Here is an observation.
You cannot access iTunes over 3G, still only WiFi... I was hoping this would change so you can get any song you want. Beggers can't be choosers.

That's strange. I thought they said it would be available. Maybe that was the App Store. If the App Store is available over 3G you'd think so would the iTunes store. Maybe it will open up on 3G with App Store release.
In the original postings when I had it yesterday I posted some pics. Search for my user name you should find them.
Here's hoping!
Also, to answer someone's question from last night, you still cannot change the sound of email.
You are the man. Do you know if you can buy mobile me at the ATT store? Thanks for your updates. you are making me want even more each time you post something http://images.macrumors.com/vb/images/icons/icon10.gif
The record labels wont allow it unless Apple gives them a bigger cut. This has been reported on before.
Would changing the sound of email be something that 3rd party apps could conquer?
3rd parties are not allowed outside their sandbox, and cant change system settings.
As lame as it is, it shouldn't be surprising. Since the App Store was announced that was known. It was kind of why people just assumed the Installer.app would still exist. For when you need system apps that Apple won't approve.
Hey Phightin, how is the GPS signal when you go in cars/buildings? Oh, can you send SMS messages to it yet? I wonder how fast the SMS interface is when you have a conversation with 1000+ messages in it.
Could this setting be over-ridden in any other aspect?
edit: I know it's a knit-picky question.

Unfortunately not.
As Archie- explained, 3rd party applications bought or downloaded from the app store will run in thier own secure environment called a 'sand-box'.
All the application's immediate resources are to remain in that sand-boxed environment.
The application(s) will however, be able to interact with the existing APIs within iPhone OS 2.0,
i.e. the phone.app, and the image picker.
They will not have access to the system root or the processes associated with it.

I used the Yellow Pages app on the Curve and loved it. It was mad convenient. You were able to look up anything and get directions to it using the GPS.
Can you possibly tell me if a message in Meebo or another message application counts as a Text or on the data plan??
I know its a dumb question, but my ATT rep was ADAMANT that it is a text and seemed ridiculous to me. Maybe he was trying to sell me the text plan.

The store I am at confirmed they are getting white, but for security purposes didn't disclose how many.
I answered this already.
GPS in buildings not great, I can't test it in my car. They wont let me leave with it. (Understandable) I would image if I am getting shotty signal in doors it will work in the car quite nicely
As I mentioned before you can turn the GPS off and on. I answered this also.

Can't answer this. If its a webapp then it wont cost as a text. I speculate that with the native AIM app they will be charged as text since that is how AT&T works it... however, again... I use the word speculate here.
