How is the screen???

badgoodDeb · 06-23-2010, 03:55 PM

Yummy! It seems denser than before, but I'm not an expert at testing or seeing little differences. It certainly runs my apps faster!

Here's a pic. Apparently, the iMac camera takes a mirror image picture (like the left). You can't read the text! If I turn on effects "mirror" it will add in the image at the right, so things look a little normal. (never used my iMac's camera before)

Pic shows the "folderizing" in iOS 4, too. The two black images with little
blocks inside them. I love this new capability!

Ok, now I want one

badgoodDeb · 06-23-2010, 04:00 PM

Here's a pic of the folderizing in use. (Of course, this worked on my iPhone 3G yesterday, too ... before I obsoleted it and replace it with the iPhone 4). It comes with iOS 4, which was just released.

White iPhones have been delayed til mid-July..grrrrr...

steph_g · 06-23-2010, 09:47 PM

David Pogue said in his review:

"Those over 40 can now bump up the type size for e-mail, notes, text messages and address book entries."

I upgraded my 3GS to iOS 4, but I don't see anywhere to do this. Does it only apply to iPhone 4? Anyone know anything about this? I wouldn't mind a larger font for MMS.

scottjl · 06-23-2010, 10:02 PM

hmm.. email's always had this ability. but i don't see anywhere to change it in notes, text messages or the address book either. at least not on my iOS 4, 3gs. maybe in the iPhone 4.

steph_g · 06-23-2010, 10:11 PM

How do you change the size in Mail? I didn't know you could do that? Just curious. Thanks!

Would you new owners mind holding the top left corner as in video in https://www.mobileread.com/forums/sho...045#post976045 ?

If you lose signal... err...

steph_g · 06-24-2010, 03:12 AM

The way to change text size is in settings/general/accessibility in case anyone else is interested. (I wrote to David Pogue and asked him how to do it. He wrote back within a couple of hours with the info. How cool is that?!)
