Top 5 ‘Apps for Chaps’
iPhone 4S
Stachetastic £0.69
This is the most sought after phone of the year, and the fastest iPhone yet, with an A5 dual core processor and up to 14.4Mbps download speeds – the perfect partner for Manx Telecom’s fastest on Island 3G HSPA network. The worldwide hysteria which accompanied its launch is not surprising given that the iPhone 4S can give you the answer to the meaning of life! Apple’s iconic smartphone now gives you a personal assistant - called Siri - which lets you use your voice to send messages, schedule meetings, place phone calls, and much more. Siri can answer a whole range of questions and you will keep on finding more and more ways to use it.
Movember is coming up, and if you just don’t know what ‘tache to sport, get this app! Handlebars, the toothbrush or the Mexican? Try before you grow with the iPhone app.
The iPhone 4S features an 8 megapixel camera with LED flash and face detection, 1080p HD video recording which looks fantastic when viewed on the 3.5-inch retina display. The iPhone 4S is available in black or white and with 16GB, 32GB or 64GB options. Just for the record, Siri’s answers to the meaning of life have so far included “42” (Siri must have made a call to ‘Deep Thought’, the computer from The Hitch Hiker’s Guide To The Galaxy); “To think about questions like this”; and “Chocolate”
Available from Manx Telecom from November - two demo handsets are available in store now and pre-orders can be made by phoning 624 624 or by visiting the Manx Telecom Shop in Strand Street.
