  1. Hi, I've got a set available here: viewtopic.php?f=32&t=65482 Adrian
  2. Just a dream for now, but will keep an eye on ebay and US forums...
  3. God made heaveans and earth, everything else is MADE IN CHINA Stick a logo on it and sell it for 10x the manufacturing cost...
  4. You realise that's just a 1A USB port? It's the same as this except it has the words "Apple iPhone 5" in the title and costs 1.5 times as much: http://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/BELKIN-12V-DC ... 2740994%26 Of course I do, but both of my Belkins died within 6 months... One in the Freelander, one in the Zed
  5. I got this for the car: http://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/140852740994
  6. Use iCloud, no need sending photos to iPad, it's shown in PhotoStream on all Apple devices

  8. iPhone 5 Performance Benchmarks Detailed: It’s The Fastest Smartphone Available Today The first drop tests have already compared the iPhone 5 against the Galaxy S III, and have shown that Apple has superior build quality which can withstand multiple falls without too much problem, but what about the technical and overall performance of the iPhone 5 during everyday use? The guys over at AnandTech ran some comprehensive tests on the new iPhone to determine the levels of performance that it provides, utilizing tests such as the Geekbench as well as SunSpider and BrowserMark analysis. A number of Geekbench reports produced differing results on the iPhone 5′s CPU clock speed, depending on whether or not the processor was under load at the time or just lying dormant. Initial tests show the A6 processor in the device idling at 800MHz with that clock speed rising to 1.2GHz when under duress. In this instance, the load being applied to the CPU was provided by an app being downloaded in the background when the tests were running. The fluctuation in clock speeds depending on the state of the processor seem to negate earlier assumptions that the dual-core A6 processor ran at a consistent 1GHz clock speed. We have already seen a number of SunSpider reports being thrown around before the iPhone 5 even hit the shelves, with the results showing the lightning fast speed of the Safari browser. My own personal comparisons between the iPhone 5 and 4S showed that the iPhone 5 performed over two times better than the 4S on the same tests. The nearest competitor in the BrowserMark test was the international Samsung Galaxy S III, with the iPhone 5 returning a score 191726 compared to the Galaxy’s 172237. Apple’s previous model, the iPhone 4S, didn’t fare too well with a score of 106029 while running the latest iOS 6 firmware. The additional tests ran by the team seem to confirm that Apple’s claim of 2X processor performance increase over the iPhone 4S are pretty accurate, with the results showing that the new A6 included with the iPhone 5 has similar performance to that of the iPad 3. The performance review of the new iPhone 5 will no doubt continue in greater detail, but at the minute it looks like Apple has done a wonderful job of smoking the competition out of the water.
  9. Tap Camera, tap Options, tap Panorama...
  10. NNNOOOOOOOO, don't do it, nicest wheels on 350z ever!!!
  11. Check the deals on 3 - www.three.co.uk
  12. Got mine as well, first impressions: - like the feeling, touching, holding, much better than the glass back on i4s - fast and smooth - scratches really easy, scratched the SIM tray when trying to get it out, was like soldered! - lighter, some how feels better built, it's more like a i4s mark 2

  16. “Apple co-founder Steve Wozniak, in town for a business forum, was among a crowd of several hundred lining up for an iPhone 5 in sub-tropical Brisbane,†Wardell and Kelly report. “‘I just feel this impulse, like I want to be part of this big adventure, this big revolution and this advance in technology,’ Wozniak, who stopped working for Apple in the late 1980s, told local television.†Details here: http://www.reuters.com/article/2012/09/ ...

  17. After the original announcement of the iPhone 5, one early concern amongst readers was how well the anodized aluminum back and edges of the black iPhone 5 would hold up over time. One lengthy thread on our forums has been actively discussing the potential issue and Pocket-Lint in their review did note some wear around the edges after some early usage. Ditching the glass back and reducing the thickness of the glass panel on the front has affected the design of the metal band around the edge of the iPhone. It is now chamfered and while that looks pretty, we've already noticed that on the black model the edge has started to wear, revealing the shiny silver aluminium metal underneath the "slate" coloured coating and, indeed, we've witnessed it on two separate models, ruling out a fluke manufacturing error. One person on another forum got straight to the matter and took keys and a SIM card tray pin to the back and edges of an in-store iPhone 5 unit with these results. Of course, purposefully scratching a device is a bit extreme, but daily usage of any phone will generate some wear and tear. This may be a concern if you are particularly sensitive to the issue.

  18. Thought these could be interesting for people buying the DBA rotors:
  19. No need to backup and restore if you're been using iOS 5 with iCloud. Just plug the nanosim in the new iPhone 5, log in with apple ID, chose restore from iCloud, wait few minutes, all your data will be migrated OTA in your new device.
