NAIPS for iPhone
Thread Starter
Absolutely! I still use paper at work.
Successive versions of this will be free anyway, so don't be too concerned about price. People who pay initially will get free upgrades and always have the latest features. (plus get it first until the next edition comes out, which could be months after).

I'd hate to be the bearer of bad (or good) news, but with an Iphone you can open safari, go straight to the airservices pilot briefin website, log in and download whatever you wish to your screen. I use this all the time, I even use the BOM weather radars occasionally enroute If I need to.

I will stick with Shagpile on this one - iPhone Apps simplifies all above into a neat zippy little interface. Less load on CPU = better speed loading content to view
ps: There is a neat app called BOMRadar which simplifies having to load BOM radar pages via Safari too - go figure

Update - Added landscape viewing mode, and an update button.
Things are going well with Airservices, hopefully it will hit the streets sooner than later.

Nice work Shags, that's looking great.
Another issue with accessing NAIPS through Safari is that if you wish to reopen the page, it sometimes wants to update the page and logs you out.
Sooner rather than later sounds good mate!

I'm with optus and my signal drops above 2500 or just past cape shanck, some of the other boys at work are on telstra (not iphone) and can get signal nearly all the way over to king island. Optus sucks for enroute bom radar im sorry to say. Would be DAMN handy sometimes!

Great stuff Shagpile, the updated landscape viewing mode is tops, makes it just that little bit easier to use which is definitely appreciated. I take it Airservices aren't against the idea of releasing the app then?

Optus MMS
Has anyone Beta Testing had trouble with Optus MMS (or any other carrier) since installing the latest update??
It might just be coincidental but I am unable to send MMS (I can receive) but when I try to send it fails and I get the red exclamation marks to click and then try again.
Troubleshooting with Optus at the moment, I have removed all the adhoc provisioning and the Naips from both iPhone and iTunes and restored carrier settings and this has not solved my MMS issues so perhaps coincidental..........

Optus will be increasing their 3g coverage by the end of the year
Telstra nextG is 850mhz and the existing optus 3g signal you are getting is the shorter range 2100mhz in the city centres etc only.
Just waiting on AsA feedback which should be early next week (4th jul ish).
Sorry if I have to be vague but things are happening and as soon as I have a definitive result I'll post it up here with a more solid timeline.
A question for those iPhone users on the Telstra NextG network.
How do you find the coverage of the iPhone in remote/poor signal areas compared with other NextG handsets?
Sorry for the thread drift.

Nav, we went through this today with iPhone versus STD type Nokia model. Found that iPhone was frequently saying network was lost but nokia has some if not full service, however when we tried to call on nokia the call would not go through. In summary we decided that the iPhone reception indicators were more truthful. Trip was a good test from lake eyre to Melbourne.

Yeah this is getting off topic, but phone companies can insert their own code into phones to manipulate the battery and reception indicators. Research has shown that people are more likely to make a call if they think they have more battery left, hence the reason it stays at full then suddenly appears empty.
They are worse at doing this in the US, but the default settings are still bad.
Expect a yes/no from AsA either today or tomorrow. (expecting yes).

Received permission from AsA today, and will post onto apple store ASAP.
It usually takes a few weeks for Apple to test and approve apps though.

Give yourself a well deserved pat on the back for your time & effort!
Thanks Again Shags!
Congratulations mate.
Still waiting on my iphone, but I guarantee it will be the first app I download.
Now, time to start working on a BOM radar image with GPS overlay of present position!!!
(It's been done with Google Earth!)

Well done shags! good news...
I'm having issues with the app on my phone since i installed OS 3.0.
When i try to install through itunes it pops up an error saying can't install.. yes i have unzipped the files. I have tried deleting mobile provisioning on the phone and trying again but no joy. It was working before the update. Any ideas?
