"caek, really are you that much of a dick"
No. You seem to have a v. sandy vagina today. This was far from obvious from your original question, which asked something else entirely. Seriously, how AIM works on iPhone is actually interesting and relevant to this thread, so that's what I thought you were getting at. I got your lovely "ON IPHONE" response when I attempted to clarify and a "thanks for nothing" after I spent a few minutes scrubbing through the keynote video looking for the section I thought you were looking for. So The Google link was in response to you being aggressive and ungrateful toward to a genuine attempt to answer your question. I think you'll live though.

aim app only works while running. You give it yr details once, it remembers them. Tabbed interface -- buddies, statuses and live I'm conversations. It's pretty neat.
Nnw is a disappointment. Offline Reading is nice, but UI not polished, no control over feeds, no unified, poor browser. Very 1.0
iTunes remote is fucking awesome.

caek, i don't see how you were being anything but purposefully obtuse. obviously, i was asking how the official AIM client works on the iphone, from someone who has used it. if my sandy vagina is clouding my vision then i must be mistaken.
― cutty, Thursday, 10 July 2008 16:31 (fifteen years ago) link
I wouldn't say you were obviously asking for first-hand experience with AIM on the iPhone; I assumed you wanted PR-speak "this is how it works"-type hype info, as well.

I took "how does it work" to mean, y'know, "how does it work" not "how is it to use". Apparently you meant the latter. I wasn't being obtuse.

Apple's free Remote Application (iTunes Link) is also available and allows you to "control the music on your computer or Apple TV from your iPod touch or iPhone. Play, pause, skip, shuffle. See your songs, playlists, and album art on your iPod touch or iPhone as if you were right in front of your computer. Remote works with your Wi-Fi network, so you can control playback from anywhere in and around your home."
oooh that is cool!
― czn, Thursday, 10 July 2008 17:31 (fifteen years ago) link
I haven't used the itunes remote app yet (soon I hope!) but from what I've read, it lets you display and play from your computer's itunes library on your iphone/ipod touch. It does it over wifi.
xpost yes that's better put
― Euler, Thursday, 10 July 2008 17:32 (fifteen years ago) link
damn! do any of them at least let you skip to a given page in a pdf? i'd settle for that, really.
AIM will use the push-style stuff, but only when that goes live in september, i believe.
― toby, Thursday, 10 July 2008 17:40 (fifteen years ago) link
Yeh push isn't live yet. Toby I've got one more to try that might.
iTunes remote is the killer though. AirTunes has needed it since launch.

It's like Salling Clicker did years ago, except it rocks.
the remote is simply awesome--same interface as the ipod function ON IPHONE
AIM i'm not too pleased with--what's the point if it's not persistent and logs you off everytime the phone goes to sleep? (ON IPHONE)

It's good when yr bored and in one place, though. The non-persistance isn't their fault, though, Apple won't let apps run in the background. Notifications will sort that, though.

I don't know if this is the best place to even ask this, but does anyone know the best way to download or print iPhone text messages? A client needs to turn over all text messages between himself and 3 or 4 other people; too many for screenshots to be feasible. (He doesn't have a Mac and some of the texts are w/ non-Apple users, otherwise he could just print from Messages.) I've Googled this and it's still unclear what's worth buying.
