I keep my iPhone protected with the locking mechanism but when I’m at home I like to attach it to my stereo and stream pandora or my itunes library. To answer the obvious question, running those things from my Mac just adds more clutter to my workspace so I like to unload those things.
Anyway, my droid had a feature that would allow you to set the phone to stay unlocked while plugged into a power source, unless locked manually. I can’t find anything like this on the iPhone. Anyone know of something I’m missing? Skipping songs and what not is really more of a process than it needs be do to having to unlock it every time. And manually turning the auto-lock on and off all the time, ugh. Too much work. 🙂
With the iPhone, there’s no need to unlock to skip a song, repeat a song, or change the volumne, or pause. Just double tap the Home Button and you can access those functions on the lock screen, without having to unlock the iPhone. Neat huh?
