iPhone apps S/D

hmm backing up doesn't seem that much better.

plus, when i closed itunes and re-started it a second later, it mounted the phone again and... urgh... BACKED IT UP AGAIN. it didn't realize it had just done that like 5 minutes before?

also in my list of "app updates" now there's two of everything. like doubles.

yes, the app-update thing seems to be fucked. i'm trying to ignore it.

that is fucking genius.

"art and livestyle"

in the super niche target market dept.:

The Seattle Bus app is actually worth the $9.99. Only helpful if you're a King County Metro bus rider on a regular basis like :-D. You just hit "find me", and it shows you all the upcoming buses, notably how on time or late they are, which bus, and how many minutes until they arrive. Really cheap interface, but that's part of its charm (for now.)

I know other cities have the "minutes remaining until X bus" info at the stop itself, but hey I gotta take what I can take.

incorporating gps into a public-transit app is smart.

I like that the app is called "Seattle Bus", not King County Metro App or the Emerald Transit Wizard. "TEH SEATTLE BUS APP". Total lack of grace.

I would pay £2 for an app that does what redhotpawn.com does - postal chess over the internet - and I would pay it now

i would pay for an app that would allow me to record my phone calls! especially voip phone calls.

Anybody running pwnage 2.0 and finding it kinda unstable?

my friend is making an app where you can slide pictures of meat around the screen. steak, bacon, rack of lamb. does this sound worth 99 cents?

no. sorry, phil-two's friend.

mmm

burgertime?

yes! wouldn't it a nice diversion to slide a chili cheese dog (with onions) around your iphone screen?

mmm

or maybe there can be a mouth on the bottom and you have to slide the meat into the mouth....

that's this other thing

depending on your definition of meat, you might be able to get away with a lot more than $1.99

that sounds more fun too.

but i need help with mobileme/mac.com.. i have my regular mac.com email and my work email. so i want both pushed to my iphone, so i created a me.com alias that I have my work emails forwarded to. so this works fine sorta on my iphone since both sets of emails get pushed to it, but i don't have the option of sending email from that alias. just my regular mac.com address.

and on my computer, each email sent to my work email ends up in my inbox twice since i guess when it forwards to the me.com alias that in turn gets forwarded to my regular mac.com adderss which is why my phone gets all the emails and the computer gets doubles of my work emails. does this make sense?

so basically, im only allowed one real user account on mac/me.com now? and these aliases are just able to take email and forward to my regular mac.com address?

Could the goddamn MMS "implementation" suck more? They give you a link with two gobbledygook things to enter, but you can't copy and paste. FAIL!

Yea, Why can't they just make that permalink url?

MMS what?

Super-annoying, and the website that you have to use is slow and crappy. It would be nice if AT&T saved all your MMS messages so you could access them with a simple login/pass.

bi have my regular mac.com email and my work email. so i want both pushed to my iphone, so i created a me.com alias that I have my work emails forwarded to.

Can't you access your work email server directly?

i can but i'd rather have it push so i can get it more instantaneous? or is that b.s.

does texting on an iPhone really suck?

nope

i like that you can see your back and forht like ichat

yeah its fun

Push email through Exchange is great, but a battery-killer. I don't get a full day's worth of power from a charge. Pretty sweet, though, especially with the Outlook calendar integration. No more syncing.

I'd skip all this push nonsense for right now. Set it to check every 30 minutes.

DUDES. try testing the word motörhead. or typing it. IT PUTS IN THE FUCKING UMLAUT!

still doesn't recognize "fucking", but WOAH. my phone types motörhead.

this message brought to you by an unlikely iPhone pioneer on the 44 bus heading south through Glasgow

my phone types motörhead.

That's awesome!

Doesn't do Björk tho.

It doesn't do motley but it does crüe. WAHT

Ok then, bought this for meself as a birfday present. Anybody know how to get a wav as a ringtone on here? I need my Peter Davison theme, and everything on the itunes store is shitty electro mixes.

oh wait, this one sounds trancey. Still not good enough. I need that Arp Odyssey 2 sound.

oh wait, nevermind. A friend just sent me here

Basically (in iTunes)

1. Set up the prefs to convert songs into AAC files. I think you also need iTunes set up to "Copy Files to iTunes Music Folder When Adding to Library."
2. Select a song, and get info on it. In the "Options" tab, set the in and out points you want.
3. Convert the track to AAC. It will convert only the section you set in the options. Go back in the options of the original track and un-set the in and out points.
4. Drag the new AAC file to the desktop. Change to file extension to m4r.
5. Double-click the file on the desktop. It should now show up as a sync-able ringtone in iTunes.
6. Don't forget to change the converter prefs back to mp3, or you'll end up with a bunch of crap AAC files in your library.

Yup, there you go.

anyone else tried zintin, then?
