iTunes Calendar Sync Problem
From Matt: 1. Insert iPhone into Dock 1. iTunes comes up 1. Click on iPhone in the list 1. Click the Info tab 1. Under Calendars… at the bottom, Change “new events created on this iPhone into the calendar:” to something other than “Home” 1. Note that the popup menu never changes from Home
Contacts displayed in wrong letter grouping
I changed the contact list to short and display First Name, Last Name. The sort is totally messed up now. Under “L” I have H R (first last initials), then I L S, then D I B, I S, I S, I & O, etc. Makes no sense for being in the “L” grouping. So… Continue reading Contacts displayed in wrong letter grouping
Clock only suggests Portland, Oregon
When setting the time zone, I entered Portland and iPhone only offered Portland, USA. There is a Portland, Maine so I didn’t know which one iPhone had suggested. Accepting Portland showed it is indeed Portland, Oregon. Maine may take a quibble with this.
Turning on bluetooth after a call has started can hang up the call
Update: I have tried this five times now and its worked all five times since this initial issue. I think it was happenstance and that due to a weak signal the call dropped at the same time. I now consider this a non-issue. I was on a call and realized bluetooth was off. So I… Continue reading Turning on bluetooth after a call has started can hang up the call
Bluetooth vs WiFi
Twice now I have been using my Jabra JX-10 while on a call and surfing the web via WiFi on my Airport Extreme N router to watch the wifi totally drop on the iPhone, come back and have errors loading web pages. I then switched to the headphones, turned off bluetooth during the call and… Continue reading Bluetooth vs WiFi
Dull EDGE
Update: Barry points out that it seems that EDGE crashed. Thanks barry! On the way home with my third Jawbone I was stopped at a light in my neighborhood, which according to AT&T is “marginal” (Damnit). I decide to check mail and it says “Could not activate EDGE.” Well hmm. I have 5 bars. Cingular… Continue reading Dull EDGE
Jawbone, take three
On Sunday I bought a Jawbone bluetooth headset. The audio quality is fantastic. The construction, not so much. The first one broke during the first day, or was broken when I got it, I was so busy all day hard to tell. The power connector snaps over the end of the Jawbone, which I love,… Continue reading Jawbone, take three
iPhone’s iPod scrubber is not always as good as a wheel
Update: While demoing the iPhone at PMUG, some nice person pointed out that you can press and hold the fast forward/rewind buttons to scan audio and video! This trick apparently works on most iPods as well. Who knew? Not me! This is why I love PMUG and meeting other users face to face. On an… Continue reading iPhone’s iPod scrubber is not always as good as a wheel
iPhone FAQ – Phone for use during repair is $29
Hmm, I am not sure what to think about this, its basically $10 a day if they live up to the 3 day business turn around, however its cheaper if you have the phone over a weekend. I suppose if you don’t need a phone, you say $29. If you do need one, its not… Continue reading iPhone FAQ – Phone for use during repair is $29
Open Letter to Universal Music Group
To: communications@umusic.com To whom it may concern, Hello! I thought i would drop a note off to your company. I honestly don’t know which artists are under the UMG umbrella, but I do know that you need my business. I don’t need any artists content. Should you decide to not renew your iTunes contract, I… Continue reading Open Letter to Universal Music Group
A new way to use an iPod – Listen to TWiT in your pocket!
Maybe I was too harsh on the speaker volume. Tonight, because I could not use my in-car audio adaptor, I listened to today’s TWiT via the speaker. I sat the phone on the passenger seat which stayed perfectly still thanks to the rubber case I bought for it. I paused it while in the store,… Continue reading A new way to use an iPod – Listen to TWiT in your pocket!
EDGE Speeds
According to Bandwidth Place I got the following speeds: WiFi – 1.9mbps Edge – 91kbps Ouch 🙂
Two very important iPhone warnings
From the Apple Phone Show: Be careful of leaving your phone in your car – it is rated to 95f only! Do not use the included cloth while the phone is on. Even the manual says so. Static could harm the phone.
New iPhone features coming “very, very soon”
According to Apple Insider, Apple will be releasing new iPhone features, including an IM client, “very, very soon” and also along with Leopard in October. I hope so, that would really push new customers to the platform. Seeing a phone actually updated and new features added easily could easily sway even more people into the… Continue reading New iPhone features coming “very, very soon”
iPhone Bluetooth headsets
Jawbone. Rocks. Check it out John, a friend who is a Mac geek and trucker, uses this blue parrot B150 and I must say it sounds pretty damned nice. If you spend a lot of time in a truck or noisy environment, this might be the one for you.
iPhone halo effect
iPhone: $599 Sunday trip to Apple Store to buy accessories: $170. Incase case (Yes that is my 56″ TV reflected in the iPhone over the MacBook Pro): Jawbone Bluetooth Headset: Full Album Here
Jott
Jott rocks. I left this jott to myself via a bluetooth headset. I used jott to say this from my jabra headset. Amazing how well it translates. Jott To Self Hey man, I am now headed to the AppleStore in Washington Square. I am driving in my car along Baseline highway and I am going… Continue reading Jott

The iPhone is a dud
Someone is going to write a piece like this so I thought who better than an Apple fanboi? Why wait for an industry pundit who is paid to write hate pieces when you can get it here first! The iPhone sucks! Here is why: They only sold like a bazillion phones. There are still phones… Continue reading The iPhone is a dud
