			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p><a title="WhatsApp iPhone messaging application" href="http://www.whatsapp.com" target="_blank">WhatsApp</a> is a great application that is useful for instant messaging from iPhone-to-iPhone for FREE. It is akin to the Blackberry Messenger, and is a rival application to the much famed Ping, which picked up a huge following due to the $0 price tag when it first launched. (They have since launched Ping Lite which is still free).</p>
<p>However, WhatsApp seemingly does not support quite a number of countries, but there is a legitimate way around it. Their website quotes in their FAQ:</p>
<blockquote>
<h4><span style="color: #339966;">What countries do you support?</span></h4>
<p>Most of them! We took extra steps during development to make sure WhatsApp works for almost every country in the world and even among contacts in different countries. However, WhatsApp is currently not supported in <strong>Malaysia, India, Indonesia, and Thailand</strong></p></blockquote>
<p><strong>Step-by-step tutorial on getting WhatsApp working</strong></p>
<p>1. Install <strong>WhatsApp</strong> from the <a title="Install WhatsApp" href="http://itunes.apple.com/WebObjects/MZStore.woa/wa/browserRedirect?url=itms%253A%252F%252Fitunes.apple.com%252FWebObjects%252FMZStore.woa%252Fwa%252FviewContentsUserReviews%253Fid%253D310633997%2526onlyLatestVersion%253Dtrue%2526pageNumber%253D0%2526sortOrdering%253D1%2526type%253DPurple%252BSoftware%2526tduid%253Dafe039826f1abe9061a69de5a8ee82ca%2526affId%253D1503186" target="_blank">iTunes Store</a>.</p>
<p>2. Before you launch it, go to <strong>Settings</strong>, then go to the <strong>Phone</strong> section.</p>
<p>3. Click on <strong>My Number</strong>.</p>
<p><img title="whatsapp-configuration-1" src="../wp-content/uploads/2009/11/whatsapp-configuration-1.jpg" alt="whatsapp-configuration-1" width="600" height="450" /></p>
<p>4. Key in your number preceded with the + symbol and click <strong>Save</strong>.</p>
<p>5. Now, launch WhatsApp, and if you haven&#8217;t ever launched it before, you will be asked whether or not to allow WhatsApp to send you push notifications. Click <strong>OK</strong> (or else your functionality will be severely limited. If you previously clicked <strong>Don&#8217;t Allow</strong>, you can go back to <strong>Settings</strong> to modify it under the <strong>Notifications</strong> section).</p>
<p><img title="whatsapp-configuration-2" src="../wp-content/uploads/2009/11/whatsapp-configuration-2.jpg" alt="whatsapp-configuration-2" width="600" height="450" /></p>
<p>6. You will be asked to key in your phone number again.</p>
<p>7. Do so, and click <strong>Done</strong>. And now you&#8217;re really done! WhatsApp should be enabled for you. (Do leave me a comment if this worked for you &#8211; it helps my head grow bigger).</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>Last weekend, I attended a wedding and had the opportunity to use 2 iPhones simultaneously to capture photos. <a title="@warrentan on Twitter" href="http://twitter.com/warrentan" target="_blank">@warrentan</a> had just picked up his iPhone 3Gs the night before and it was still brand spankin&#8217; new! Here&#8217;s a side-by-side comparison of how the photos turned out from both phones.</p>
<p>For the iPhone 3Gs, I did use the tap-to-focus on the subject feature. All photos are not touched up, and are saved at the highest quality after adding the watermark in Photoshop.</p>
<p>Initial observations are that the tap-to-focus on the iPhone 3Gs also is for metering, and in certain cases, can over or underexpose images depending on where you tap. Overall, the images from the iPhone 3G pale in comparison, as the iPhone 3Gs adds vibrance and a certain warmth to the images. Gone too is the milky film that overlays the iPhone 3G images.</p>
