’m away from my hotel room or don’t have my bag with me." There are more than a couple extended batteries out there for the iPhone, and some that double as cases for the phone. There are also a number of adapters to let you charge the phone in a lighter outlet or a wall outlet... in fact a wall outlet / usb converter comes in the box with the phone.

Please continue to post your videos. It is interesting to see how easy or difficult it is to unplug, even a little. I am considering dropping my smartphone service because I hate paying so much each month. However, I also use it, not just to talk, but for scheduling, internet access, notes, and spreadsheets. To get rid of these features is about as scary as cutting up a credit card – which I finally did a few years ago.

Topher, you have a Palm Pre at your disposal? I am curious to here how it holds up, and if San Jose has Sprint's 4G network establish and how it performs in comparison to anybody's 3G.

I forget who on here called the app store a cash cow... but did you know that they spend more money keeping it running then they take in for it? The developers get most of the profit.

Gotta love my verizon phone i've heard bad things about the iphone like you can't get all your txt messages.( true story) ALso true about the battery not removable . It also drops your calls well att is known for that anyway. SOrry people who bought the iphone

Yeah, I feel terrible I have this fantastic phone with, what, only 60,000 apps, the vast majority available for a buck or free...
Yeah, that's what breaks my heart. LOL

Is cnn getting paid for this? because if so I'll whore myself out for a Iphone too.

I have to say, the T-Mobile Data was REALLY Slow the entire time I was in San Jose

. Your favorite jitcifisatuon appeared to be on the web the simplest thing to be aware of. I say to you, I certainly get annoyed while people think about worries that they just don't know about. You managed to hit the nail upon the top and also defined out the whole thing without having side-effects , people can take a signal. Will probably be back to get more. Thanks
