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.

Waiting for Telecom New Zealand's action on Broadband Acccount (Auckland, New Zealand

26th October, 2010 -- Just talked to Mr. S N of Telecom New Zealand Broadband customer service. He is one of best customer service front liner we have came across so far.

We are wondering why our broadband was changed to dial-up speed yesterday with any person from Telecom informing us nor calling us to inform us.

The most important part is that we never give any verbal or written consent for them to change our data plan.

There might be a miscommunication on their part, so we will see what happen next.

Every Noka E71 owner will kill for this (David Lim, Auckland, New Zealand, NZ)

Ever since I started this blog I haven't had much access to a Windows computer. My hard drive crashed and I had to use Linux Ubuntu for almost half a year. All the PC applications that Nokia makes only work on Windows or Mac, no love for Linux. So I really haven't been able to try out some of the cool features like Files On Ovi.

What Is Files On Ovi?

Basically it allows you to access files on your computer directly on your Nokia E71 when your away from home (or work, if your company allows it). You have to install a "connector" on your computer, and as of right now it's only compatible with Windows. According to Nokia,

With Files, you use your mobile phone to view, download and send the photos, documents and files stored on your personal computer, anytime, anywhere. You can also use any other Internet-connected computer to access your computer's files.

Great thing is you can also use this to view your computers files from any other computer with a data connection, not just your E71.

By far, this is the best took that helps me to supercharge my GDI online marketing business and had help to improve my long term income!

Right now you can access your files for free if your computer is on and connected to the internet. But if you want to be able to access your files even if your computer is off or disconnected from the internet, you can sign up for a pay-based subscription and have 10gb's of storage. You can try that and get 60 days free.

The other day I tested this service while at work. I was missing a song I recently added to my computer and wanted to hear it on my E71. Remembering that I left my computer on at home, I was able to view my files. Check out the sceenshots below. You'll notice my new Windows computer is called "The Monstor", going along with my 22 inch monitor that I'm loving right now.



Music Files On My Computer


Download Entire Folders At A Time




I downloaded that entire folder and calculated the transfer time at around 22 minutes - not bad at all for 43.9 megabytes. I've decide this should be a "must have" tool on everyone's E71. I've already used it multiple times to pull off excel and word documents from my computer when out and about.

To login you must have a "Nokia Account", which is the same one you use to login to Ovi Calendar & Contacts. This is not the same account as your Share On Ovi account.

Do you live in Singapore, Malaysia, Thailand, or Australia? If so, you can join the Files On Ovi campaign for S60 Ambassadors. Talk about the service with your friends, family, co-workers, etc and just go back to your S60 account and write up a quick report of each interaction. The more reports you write the more points you get. If your in the Top 50 list for submitted reports you get prizes (bluetooth goodies).
