Do you fancy to have the iPhone 3GS functionality but are currently stuck with the iPhone 3G and are not planning to upgrade your current iPhone 3G in the near future?

Below are 3 Applications that can help transform your iPhone 3G to have features that are similar to the iPhone 3GS for FREE:-

This application “Say N Dial” has the similar functionality as the Voice Dial feature of the iPhone 3GS. Please take note that if you have many contacts of very similar names, this application may not work very well as it may tend to confuse itself with similar sounding names. So, do not be surprised if you ended up calling someone that you do not originally wanted to call using this app.

Ever wanted to have the Zoom and Flash functionality of the iPhone 3GS? This application is a great one to do just that. It allows you to capture images and will do a modification on the captured image to make it looks brighter. It also allows you to perform a zoom whenever you want to. This is certainly an application that i will recommend for those of you who do a lot of photo-taking using the iPhone.

The iPhone 3GS comes with the standard battery indicator on the top right corner of the phone. If you are using the iPhone 3G and would like to know the remaining battery life on your iPhone 3G, you may want to consider installing this app. It provides a good estimation of the remaining minutes that the iPhone can last if it is put on standby mode, talktime mode on 2G/3G network, internet browsing mode on EDGE/3G/Wifi as well as video or audio mode when using the iPod function.

Of course, these are not going to fully replace the iPhone 3GS functionality. It is however a good or reasonable compromise to enhance the iPhone 3G handset. Have fun testing out these functionalities and do drop us a comment if you have found better apps that can do the tricks.

This is a question i have been asked quite a lot lately. So, i figured it would be good if i can put this information on this blog so that it can benefit those who(are just as paranoid as myself about leaving credit card details on the internet!!) does not want to provide their credit card details when signing up for the iTunes account. The “trick” is quite simple actually…… Just go purchase a FREE Application on the iTunes and when asked whether to create a new iTunes account or to login to an existing one, just choose to create a new account. Of course, before you can access this, you will need to download the latest iTunes software from Apple. It is normally located at the following website:-

http://www.apple.com/itunes/download/

After downloading the software, just do as per what is described above i.e. to do a purchase of free Apps on the iTunes store and then create an account. When you reach the payment details information, there will be an extra “None” button(on the right hand side after the different types of credit cards) that you can choose to complete the iTunes account setup without providing your credit card details.
