Go ahead and feel bad for me too. I've owned three versions of the iPhone since its inception and only now have heard of this feature.

I have a question. One of the features is being able to play videos within the browser without taking you away from it but every time I click on a YouTube video it still takes me away. Do I have to change some kind of setting or call apple or what?
I have an iPad also and I love that feature so I'm curiou

Yeah, I thought it would be like on the iPad also, but i think it is just not going into the YouTube app to play the clip. It used to leave safari when playing YouTube clips. Now it stays in safari, but still plays clips full screen. U can see thus because closing YouTube in task switcher when video is playing in safari, the video will still be loaded in safari. Definitely an improvement over the old method.
Don't feel too bad. It's turned off by default, you have to enable it under settings/keyboard/enable caps lock/on.
I just noticed that if you want to make a FaceTime call with someone in your contacts, the FaceTime icon will have the movie camera picture next to it if the person is currently on WiFi and can accept FaceTime calls. Otherwise, if they aren't currently able to accept FaceTime calls, they will just have the Facetime button without the movie camera image next to it.
Emoji for folder names
I never thought to do this until today, but you can name your folders using emoji icons. So I heeled out and gave them all appropriate icons for the contents of the folder.
Tried to post a screenshot from my iPhone, this was the best I could come up with.

dunno if this feature has been posted yet:
if you tap and hold any point of a map, a dropped pin appears in that place

not true i'm afraid.
one of my contacts currently has the camera logo showing in the facetime button, and their phone is currently switched off.
yeah, i was really looking forward to that.. i guess apple decided they didn't want it in 4.0
What are you talking about??? No one said anything about flash.....
You were able to play videos without opening the youtube/quicktime app in the 4.0 beta..
Here's a screenshot:

At the very least they could add the A-Z vertically like there is on the contacts list. When you have a couple thousand sounds on there it takes FOREVER to scroll to the one you want to add.
"Events, Faces and Places in the Photo Menu
If you are an iPhoto user, you can now sync pics to the iPhone (and iPad) via Events, Faces and Places, meaning less reliance on the artificial act of creating new albums."
How come I don't see the Event and Faces icon on the bottom of the Photo menu, all I see is Album and Places? Is it because I'm still using older version of iPhoto on my Mac?

"Double-Tap and Hold Brings Up Phone Favorites
Not our favorite hidden secret, the beloved Phone Favorites shortcut has been demoted. Instead of the double tapwhich now brings up the task manageryou have to double-tap and hold. Single-tap holding of course triggers Voice Control."
How come this is not working for me? Nothing happening when I do this?

I know someone already called you an idiot, seeing as there is a lot of pages between post 55 and the last page. If for some reason not a soul has, I will call you an idiot to be complete.
Yes, the idea of free RAM being wasted RAM has merit, however, that is not saying that RAM should never be free. No free RAM means all the apps are fighting for any RAM that frees up. On the iPhone, with no multitasking it is not as much a problem(wait, it has multitasking, both native and non-native). Now my email program, MMS, etc, all want o eat up extra space, so you never get your full potential.
Depending on how aggressive the caching is, is can actually be detrimental to the running of the computer. In the case of Apple and the iOS4, I feel they are very close to that point, if not already there.

If you are referring to the Favorites shortcut, mine is not working either. I was able to use the shortcut a few days ago, though.

Hmmm, Can you explain that a bit further? I can't replicate that on my 3GS in iOS 4, though I only have the camera roll folder; I don't have any synced picture folders on there right now.
I'm a frequent lurker and I usually don't post, but I had to chime and say that this is incorrect. Data that has been prefetched and not yet used will exist in a clean state in memory --- it can be accessed quickly, but won't have to be written out if some other app needs that space. This gets you the benefit of both worlds --- low access latencies when the data being accessed has already been prefetched and the same access latency as when nothing is in ram when the prefetched data has to be replaced with an 'on-demand' load. In cases where the data is 'dirty' and needs to be written back to stable storage, the write can be done while leaving the data in memory.
So, in many cases, free RAM *is* wasted RAM.
