So, interesting thing: You can’t access the iTunes Store via Edge. I wanted to show someone the store last night, and a message came up instead of the store. I wonder if it is to avoid a bad user experience (slow) or that AT&T doesn’t want to foot the bandwidth bill for Apple’s music downloads.
Just downloaded iPhone software 1.1.1. The first new icon on the main screen is the iTunes music store. Browsing now.
Google just updated their calendar to work better on the iPhone, and it does. That’s a relief because we use it quite a bit in the office. It is the only good truly shared calendar out there. Now I can rely on getting my calendar info on my iPhone. My only complaint is that I can’t seem to switch back to the full Google Calendar app. I’m stuck in the iPhone version on my phone. That may prove to be an issue if I need to access a more advanced function.
Apple claims that unlocking your iPhone will potentially break it when a new update arrives. What do you think? Is Apple just trying to scare us, or are they trying to help us with a warning?
As a software guy, it seems somewhat plausible. Those unlocking techniques require firmware changes, and the new Apple update could conflict with that. My iPhone remains locked and unhacked, so I get the Apple experience, but I’m curious to see what happens. Heck, I’m still waiting for someone to answer this question: If you unlock your iPhone, and switch to, say. T-Mobile, how does does non-wifi browsing work? What is the Edge chip communicating with?
OK. This is a little weird. Here are some iPod clothes for babies. They have iPhone ones, but I like the ones with the click wheels that make it look like the baby is an iPod. Very strange. But if I saw these while my daughter was younger, I would have totally bought one.
