The Next iPhone

A lot has been said (and speculated) about the screen size of the next generation iPhone. I would like to share my thoughts on the subject.

The overall device will not get wider, thicker, or taller. However the screen size will be bumped to right at 4 inches. Contrary to what some may think, the extra screen real estate will not be used to increase the current 960 x 640 currently available to app developers. That will stay the same for the sake of developer sanity. No, the extra screen real estate will be used for some amazing new UI enhancements and new interface controls.

Here is what I'm getting at:

My Formulated Process for App Organization

There are tons of great apps in the App Store. So it's no wonder that many of us face the problem of cluttered home screens filled with apps we haven't used in some time. Our organization process over time loses it's structure and we find ourselves eventually just getting frustrated and annoyed. Sure we could use Spotlight to find the app we are looking for, but with hundreds of apps, we often forget the name of the app we are looking for and it could actually be found easier if we could just locate that darn icon we are so familiar with. But which folder did I put it in? And which page was it on? Did I file it under reference or utility? Entertainment or Media? Documents or Productivity? 

There has to be a method to this madness. Well with my recent purchase of a (2nd) iPhone 4S, I decided I would really try to get a handle on the situation. If you need help in this area, just follow the steps below.

Buh Bye Unlimited, Hello Tethering

I did something today I thought I would never do. I gave up my unlimited iPhone data plan for the 5GB WiFi tethering plan. No, I wasn't forced by the now famous AT&T strong-arm tactic of throttling data speeds for people who reach or surpass the 2GB data use limit. From what I understand, those "limits" are subject to regional use patterns and can vary greatly from region to region. I suspect those limits might be a bit higher in NYC as I have never received the dreaded throttling email and I consistently use at least 2-4GB on a monthly basis.
