I guess this means the spreadsheet output data isn't gonna be available to
the word processor app to put into the big report to the CEO any time soon.
This should make businessmen just peachy happy......
Doesn't anyone at Apple use any business apps anymore?
How are we gonna put the spreadsheet's graphs on the report, too??

It didn't have a spreadsheet or word processor before, so this is a
non-issue! ;-)

On your $1700 MacBook Air?
The Apple fans will cringe at the thought, but the iPhone is following in
the footsteps that Microsoft's Windows CE (now Windows Mobile) devices
pounded in the pavement long ago- MS made the devices semi-useful, but not
so useful that anyone would consider owning one _instead_ of a laptop. (The
original MS PDA devices were called "PC Companions," with many functions
which required docking with a PC to perform.) It wasn't until 3rd party
developers pushed the capabilities of WinMo devices did they become suitable
laptop substitutes for many. But that concept is certainly not in Apple's
(or Microsoft's) best interests. Why sell someone a mobile device instead
of a laptop, if you can convince them they need both? Microsoft reportedly
makes under $10 per unit on a windows Mobile license, vs. $25-30 or so per
copy of XP or Vista bundled with a computer. Which would they rather sell?
And as a hardware maker, Apple has even a bigger incentive to make sure the
iPhone is a MacBook's "companion" and not it's substitute...

Right you are! I sync'd three iPhones today.
iPhone #1 (my own). No improvement in battery life, and broke an application (AdelaVoice Voice Dialer) so that it crashes my iPhone even more often than before! That's saying something; my iPhone crashes about 3 times/day.
iPhone #2 (one of my reps). Bricked. Had to go to the Apple Store to recover. The standard methods of recovery didn't work. Endless loops.
iPhone #3 (my wife's). Hasn't been used yet so it has yet to turn on me. :>)
(Overall the iPhone has been a very useful gadget, useful enough to overlook the crashing issues. But am I the only person who finds the Mac vs PC ads kinda funny, given that the Apple OS on the iPhone crashes far more often than the worst PC I've ever had?)

This is unusual. I'm just not seeing scads of reports like this. In fact
I'm not seeing any. So I kind of doubt it's inherent to the iPhone. I
suspect something else is going on.

This is potentially very useful information. Filed away for future use.

I always keep a spare unlocked handset, currently a K800i from my last
contract.

If you follow that mantra you wouldn't be a man!
It's a matter of picking your battles - car model: me, car colour: the
wife. TV: me what's shown on it: the wife ...... oh ****

In 1992, my wife said she was gonna leave me if I didn't turn off the
computer and pay attention to what she was saying to me.
Sometimes I miss her, but most times NOT!
Before that event, I couldn't keep a half-full glass of iced tea on my
desk. If I turned around to pick up something, when I turned back my glass
had been "put up" against my will. Not a single piece of clothing ever
fell all the way to a chair or the floor before being snatched up by a
magic force.
After she left, I put a dirty t-shirt right in the middle of the bedroom
floor. That way, if she snuck back into the house I could tell she'd been
in here because, of course, it would have been "put up" where it belonged.
So far, that t-shirt is still sitting right where I put it.....just like my
iced tea glass, ON THE DESK, not on the damned coaster!
Living alone isn't all that lonely when inanimate objects you love don't
move themselves.
