Turn Your iPhone Into An RC Remote With The iPhly (www.drmobiles.co.nz) iPhone 4 Repair

It works the same on an iPod touch too. Called the iPhly and created by an RC enthusiast app developer, the iPhly is an app/gadget system that works like a universal remote for RC airplanes. Once the app is purchased from iTunes, attach the iPhone on a specially molded dock that transmits the control signals to the aircraft. Apparently it can also be used for RC trucks.

Here’s a good chunk of explanatory text from the product page:

You can use one transmitter for all your models. Even low-end iPhones come with 8Gb of storage. I find it humorous that in 2011 some transmitters cost hunderds of dollars and come with only Kilobytes! Some of them limit you to 20 or 30 models.

iPhly lets you store thousands of models (including mutiple variants of the same model for testing settings). You can use the integral camera on iPhone to photograph your models and store the pictures as part of the model profile. You can use the on-screen keyboard to give your models long, desriptive names. No more scrolling through the entire alphabet to pick out letters on a 7-segment display. iPhly lets you use your iPhone’s beautiful, high-resolution, full-color touch screen for configuring your models.

The iPhly package costs  $134.99 while simply buying the case sets you back $99. Not bad for all the fun it entails.

Apple iPhone 2G (1st Generation) and 3G (2nd Generation) Compared (Repair, Unlock, Jailbreak, Auckland)

Whether you love or hate Apple, you must admit that the iPhone revolutionized cell phones as we know them today. Before the 1st generation iPhone hit the market, the top selling phone for the past three years was the Motorola RAZR. However, not too long ago, the iPhone and Apple enjoyed monumental achievement by becoming the best selling phone in the third-quarter of 2008. It’s been almost two years since the release of the original iPhone, and only a few months

ago Apple released the iPhone 3G. Both phones are still missing some basic features, but there has been an improvement in the latter version. In this article, we will cover the differences between the iPhone 2G (or first generation) iPhone and it’s newer counterpart, the iPhone 3G.

Design and Dimensions

Even though there aren’t too many differences in the exterior of the models, we are going to point them out before we get to the hardware. The screen size is exactly the same at 3.5" on both models, which provides for an ultra-clear 480×320 screen resolution. The rear of the original iPhone has a smooth metal finish with a black strip at the bottom. The front of it has a shiny metal piece that surrounds the side of the phone and ends behind the screen. The iPhone 3G has a smooth piano black or white finish. It also has the shiny metal piece around the outside of the screen. The iPhone 3G features buttons that are made from a shiny metal, excluding the home button. This gives them a sturdier feel compared to its predecessor. The shape of the 3G phone is a major difference as the original iPhone is a little thicker and completely flat when set down. The 3G has more of a round feel to it that flattens out slightly around the edges. It has been said that the screen of the 3G heats to a warmer temperature than that of the original iPhone.

Features & Technical Specifications

Once we get under the hood, we begin to see where the 3G separates itself from it’s older brother. The iPhone 2G only supported WiFi, GSM, and Bluetooth. This means its speed surfing the Internet were quite limited. The iPhone 3G introduced 3G speeds to Apple’s flagship model, and it also supports WiFi, GSM, and Bluetooth. This makes for a better experience surfing, watching Youtube videos, and downloading data onto the phone from the Internet. The first generation iPhone supported the following frequencies: GSM and Quad-Band (850, 900, 1800, 1900 MHz). The iPhone 3G supports all of those frequencies, but added to the list quite a few more to enable running at 3G speeds, including UMTS/HSDPA (850, 1900, 2100 MHz). The iPhone 3G also supports GPS, which was not included in the original iPhone.

Both phones have a 2MP camera, but do not feature a video recorder. The iPhone 3G weighs 4.7 ounces compared to the 2G’s weight of 4.8 ounces (not a notable difference). The only downside to 3G capabilities is that it eats into battery life. The iPhone 2G beats out the newer version in that regard by providing up to 8 hours of talk-time compared to 5 hours with the 3G.

Bottom Line

Comparing two great phones is always hard, but Apple made a great move by creating the 3G iPhone. The iPhone 2G is impressive, but with the features the 3G provides and the transition with new phones all moving to 3G, it’s a definite requirement if Apple wants to maintain its new status as the #1 selling phone in the US.
