Not sure which apps sales you're referring to, but Apple would sacrifice those sales in a second to have Flash running on the iPhone. They want to sell phones first and foremost. App sales are secondary and only there to make the iPhone a more attractive purchase.
Is your Outlook client connecting to a corporate Exchange (or other) email system, or are you using it to manage webmail accounts like Gmail or Hotmail? If it's corporate, your IT group would need to set up Exchange Activesync in order for you to truly synchronize the two. There might be some odd hybrid solution that would involve docking your iPhone and syncing over a cable, but that doesn't count as far as I'm concerned. But Activesync will keep your mail, contacts, and calendar items current in both places.If your Outlook is connecting to webmail accounts, you can set up the same webmail accounts directly on your iPhone and you would be pretty close to synchronized. The only thing you wouldn't get are any folders saved locally in Outlook and Drafts that you saved locally in Outlook. But if you have Outlook save your drafts in one of your webmail accounts' Draft folders, they *would* sync to the iPhone. This can get kinda tricky.Also, there is not currently an out of box solution for syncing Tasks and Notes from Outlook, even if you use ActiveSync. There are some third party apps that seem to be able to do this, though -- most of them require you to install a local agent on your PC with Outlook and sync Tasks and Notes to some database up in the cloud where the iPhone side of the app can get to them.
They have already sent discovery letters to Apple, AT&T, and Google to gather information on why the Google Voice app was rejected. This is potentially a very, very good thing for the openness of the iPhone platform, which is a great thing for iPhone owners.http://www.techcrunch.com/2009/07/27/apple...ely-atts-fault/
Thanks for the reply. I'm not too technically sound, but I have Outlook setup for my comcast email, as well as my iPhone. So when I get my email on my phone, then delete the emails I have read or don't need, I have to do the same process over again on my laptop with Outlook, because when I sync up my iPhone on my laptop, it won't sync up my inbox. When I used to use comcast.net as my email server, it would remove the deleted emails from the server so if I did go into Outlook all those previously deleted emails from comcast.net would be gone for good and wouldn't reappear in Outlook. I hope I'm explaining myself right. Like I said I'm not too advanced! Thanks for the info.
Ah, I think I'm starting to understand now. You're wanting the contents of the iPhone mailbox to mirror the contents of your Outlook mailbox after you sync, kinda like the way a Treo sync used to work.From what I've seen, the iPhone doesn't actually sync mail in that way. It stores a few days worth in the local memory of the iPhone, but mail messages aren't included in the backup files it creates. When you sync via iTunes, only your mail settings are stored -- it doesn't actually "sync" the mail with a desktop mailbox. What I've seen with the iPhone is that it gives you a "window" into your server-side mailbox. I think it's a few days by default, but you can stretch that "window" out to 30 days, or even go "unlimited", though I'm not sure what that would do to your performance. I've got mine set to 7 days.
If you had Apple products before you should know after a year or so they really start to break down.
Alias- Have you tried resetting the iPhone to factory settings? Make sure all your media is backed up first. Good luck.

That has solved the few freezing or sloooooooooowness issues I've had with my 1st Gen phone.

Primarily I was thinking of the simple games like tower defenses, paper toss, etc. -- there are so many free flash-based game web sites that I'd think it would eat into the lower-priced game app market.
Took more than one ipod to "genius" bar and both I was told the HD was fried. Had it under 2 years. Threw it in my drawer then a year later when I was cleaning it out, I plugged it in and it worked. Goes out once a year, let it rest for a month then it works.Tough to reset when you can't even start it up.
you don't even need nuevasync...SETTINGS > MAIL, CONTACTS, CALENDARSADD ACCOUNTOTHERADD CALDAV ACCOUNTServer: www.google.comuser/pass: use your Google credentials
Your single experience certainly proves it then. Never mind that Apple consistently has the highest customer satisfaction ratings year in and year out.Took more than one ipod to "genius" bar and both I was told the HD was fried.

Yup. Jailbreak your iPhone and go into Cydia and download the emulator (if there is a gameboy emulator for OS 3x). Download all the ROMs you want and put them on your iPhone as well using openSSH or some other app. I have an app called DiskAid that let's me load anything onto my iPhone. Good luck
that's right. I forgot that I'm using nuevasync as the middle-man to sync my work calendar(linux box running Thunderbird's "Lightning" calendar) to my google calendar to my iphone.All 3 are synced. Add an event on my work caledar thru Lightning also adds that event tothe google calendar which then shows up on my iphone.Fun stuff nonetheless and has made me on time for a much larger percentage of my work meetings.When I'm away from my desk and not seeing my work calendar reminder, my iphone kindly pingsme the reminder as well.

