Since updating my iPhone 3G to iOS 4 it won’t connect to my Pioneer DEH-P4100SD car stereo. Or to be exact it works about every 15 attempts, other times it shows a backslash in the Pioneer’s display or it goes for the full ERROR. What did Apple do this time that they don’t normally do? Or was it what didn’t they do this time? Could it be as simple as extensive testing before launch? Is this Apple under pressure from Google?
I await the first patches eagerly. We certainly need them. Then I will make the decision on the iPhone 4.
I’m now wishing I hadn’t upgraded my iPhone to iOS 4. It is now seriously slow. Even with the new profile from Apple to fix the Exchange bugs it’s seriously slow. Anybody else think that iOS 4 was released before they had finished it?
Or is it Apple’s way of saying time to upgrade maybe?
With Android phones improving so much and looking so good, it probably isn’t the time for Apple to drop the ball. And that statement about the signal strength ‘error’. Do they really think us customers are that stupid.
I have no doubt that Apple will fix the software bugs and I will buy a suitable case to stop the antenna problem when I buy an iPhone 4. I also have no doubt that by the time the contact for that phone is up, Apple will have lost the lead on phones.
More when I buy the new phone.
I’ve wasted hours trying to get SqueezeServer running well under Ubuntu 10.04 and then Fedora 13. I thought I was doing well as I followed the instructions and installed the Spotify plugin and with the addition of Wine it worked brilliantly under Ubuntu.
But, and there is a big but, I could not get either operating system to let me access my NAS drive – or indeed any network drive. I’ve Googled and tried all sorts of Samba type things but I remain stored music less. So internet radio works, Spotify works but I can’t access any stored music.
So the time has come to give up on such stupid ideas of running a third operating system (or fourth if you include Server 2003) here and the ‘Squeezebox’ PC has reverted to Win7.
At least I tried…
One more thing, I didn’t actually do any serious listening while running under Ubunto but I’m convinced BBC radio – the iPlayer streams – didn’t sound as good. Weird.
I lost count of the updates to WordPress, the Theme and the Plugins yesterday. There were certainly quite a few. It’s all working but some of the design elements don’t seem to be working quite as well as before. Drop down menus are ragged as an example. More work to do when there is time.
Now I’m off to try to get hosted Exchange working. It might be a bit more practical than a SBS2003 to SBS2008 change which basically is a full reinstall.

Home Technology Event 2010 ExCeL London 15 June. NaimNet today announces a preview of their new, fully customisable, iPad app.
One unique feature of the NaimNet iPad app is that, as an example using simple HTML5 code, a plan of the home can be developed and illustrated. Rather than a room listing as a starting point for the control functions, most people would find a plan view far more intuitive.
