Google Wave Goes Full Screen for iPhone

“Just like with any Web page on the iPhone, you can save a bookmark on your Home screen, and it creates a little icon which launches mobile Safari to that page. When you save the Wave bookmark to your Home screen, however, something different happens. You go to Wave, but without the Safari wrapper which allows you to navigate to another page or search the Web. Instead, it looks more like a regular app and there is no way to navigate away from it. Everything else works the same as in the mobile browser version.”

Reset to Cellular Tower

Rogers technical support indicated that every few days you should do a full power down of your iPhone so it can reset the cellular connection. You do this by holding down the power button for a few seconds until prompted for a full power off slider swipe. I have experienced some 3G reception issues even where there is normally good 3G coverage so hopefully this tip helps solve that problem.
