Sideshow.com & SS Freaks Icons for iPhone!!

[IrishJedi]

In a joint effort between Darklord Dave, Frankenfan and myself I'm proud to let fellow Freaks and Sideshow enthusiasts know that there are now "official" icons available for iPhone owners that you can add to your iPhone "Home Screen" for instant access to our two favorite websites!

It's completely free, of course. We simply made web clips that can be added to any iPhone that forward directly to the sites.

To add either (or both) of these to your iPhone, simply follow these steps...

Add SIDESHOW Icon/Link To Your iPhone:

1. Access the web on your iPhone via the Safari browser.

2. Go to the following URL: webclip.us/

3. Enter the following clip number and press the "GO!" button: 66a22d9

4. Once the next screen loads, click the "+" icon at the bottom of your browser.

5. Select "Add to Home Screen".

6. Clear out the field and type "Sideshow" (this field dictates what name your icon will have on your Home Screen. You won't want all the default mumbo-jumbo that Webclip adds).

7. Click the "Add" button at the top right of the browser.

8. Done! The new icon has been added to your iPhone Home Screen! Now, all you need to do is click that to go straight to the SideshowCollectibles.com website!


Add SIDESHOW FREAKS Icon/Link To Your iPhone:

Follow the same exact steps as above, except enter this unique clip number in Step 3 to add the SSF icon: 2bee1b6.

In Step 6, you may want to name the icon "SS Freaks" so the name will fit on your iPhone Home Screen.


If you have followed the instructions, your new iPhone Home Screen icons should look something like this:

ENJOY!

That is pretty kewl.

Still deciding if I want to give up my Sidekick 2 for a iPhone. Was looking at the 16g version but was wanting more space.

 

[IrishJedi]

Thanks! I hope folks out there are able to use and enjoy these.

As far as storage, I have the 8 GB iPhone and honestly that's plenty for me. I have a separate iPod, though... so that's why. If someone were wanting an All-in-one even 20GB probably wouldn't be enough.

But on my 8 GB iPhone I still have a lot of music, photos, videos and even movies stored on it and I still have almost 7 GB of storage left.

This device is definitely one of those things that "changes your life" in that you can't imagine NOT having one after you get one.

Will that work for the iPod touch as well?

It might, yeah. You can surf the web with the Touch, right? If so, the steps should be the same.

Thanks Carl

Followed the steps and it added the links to my phone but didn't use those icons. Just the clip of the page.

Now there are no excuses for missing PPO

I can't wait to see all the new uses for the iPhone and touch once people finally sink their teeth into the SDK.

Hmm... that's weird. Did you wait a few moments before renaming the link and clicking "Add"? Sometimes it takes several seconds for the pic of the page to be replaced by the actual webclip/icon.

 

[chapuchi]

Thanks! Just added them. A very nice and cleanly done tutorial IrishJedi.

No I renamed them pretty quickly. I'll delete them and try again.

 

[The Josh]

Tried it again and still got the sceen cap image. Which is fine as they both take me to the places I want.

 

[IrishJedi]

That's really weird, Josh. I wonder if there is some setting in your iPhone that is preventing the actual webclips from showing up.

Oh well... like you said, at least they work!

 

[The Josh]

Yeah, I'll check the settings again to see. No biggie really cause it all works.

 

[ChrisfromSideshow]

Very cool stuff!

Try out one for Sideshow too: 6a6ec30

 

[dunedain]

Very cool! Now I just need an Iphone.

 

[Kabukiman]

I followed the instructions to a T, but I can't get any cool icons

Probably because I have a jail-broken iPhone?

iPhone work on Verizon Wireless yet???

iPhone work on Verizon Wireless yet???

Not for a good long while. If verizon uses sim cards, you can buy an old model and unlock it. I use mine on T-mobile.

A lil' OT, but I am getting a MacBookPro in September for school.
