Interesting iPhone app developed for Glastonbury

[cossie]

It's not Glastonav.

For a start iPhones are only officially available on 02.

It's a pretty safe bet that the map won't need an internet connection to work, GPS signal won't be an issue as it's more like a TV or radio signal - it doesn't matter how many people are using it.

Wow! People really care about this stuff, don't they!

I will add emphasis to what I found interesting in the blurb about it:

Of course from my experience of Glasto phone reception, GPS is going to be faaaaar more reliable than any data exchange over the mobile networks... Never mind as well that leaving GPS on all the time will reduce the battery life of any phone by miles...

I remember back in 97 when no-one seemed to have a phone. We survived tho and that was in a monsoon. We had to meet friends arriving from Scotland so one of us had to go to gate 2 every hour on the hour till we met.

And does anyone remember that tent where you went to leave written messages for friends? Or the meeting point where everyone scribbbled a message? Those were the days! Wouldn't like to repeat all that again tho.

If I can find a decent battery recharger I'll be taking my iphone to Glasto (any recommendations?), mainly to keep up with exciting developments/secret gigs via twitter.

Also, can't seem to find that App via the app store...am I being stupid?

i like the idea of a glasto iphone guide..but i wouldn't want to take an iphone to glasto if i had one!!

one of the coolest apps for the iphone..along with that blackjack card counting app!!

With all the fuss about taking or not taking an iPhone has anyone actually downloaded this app? I've not been able to find it in the istore.

I reckon you'd be crazy to take an iPhone, mine'll be staying safely at home and I'll be taking my oldschool Nokia ... Snake tournament anyone!?!

taling of phone aps, anyone recieved the glastonav link from orange yet?

If you have trouble charging you phone at glasto, try a portable charger. We use an evolution 2000 made by Powerfreakz. You can charge up you iphone as well as other devices. Came in handy last year with mine and my mrs' phones.

I will be taking my iphone this year. Don't see a problem with taking it...?

i just died a little inside

[Peevis]

you need GPS at Glasto??

Only if you've left your brain behind.

[owen_b2]

just out of interest does the iphone sim work in other phones? im not too keen on taking mine when i can take my old skanky phone and spare battery instead.
