Eu não sei sobre qualquer um mais, mas muita de minha correia fotorreceptora do iPhone que surfing acontece durante para baixo - o tempo: quando eu lounging no couch ou no assoalho do quarto da família, ou antes que eu for dormir na noite. Às vezes eu estou sentando-me acima, mas eu inclino-me ocasionalmente ao lado, e agora e então I mesmogasp- encontre-se para baixo.
Qual apresenta um problema pequeno: Quando eu me encontro para baixo, minha cabeça e o iPhone ambos mudam sua orientação por aproximadamente 90 graus. The iPhone takes this as a cue to automatically rotate the Safari window back to vertical; meus olhos, sadly, não têm tal característica. Pessoa horizontal + página vertical = leitura inábil.
Meu workaround foi girar preferivelmente o iPhone apenas distante o suficiente dobre horizontalmente que automóvel-não gira, e então minha cabeça acima distante o suficiente que a janela do Safari está alinhada aproximadamente com meu campo de vista. Trabalha, mas a solução ideal seria uma opção para incapacitar temporariamente o se não-acessível automóvel-gira a característica.
Com a mágica de Twitter, A pimenta de Chris apontou-me a a workaround quase-como-bom:
O outro dia eu estava encontrando-me em meu lado, tentando ler um Web page no iPhone. Eu girei o iPhone 90° no sentido horário, mas re-girou amàvelmente o texto 90° anti-horário, deixando me outra vez fora da sincronização. Eu grumbled algo sobre a irritação de outmaneuvered por um dispositivo handheld. Sugestão brilhante do Amy: gire-o um outro CCW 90°. Desde que o iPhone não oferece a rotação 180°, esta esquerda o texto girou 90° no alighnment com minha cabeça.
É direito: O Safari gira os primeiros 90 graus, mas não os segundos, deixando a janela do Safari na posição perfeita para ler na cama. Uma ponta simples, mas uma que melhorará immeasurably meu night-time NewsGator browsing.

It was really only a matter of time before the devoted team of iphone hackers managed to crack the latest firmware from Apple. As of last night, a jailbreak solution for the iPhone's 1.1.3 software has been released for both OS X and Windows.
One caveat before you begin the process: in order to get the hacked version of 1.1.3, you'll need to be upgrading from a jailbroken version of 1.1.1 or 1.1.2. I'm not sure if there's a way yet to downgrade from 1.1.3 to an earlier version, but it's likely that one will appear before long or some other loophole will be found.
If you're looking for the full skinny on how to the whole jailbreak thing, you could do much worse than to check out this lengthy tutorial at Lifehacker (it mostly documents the Windows process, but it should be similar for OS X).
Giving it a go? Let us know how it works out for you in the comments below.

iPhone hacker Nate True has been digging around in update 1.1.3 and he's made a couple of interesting discoveries, most of which shouldn't come as a surprise. The changes basically add up to signifying that the 1.1.3 update appears to be all ready to support applications developed with Apple's forthcoming Software Development Kit. For example, as we've seen with the Web Clip support, you no longer need to hack the Springboard application to support multiple screens of applications or reorder icons; likewise, all programs are run as a user named "mobile" rather than on earlier versions where all apps were run by the root superuser (a dangerous security vulnerability, since root can be used to make all sorts of potentially malicious changes).
But that's not all Nate's offering: he's also come up with a way to use the new Web Clip feature from 1.1.3 to support something that many an iPhone user has been asking for: speed dial icons on the Home screen.
In order to do this, you'll either need some technical savvy or you'll have to put a bit of trust in Nate: basically the hack works by writing a script on a web server that takes a phone number in the URL and then tries to initiate a call with it. You can turn that page into a Web Clip; voilà, you've got an icon on your Home screen that will call a specified number. The only catch is that because of the iPhone's built-in security features, you'll be asked to confirm that you want to call the number, which may or may not make it faster than using the double-tap Home button method introduced in 1.1.1.

Newsflash: People still use Microsoft's relatively-unimpressive Hotmail email service. And if you're a Hotmail user and sport an iPhone, you may have run into difficulties checking your Hotmail account on the phone via Mail. But if you're thoroughly entrenched and have hundreds of contacts, switching to a new, iPhone-friendly email address may not be an option.
Fortunately for you, our cohorts at Mac OS X Hints have your back, detailing steps that will allow you to use Gmail to access and send Hotmail emails on the iPhone. (You'll also be able to use these steps to similarly set-up Hotmail-sending-and-receiving in Apple Mail.)
You'll need a Gmail address with IMAP enabled, and you'll have to set up your Hotmail account to forward emails to that Gmail address. Tweak a few preferences in Gmail, and set up the account on your iPhone using the recommended settings on Mac OS X Hints.
If you follow the instructions carefully, you'll be able to use Gmail to view and send Hotmail emails on your iPhone, without ever having to log into Hotmail again (hooray!).

One feature I miss on the iPhone version of Safari is tabs; on my desktop computer, I'm lost without the ability to open multiple Web sites in the same window. If you're in the same boat, check out Inventive Labs's Tabulate. Rather than a native application requiring you to hack your iPhone, Tabulate is a JavaScript bookmarklet; just drag the Tabulate bookmarklet on the Inventive Web site (sorry, MovableType has a bug that won't let us include the link here) to your Safari bookmarks bar and then sync your iPhone with your computer. (This procedure assumes, of course, that you sync Safari bookmarks between your iPhone and your computer.)
Once you've got the bookmarklet on your iPhone, just visit any Web site and then choose the bookmarklet from Mobile Safari's bookmarks; a small, orange flag button in the upper-left corner of the screen lets you know Tabulate is working. After that, whenever you tap on any link on the current Web page, a three-button overlay (shown above) appears on the screen. Tapping the blue circle opens the link in the current window. Tapping the green circle opens the link in a new "tab"--actually just another Safari window. Tapping the orange circle saves the link so you can visit it later.
I especially like the third option. As you click on links and save them for later browsing, the flag button in the upper-left displays the number of saved links. When you're ready to view those links, just tap on the button and each saved link opens in a new Safari window. (The Tabulate Web site provides a good demonstration video.)
Of course, Tabulate isn't as good as a real tabs feature; for example, links open in new windows rather than true tabs; you have to re-activate Tabulate for every new page you visit; and some sites, such as Google's new iPhone site, don't work with Tabulate. But it's better than no tabs at all, and I've been using it quite a bit.
