GPS wise, no issue. Use it repeatedly with CoPilot for satNav.

Battery wise, I charge overnight, listen to music into and out of
work, and use a lot while at work, and it can keep me going till the
end of the next work day
Wifi on usually, not searching for new networks, 3G on, auto
brightness but turned down a bit. Email is set to fetch every 30mins.

I've found it perfectly usable for navigating on foot or in the back of a taxi. It's got me out of a few situations that way in fact.

To be honest I've not found that. I still routinely drain the battery, but that's because there's so much to do with the iPhone. I turn the screen low and turn off data when I'm overseas, and then it lasts days and days..

I've found the battery life is better on the 3GS too. Mine can get me
through 2 days with a fair bit of use.

That's very helpful, thanks. I've also just noticed the base model s
has double the capacity.

The performance boost alone is worth the extra, without a doubt. Additionally the better camera and video recording are very nice to have (much better than the pure pixel count increase would lead you to believe), and the compass just makes Maps more useful. I also find myself using the voice dialling/voice control more than I would have thought. It's more reliable than any other system I've used, and very useful when the phone's in your pocket.

Dear all
There's nothing on the iPhone 3Gs that makes me think that's the one
to have apart from the improved performance. The improved camera and
video recording function don't do it for me, compass looks like fun
but I've managed without thus far.
So do those with experience of the 3G and 3Gs feel that the

Enjoyed the description of server and server software, and I can see
how it's useful for larger organisations, esp. at that price, it's a
steal. For my domestic situation I think the sharing between machines

that is... Prefer the sound au naturelle - too much sibilance and

it hasn't worked. I can't find anything else useful on the web so does

Some DVD players have the ability to playback Photo CDs or DVDs containing JPGs. By the sound of it, yours ain't one of these.
Re:co is correct (as always). Your best bet is to use something like iDVD which effectively takes your photos, builds what we would call a "slideshow" but in reality converts these to a DVD-video stream - exactly what your DVD player instructions is telling you.

I don't have Aperture so try it's help menu with the term DVD, it may
give clues to a way to burn as a standard DVD slideshow from Aperture.

Otherwise try opening Toast & selecting Video > DVD-Video from the
types of disk available to burn, then drag the pictures into the main
Toast window. Tweak the various options to alter the names & times etc