Interesting, I know a ton of people who have apple products and all complain about how quickly they break down. You are also commenting about their satisfaction rating right after the 3G hypehttp://industry.bnet.com/technology/100035...by-iphone-user/goonsquad said:Your single experience certainly proves it then.

During the warranty you should expect that kind of service from any productI've been stunned by Apple's awesome customer service with my iPhones. (I've never owned an Apple computer though.)The two times I've had a problem they've just swapped them out for a new one. Great company, made me consider a Macbook Pro as my next cpu purchase.
Ok, I did a brief search on how to jailbreak my phone, and it looks like the most popular programs cost money...I'm sure it has been linked, but truth be told I'm lazy. Can anyone link me to a site that I can DL the jailbreaking software and one that will explain how to do it without turning my phone into a $600 paper weight?
I used redsn0w to jalbreak it and it was pretty simple. Check out the "readme". Have fun
As far as I know, i don't know of any reason your internet browsing history on the iphone shows up on the home computer unless you have them synced in some way.
Ok, what if they are synced? Like, say, through iTunes.
Well, the links I searched in google said "no". But, here's an interesting site: http://www.sync-blog.com/sync/2009/07/stud...youve-been.html
Absolutely true. But I never got that kind of service with my Dell desktop computer.I also would consider a Mac for my next computer. I'm just too cheap to move away from my old Dell until it completely dies.During the warranty you should expect that kind of service from any productI've been stunned by Apple's awesome customer service with my iPhones.

So far it's not covered with ATT, which I can't understand since I know I have recieved pixs messaging on different phones.no MMS info., huh?
It's coming - probably a month or two away yet, but they are working on it.So far it's not covered with ATT, which I can't understand since I know I have recieved pixs messaging on different phones.no MMS info., huh?
Had more than one ipod and one nano and know a ton of friends with iphones/macs/nano and ipod and would say 9 out of 10 had these problems. You can google as well if you want to get your head out of the sand.I don't get why apple followers tout apple as so great to actually honor their warranty.

I wouldn't get a Dell either and I'm a pc user. Overrated, overpriced and break down quick for a long time now. Dell was great many years ago when the company was built on excellent customer service but those days are long gone.Absolutely true.

Sure. That's what they keep saying. I'm still bitter that text messaging isn't covered by the data plan.It's coming - probably a month or two away yet, but they are working on it.So far it's not covered with ATT, which I can't understand since I know I have recieved pixs messaging on different phones.no MMS info., huh?
Nine of ten friends! Well that load of scientific data sure settles the matter. You clearly only come in here only to rip Apple so I'm not sure you're worth an honest reply. But the fact is even under warranty most companies make you send your device in for repairs and after a few weeks of waiting you get a refurbished product back. It speaks volumes that you can walk into an Apple store and often walk out in minutes with a brand new iPhone. So yeah, Wow!! You want to talk about a product with REAL reliability issues, look no farther than the Xbox. They had a full 33% failure rate on millions of products sold. If you're one of that lucky third, you're waiting weeks to get someone else's refurb back. Any company selling millions of devices will inevitably have some fail, but Apple's reliability and customer service are top of the industry. And that's backed by their position year-after-year at the top of customer satisfaction ratings.Had more than one ipod and one nano and know a ton of friends with iphones/macs/nano and ipod and would say 9 out of 10 had these problems.

Did you read the contract before signing it?Sure. That's what they keep saying.

For purposes of this discussion, you can consider me part of "they." It's coming sooner than later. Understandable on the texting, but it really is a different ball of wax. Carriers have dedicated equipment - BIG expensive equipment - to handle that traffic.Sure. That's what they keep saying.

If you are browsing via wifi, it won't show up on the home computer's internet history.However, the traffic still has to pass through a router and it *could* be logged there. Most home routers don't have this feature or it's disabled. However if your neighbor was a techie and running a more advanced router, he could easily see the traffic.
Two different things. Google sync is fine and adds contact synching, but you can't use Google Sync AND MS Exchange support for a work email account at the same time.CalDAV is calendars only and can be used alongside MS Exchange for work, which is how I have it set up.
