you dont need flash to do anything. websites should start using javascript. everything on that website is javascript and javascript only. no flash whatsoever.
Right. Like Apple will suddenly convince them to drop Flash just for the iPhone. I don't thnk so. ;-)
Question. I know Flash, HTML/5, CSS, I don't know javascript. However, in glancing over javascript, what is the difference between javascript and Actionscript 3? They seem similar.
Edit contacts phone-wide
One thing that I have noticed is that you now have the ability to edit contacts in the Phone app. It was annoying when you used the phone app, clicked a contact, and you weren't able to edit it. They have added aN 'edit' button so that you can edit your contacts outside of the Contacts App.

I think I'm the only one who likes the Felt Marker font in Notes...
I like it so much that I downloaded it onto my MBP to use in my sticky notes lol
Uhh... Unless I'm missing something, the Marker Felt font was already on my MacBook as far as I know.
I just wish when rotating in iPod mode, Cover Flow didn't exit you out of a playlist and default to "all Albums". What's wrong with a cover flow depicting only the album tracks in that playlist??
Still waiting
I'm not impressed, yet...
Apple needs to lift the limit on Apps and make organizing & navigating apps easier. There was something developed by a company back in the last millennia called folders or directories. Something like that...
Another thing we need is better data entry, copy, cut, paste, short cut data entry, etc. I should be able to enter *w@ and have it enter my email address where * is some special short cut key and then you type a sequence that triggers the entry. Old tech. Also on each type of field the right data keys should be available. This switching between keyboards is a hassle.

Anyone know if any companies have released app's that use the Push Notification service? Kind of a pre release package to do traffic modeling with the potential dev traffic. I wanted to get an idea of how it works before comitting server resource and coding an app that uses it.
Totally AMAZING...I already posted ALL of these finds and now MR thinks its important??? My 100 Features covers everyone of these items and they have been released through all 3 stages of the beta so far. MR...you should give your own posters credit before posting OLD NEWS, just cause they have pretty pictures!
Many of your regulars and I have listed, validated and tested at least 40+ new features of the 100 stated. Its alright fellow posters...at least I thanked you and gave credit where credit was due but I guess were just not newsworthy enough!

Java is slow.
So many things are done with flash now and since a massive majority isn't using iphone for thier internet experiences, no way in hell that java will replace flash. Long live flash!
Nobody said anything about java. Javascript and Java are two completely different programming languages that have next to nothing to do with each other. You shouldn't say anything if you don't know what you're talking about.
Maybe, in 2 or 3 years, perhaps, some websites will transition to that.
But NOW, TODAY, with many many websites - Flash is required. Anyone pretending otherwise is delusional.
Those are hostile and fanboyish? I don't know, sounds like people voicing their opinions to me. Perhaps not altogether realistic, but this is MacRumors... some Apple bias is to be expected. If people are excited about the iPhone, and the iPhone brings people into the Apple--and perhaps, eventually, the Mac--fold, I think that's a ultimately a good thing. Just my opinion, take it as you will. My other opinion that over the years my Mac experience has consistently gotten better and better, including the post-Apple Computers, Inc. era.
Side note
This is a side note, but every time I use Flash, my computer heats up, the fans spin like crazy, and everything else gets a little slower.
Someone (maybe the JavaScript people) could do a study of how much energy (and money) Flash wastes compared to a competing newish standard like JavaScript. I have to guess it would be a LOT. It would be a nice marketing ploy, too.

Which, I'm sad to say, seems to be entirely Apple's fault, as they provide no support to Adobe for hardware acceleration of the technology, because Apple wants to get rid of flash with javascript and quicktime.
Seems to
Alright... So it seems to work higher you go the faster (as with songs) lower the finer (as with songs) but it does not tell you what speed you are on, at least not for me, or not yet.
Hope i helped
