Google's official Map App for iPhone is out!

Re: Google's official Map App for iPhone is out!

I was going overboard there, I guess a 64GB is $400, but I don't want to spend that much on a phone really. I use it to text 99% of the time, talk here and there, and for maps. That is most of my usage. Games and web surfing here and there but not really.

Yea then 16 gb is plenty. Plus with Apple's Cloud services for $20/Year which lets you upload 20,000 songs, as long as you don't fly overseas and miss your music too much, it's plenty to constantly stream your toonz from the cloud. Moreover, being on WiFi all the time at work and home, you'll barely put a dent in your Monthly allocated BW.

I am looking forward to the iPhone 5S though.

My contract isn't due up until Nov so I might just have enough time for the iPhone 6 as well. I can't believe how difficult it's become just having to buy a damn Cell phone these days.

Actually I just got whatever the cheapest model is. Looks like it is 8GB.

Can you upload music to iCloud if you upgrade from the basic 5GB plan? If I could up load a bunch of music and easily make it syncable to my laptops ipad and phone that would be totally worth it. Right now the only thing I can sync music wise is the few things I've bought from iTunes.

I dont think the iPhone 5 comes in 8 GB, it's only 16, 32 and 64.

Not iCloud, it's iTunes Match. Open Settings > iTunes and App Stores and then turn on iTunes Match. It's $25/Year for music uploads.

Re: Google's official Map App for iPhone is out!

I'm screwed then, it says there is 8.7GB total on my phone

Oh yeah I might debate about doing itunes match I will see. I've just been using Spotify all of the time which will sync music to my phone really easily. The other thing is it says it will upload tunes which aren't in their library. I'm not sure about that since I have 200GB of dj sets which I know for sure aren't in their db and don't want to waste bandwith on that. I'm not sure what it would be doing with all of those tunes. Will it upload every dj set I have and make it available in itunes to my devices too?

Also it only matches up to like 25k songs total which is lame.

Re: Google's official Map App for iPhone is out!

I know. I haven't really been keeping up with the latest apple/itunes/icloud/iphone news so I just said I want the smallest iphone 5 you gots.

I've just spent the last couple of days dicking with getting all of my apps back on my phone and logins typed back in. Plus getting my contacts synced everywhere from my personal account and getting my work calendars etc working too.

iCloud syncing is very nice too. Before switching from my iPhone 4 to 5, I turned on iCloud backup on the 4, registered Apple ID on the 5, and got everything synced back automatically, some apps like Instagram didn't even require me to set up login again.

Re: Google's official Map App for iPhone is out!

I need to get a new ipad already, im outta space. Plus I guess I have one rev back already the newer ones have the new connector. Damnit i just bought this thing.

Re: Google's official Map App for iPhone is out!

The new connector is certainly a hassle. Looked at getting a spare cable, 19 bucks, wtf!

(And I've managed to hold off on iPads. I have a Macbook Air and Apple TV 3 at home but no iPads My Kindle 3 is working very well for my reading.)

Re: Google's official Map App for iPhone is out!

Check out amazon, it looks like you can get a generic one for just a few bucks. I like the new connector as it works on either side and you don't have to worry about it facing the right way up to plugin.
