OTM.
I wish there was an app to receive bluetooth files, but it's against the SDK rules.

Which Twitter app is the best? I like Twitterrific but haven't looked at many of the others. Ned needs a good one.

All the effing rules on the iPhone are weak. My Sony phone could tether, drag-and-drop mp3s in the finder/Windows Explorer, and copy files to and from the device over Bluetooth. iPhone? You have to use iTunes to manage MP3s, and god forbid you try to copy them FROM the iPhone (and I actually have MP3s that I CREATED and have copyright for), no tethering allowed, and no bluetooth file management. Plus, no USB file storage. It's weak.

Did you actually think this was going to be different from the last 4 years of Apple mobile products? STFU & take it here: I HATE APPLE

actually i'm a little fed up with the way my iphone handles email--
it takes forever to download the headers, and then sometimes even longer to download the message content. anyone else experience this? (i'm still on the edge iphone)
lately i've been yearning for the days of instant blackberry email. shiiit.
― cutty, Thursday, 11 September 2008 18:58 (seventeen years ago)
I haven't noticed on my iphone. But the way the text messages look is AWESOME. I do mind the automatic spelling checker. :-( Half the time I don't notice so it switches words. Other than that, it ROCKS. I have an iphone. YAY.

NNW latest release is hell of buggy
it's fucked. so much so i've just downgraded to, er, version 1.0.7 (no idea where 1.0.8 went off my HD, but hey). the biggest problem is not removing read items/feeds from the list ... i know some people didn't like the scorched-earth way it did that, and i guess that's why it was nice there was a little menu to control how long things stuck around. only, er, it DIDN'T WORK.
there's a lot of moaning here; apparently a new version has already been sent to apple for upload to the app store, but fuck knows when that'll happen :)

How do you downgrade apps, btw?
stet -- right click on app, reveal app in finder and then replace copy in iTunes hierarchy with copy from yr time machine backup
― html tarsier (Catsupppppppppppppp dude 茄蕃), Thursday, 11 September 2008 21:05 (seventeen years ago)
this was a bit more awkward as the name of the .ipa file was different. but deleting the new one, then doing an apple-I on the app in iTunes and telling it where to look for the old one (ie in, er, the same folder) worked fine.
― large hardon collider (grimly fiendish), Thursday, 11 September 2008 21:12 (seventeen years ago)
oh top, thanks.

oh cool, it keeps old versions of the .ipa!?!!!!
― html tarsier (Catsupppppppppppppp dude 茄蕃), Thursday, 11 September 2008 21:19 (seventeen years ago)
i guess it's only kept the old version because the new one had a slightly different name (ie has 1.0.9 on the end) so didn't overwrite. that'd explain where 1.0.8 went, i guess.

the email bugs me too--cant tell if its the network or the phone but its slow and it doesnt really "push" the mail

Don't get the latest 2 Across if you want LA Times, USA Today, Chicago Tribune, or AARP crosswords. They're being removed in the latest update.
― Mackro Mackro, Friday, 12 September 2008 02:57 (seventeen years ago)
2 Across is several dollars well spent.
― BLONGE (Autumn Almanac), Friday, 12 September 2008 03:22 (seventeen years ago)
This latest NNW is worse than I thought. It's actually unuseable.

ITS A LIE
― s1ocki, Friday, 12 September 2008 13:37 (seventeen years ago)

I usually manage music manually but
wouldn't it be nice if when choosing to sync certain playlists you could see how many items a playlist has in the synce playlists window - much like you can in the remote.app UI
I have LOADS of itunes playlists from previous libraries whose MP3s are long since gone and so are empty
