Video format test - iPod/iPhone format
As a filmmaker who's trying to make my films accessible to iPhone users, I previously posted some mac.com video pages here, but now I realize that the best way to post video for the iPhone is in iPod format, as a video podcast. Here's the corrected URL for the video, and videopodcast.
Can someone confirm that these work with your iPhone?
1) Download and watch the video in iPhone format
2) Subscribe via iTunes
thnx!

Language Test Request

will test whether the iPhone OS matches or falls short of the language display capabilities of OS X, if you compare what the browser shows with the graphic below. Any feedback would be useful.
As far as I know, the user interface and keyboard input for this version is English only.

Anyone Try any Flash Sites on iPhone?
Has anyone tried any Flash based websites to see what it looks like?
If anyone has any screen captures or photos of the iPhone viewing Flash sites, I'm interested to see what happens before I buy an iPhone. Thanks

Hows MEEBO holding up when loading AIM, Yahoo Messenger, and MSN at once? Hows the transcation delay between messages.
i can't speak to how it works with infiniti's, but it works perfectly with my bmw x3 - uploads the phonebook pretty quickly and can control everything through the steering wheel buttons and voice dial as well...
I'm curious how well it loads the hotmail or mobile hotmail websites. I've seen Safari on my Powermac have problems loading the mobile version of hotmail. As much as I dislike it, I'm still stuck using my hotmail address for a lot of corispondance. I'm wondering if anyone has tried them yet?
Ring/silent switch
I'm a bit perplexed by this. If the display is locked, and you have the thing in your pocket or a backpack, it seems like it would be easy for the switch to inadvertently get bumped, making the phone ring out loud when you don't intend for it to. Am I right on this, or is the switch locked out if the screen is locked?

First impressions..
I had a small freeze, music was playing while on home screen, wouldnt let me into anything, sleep / wake fixed it.
Typing is going to take me unlearn what ive already learned.
USB 1.0 syncing is taking awhile
TKIP wifi authentication worked.
Exchange server works, might be just cuz im on the domain's wifi, have to try off the domain.
XP / Outlook synced everything perfectly even while downloading and playing music and running Sophos update.
IT DOES flip both ways to landscape, not just counterclockwise like the ads.
Voicemail greeting setup volume was a little low, but I'm soft spoken.
Voicemail had me set a password but I assume its for remote retrieval only.
Can view txts and incoming calls while syncing as they arive.
Doesn't work w/o sim.
Youtube streamed while I was driving () crappy looking on edge but hey it worked.
Wifi hotspot also showed up in the middle of driving, ignored, you can turn this off.
Google maps work wonderfully over edge, given my experience with WM PPC 6700 on VZW, I was very impressed.
idk ill add some more later...
Update:
Built in call forwarding/waiting
show caller id
tty
exchange doesn't show up in the sync list, you have to add it manually (at least on outlook 03 on xp sp2)

Car Integration
FYI - I have a 2007 BMW 530i and it works flawlessly with my car's integrated bluetooth/speakerphone/addressbook (even all of my addresses come up on the screen in my car)!

The vibe/switch is actually kinda hard to switch, a woman might break a nail, not really but its pretty much almost recessed, I doubt it will switch by accident very often if at all.
So, this is emails and such that this applies too?
if so, that sucks! i guess, you wait to send big files unitl you're at your computer
Speakerphone seems a bit scratchy.
Keyboard is easy and can keep up w/ fast typing
Alarm - you can choose any combination of days
Can anyone tell me if there is any other way to get 'home' without hitting the big clunky button at the bottom (geesh has my mbp spoiled me or what? ) ?? Please tell me there is a shortcut stroke. I hate hitting that button everytime I want to nav back to the main menu

(And the size limit isn't really restrictive, since you can't send photos via text on the iPhone... yet).
I had a problem at first, until I entered my hex key as my password.
