Hey guys – sorry hardly been looking after this blog.
I’ve set up this one to focus on iOS devices and software, not only iPhones – I will be carrying over the same guidelines I did on this blog, however focused on iOS itself.
Have a look!

Its iOS 5 onwards but more than happy to support anyone with issues with older iOS software.
iPad2 features and predictions based on Apple historical events and logical sense rather than ‘been reported by a trusted source’.
Have a read on my other blog:
so exams finished, another year gone by and now a few months of freedom although…
work starts on blogs now!
what to expect
* completely different approach to iOS thoughts that I have collected over the year after many readings but never got round to blogging about
* realistic thought on Apple’s future with their gadgets and iOS
* news/verdicts/opinions on iOS updates
* iOS relevance to new zealand
* iOS on NZ 3G networks

Well, I got the 3GS and well.. i’m a victim of the speculated low battery life with OS 3.0
It just does NOT last!
anyway, from playing around with it a bit i’ve noticed the battery meter fluctuates between 98% and 100% while charging.
The only thing I can conclude from this is that the battery is not draining as fast but Apple have mucked around with the battery meter and it’s giving a false indication of the true battery remaining.
i.e. the battery meter will show you have 5% remaining, and hence shut down the phone when you might have really 50% or more battery remaining.

Want one?
Well Vodafone had a promotion earlier offering a ‘Free Docking Station’ . Anyway, ever since the 3GS came out, they pulled out that promtion. Reasons unkown.
So I call the CSR and hey! they are still offering it customers who ask for it !
Call 0800 837 867 – and just mention the free docking station offer, give them your order number, and vola! they should mail one out to you.
Bare in mind I don’t expect this offer to last any further than Friday this week so be in quick !
If you guys have been waiting to order the 3GS and have faced the ‘out of order’ notice, orders are now been taken! so get in quick !
