Actually I was thinking more of the web in general, not for sites targeting the iPhone. Sure for the iPhone they could make an iPhone specific site that replaced Flash video with quicktime/h264 video. But for the web in general, I'd say Flash penetration is much higher than Quicktime. (In...

Did you click the update iPhone button on the bottom of each of the 3 mod screens? It's easy to overlook.

I don't think you'll ever see h264 content linked to directly from a web site. Flash serves as a lowest common denominator: every computer either has it or can install it very easily. Plus it serves as a way for youtube to link back to youtube.com, show related videos, etc. So I think you'll...

It does show how nervous current investors are. Dealbreaker.com put it best: Apple currently has no room to make mistakes.

Apple has changed the way they're accounting for revenue so that they can update and provide new features as time goes on. they've actually stated that to be the case, it's not just bloggers interpretting their actions.

backing up is pretty much done automatically by iTunes. something in the restore/update process that (some) modders had to go through messed with that. I'm sure pretty much everyone here left that checkbox clicked in iTunes so it's not like we were being careless. as for modders, it wasn't a...

If you have OS X, it'll be in '~/Library/Application Support/MobileSync/Backup/long random string'. I've got files time stamped from the first sync that happened after my restore/update and files from my last sync. I haven't confirmed what the files from the original sync include, so for all...

Re: backup stuff. I stand corrected, it looks like it keeps multiple copies of the files in there. Just did a sync and it created new files with new timestamps. So it looks like somewhere in the restore/update process, iTunes wiped that directory clean and I lost everything. Luckily it wasn't...

Question. Do you also have usage times like call timer restored? I know iTunes stores a backup in a compressed SQLite database in your Application Support directory (in OS X) but unfortunately it only stores the last sync. I'm guessing (in my case at least) it did an interim sync which...

Ack, had to restore and update. In the process I lost my notes and text messages. I thought it was supposed to restore those also? Damn you Apple for not syncing notes or letting us forward or archive text messages.

Heh, thanks. Tho I don't see it much anymore, SMS supports return receipt. I used to use this to confirm when people received messages. Of course you're right, I was just speaking in the mid-term range, SMS will be here for at least a few years. Just think about how the transition would...

Uh, you mean he lures people to his house with the promise of free candy? :tounge: Though I do have to admit, the iPhone so far has been a great wingman...:laugh2:

Mostly because it's a moot question. SMS is here to stay and the only way it's gonna go is for the majority of cell phones to provide something different. And I doubt it's gonna be email. The nice thing about SMS from a carrier's point of view is that it doesn’t require internet access. So if...

Tell me about it. That would solve SO many problems IMHO. And it would be so easy to implement too. Must be. Though I'm not a teen by any means: http://arstechnica.com/news.ars/post/20061002-7877.html I just find that email is much more likely to go unread for a day or at least a few hours...

While I think this particular usage is a niche, the ability to forward SMS definitely is NOT a niche! Don't you ever get someone's phone number txted to you and then you forward it to a friend? Or someone txts you the directions to a party and then you need to forward it to someone else? The...
