And almost sixty-five percent of that was actual compliment. Is that a personal best?

Sean,

I think that tethering will strain the network and ATT doesn't want that. If the iphone had been less successful, they might be able to risk it, but having every Tom, Dick, and Harry out there tethering? We won't be able to make cell phone calls for days. Especially since iphone users typically use about 3-5X as much data as they average phone user already.

Technically, I have an unlocked Nokia phone that I use to tether on occasion (like a day here or there).

Sir, it's not an offence to let your cat eat your bacon. Okay? And we don't arrest cats, I'm very sorry.

So, no change to the 17" MacBook Pro besides a price reduction?

I do believe in killing the messenger, you know why? Because it sends a message. ~ Damon Salvatore

what exactly is tethering?

Using a cellphone as a modem for a laptop, etc.

Remember that the frontier of the Rebellion is everywhere. And even the smallest act of insurrection pushes our lines forward.

The other MacBook Pros now come with an SD Card slot, but the 17" still has an ExpressCard slot (for now, at least).

$299 for the 32GB phones! Want!

It's too bad that I'm saving up for one of these!

iPhone pricing from AT&T is... complicated.

omnis, pursue. That's an order from a shy woman who can use M-16. - Shir

I'm wanting one. Since I still have a 1st Gen Edge iPhone, I might be eligible for some discount. First, I need to pay for f2f. Then I need to see what the OS upgrade will do for my current iPhone. The sad thing is, with the $99 8gig 3G option, I won't get much for my Edge iPhone.

OK, a question pulled over from f2f wrt sharing pics as they happen, or nearly so. I have an iPhone. I found a free app that can upload to flickr (assuming this is the best way to share with everyone). So, for those more flickr savvy, if I create a set that Flickit (the iphone app) can access to post the pics to, and I batch edit to "share with group", does that share the set with the group at this moment, or as I post things?

eta OK, I did a little experiment, I created a set, added one photo, shared (all from the computer). THEN, I added a photo from the iPhone into *my* set. It doesn't seem to be in the Buffista group photostream. (ftr, first shot is me in my Jayne hat, second shot is the scoreboard of the scene shop kitty and it's hunting abilities. If anyone see's it, let me know!)
