    > For the security conscious, the Passcode Lock section of Settings now

    offers an option to erase all data on the iPhone after 10 failed attempts
    at entering the passcode

    You'll be able to tell if your little kid has been playing with your iPhone
    when you find it totally erased from him trying to find the passcode....

    How many kids will die over this "feature" remains a mystery....(c;

    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.

    A wise man never comes between his wife and ANYTHING, if he knows what's
    good for him.....

    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.
