Is there a way to post a picture using the iPhone? If so I need step by step instructions. I am not very good with this phone yet. Bryan

Life is not measured by the number of breaths you take but by the times that take your breath away
Not that I know of... The problem is you cannot navigate to the image files on the phone from the upload interface on the website.

The Great Depression, like most other periods of severe unemployment, was produced by government mismanagement rather than by any inherent instability of the private economy.

I've been playing around with this kind of stuff for a while. It's pretty easy on the droids, but I would like to have upload widgets for both the Ipod/pad and android powered phones so you send them right to your gallery. Stay tuned.

The iPhone works great for all things on this site until you try to upload pics. The "choose file" prompt is not active from the phone. That's a site issue. Uploading pics from the iPhone to Facebook is a snap.
I spent two happy years with an iPhone 3G and now I have a new 4. I'm very pleased! Way faster at everything but wow, the new camera is great!

Stewart, the reason standard uploads to websites does not work on the iPhone is because they chose not to allow that very standard browser feature on the iphone/ipad/touch, etc. The droid phones allow the standard feature. It is disabled on the ipad, thus requires a special application like you use for facebook. This forces one to write an "app" for that...Originally Posted by StewartB

I wasn't complaining. Transferring pics from my phone to the computer for uploading is easy enough.
Stewart
I was complaining... it's just nuts for them to leave the file upload feature out. Can't think of a good reason why they would!

How long till you switch SC.org to the shortwing BB software?
Maybe I will see if I can make one. Unless you are about to changeover..
Mike,
Don't do anything yet! I have four or five sites I will use it on and there is some development that is going on right now in that regards that I am watching to see if somebody else re-invents the wheel first.
I've done some work towards doing it on the droid, but will want to cover both bases.
Thanks!

P.S. Hopefully this fall on the switch - but the photo uploads would go to the gallery software - maybe....

I am glad you are happy with the iPhone, Stewart, and it is good to hear from you
I am a Verizon user, cannot switch to ATT, hence will need to use droid type phone, I think. I have ordered a Droid X. Anyone have experience with this? Steve, aren't you a droid user???

Uploading pictures from my phone to an internet forum is not a top priority for me. Perhaps that's true for the Apple guys as well? Taking videos from the phone and emailing them instantly is pretty darned cool. My kid gets to see all the big moments, like my niece riding a bike without training wheels, the dog chasing moose in the yard, etc, etc. No iPhone regrets here.
Stewart
Actually, the feature they TOOK out is way more basic than internet forums, it is the ability to upload any file to any website / forum without having special software from that site. It's basic to all internet browsers - including Safari on the Mac, they just took it out of the iPhone. It effects WAY more than just internet forums.

How did we get through those dark times before internet and smart phones?
SB
I have turned into one of those annoying people I used to laugh at... Gadgets at camp site, trying to figure out a way to keep everyone charged....How did we get through those dark times before internet and smart phones?
SB
Gadgets have some merit. I took the phone out hunting so I'd have a camera. Saturday was dark and rainy so i hunted the woods. Even in familiar territory when I took a shortcut and got turned around. An hour walk in a straight line landed me right where I had started. I don't care who you are being turned around is a bad feeling. The iPhone compass turned out to be a welcome tool. That thing was spot on from the very second I turned it on. No orientation necessary. That was worth the weight to carry it! As it turned out? The compass told me to walk exactly 180* opposite to what I thought was the correct path. Dark skies and mountain obscuration played tricks on my sense of direction. Cool phone.
On another note? The phone's GPS works but isn't much help when I can't read the screen without the glasses that I left in the boat.

I was marking where I parked my car at state fair..... Much less hassle... Fun watching the others wander with that look of where did they park it......

Many neat logging apps out there. I got one called logster works good for marking out trails with pictures and such.....
The best app I have found is foreflight. It has xm weather moving map, and winds aloft I can file a flight plan and so much more. I wish I had this iphone along time ago.

One of the best features on Garmin and others is the terrain page. Do any of the apps have that?
There are some 3d topo map apps? That what you mean...
I have an app called Topo Maps that has every topo map I can imagine and can swap to a Google Earth view instantly. I wasn't sure whether it would keep the maps in memory or not so I also bought Offline Topo Maps that specifically will cache downloaded maps. I probably have redundant apps but they're cheap enough I won't lose any sleep. I can expand the screens but the function buttons aren't intuitive for me yet, at least not like a Garmin. Reading glasses are a must for these apps for me. Topo Maps allows me to toggle between topo map and satellite view. It has a great distance measurement tool, too, but in straight line. Offline Topo is only topo that I can figure out, but I have much to discover, I'm sure. Both have GPS location, tracking, etc.
The app store is already too big to look at everything available. If anybody has good map/tracking apps please mention them.
Stewart
Maybe I should have said "terrain avoidance" map. Garmin has a red-yellow-black screen showing safe/unsafe terrain ahead. I was wondering if the smart phones had such an app.
Here's an interesting view from my iPhone cockpit cam.

That's wild.....
You just assume every thisng scans horizontally like a tv has done for decades...
