As we buzzed down the highway last week, we thought of a couple restaurants we might want to
Apple has added the ability for an app to ‘upcharge’ inside of the application. The first thing everything thinks of is games, where you could buy levels as you move through the game.
Two apps that I have used the In-Application upcharge in a different way.
IDEO has an application called Method Cards – a electronic version of their deck of printed cards to help getting creative energies going on a project. IDEO’s application is downloaded for free, but contains only 8 of the full deck.
This gives the user a chance to play with the product for a while without installing a ‘lite’ free version then returning to the iTunes App store to buy the full version. In the case of the Method Cards app, all of the cards are installed but not viewable.
Two points to think of when thinking about your iPhone: The button on the top of the iPhone / Touch is a ‘sleep’ button – turning the screen off to avoid accidental launching applications – it does not ‘lock’ the device. And, these are not just phones with call records and a few photos snapped here and there – you have applications and the possibility of Personal Identifiable Information (PII) that could ruin your life if it falls into the wrong hands.
No would ever pick up your iPhone and look through it. You would never accidentally leave your iPhone on the counter where others could innocently take a look through it. Your iPhone is ALWAYS in your pocket or purse… and, bad things only happen to other people. Don’t play the odds game, be proactive to protect yourself.
The ability to use a four digit code to unlock and use your iPhone is built in. Typing in a couple numbers when you turn on your iPhone every time will only seem to take longer the first couple times. Protect those spreadsheets, personal text messages, private phone numbers and game high scores (had to throw that in, you don’t want your coworkers clearing your high scores do you?!).
Your iPhone is ringing, someone is calling you… do you answer or not?
When a call comes in, slide the on screen lock slider and your talking. But, if you do not want to talk now, you can click the ‘sleep’ button on the top of the iPhone to stop the ringing. If you tap the ‘sleep’ button twice quickly, the caller will be sent right to voice mail.
You can also stop the ringing by tapping the up or down volume button on the side of your iPhone. The flip switch just above the volume buttons is the ringer silence so no ringing in the middle of your meeting… or movie.
