So I`m on my phone. This is all new territory for me, phone luddite because FEAR. But now I don`t have to talk on my phone so win. But a) why can`t I see blockquote formatting? and more irritatingly, b) why can`t I enter paragraph breaks? I`m textually verbose, y`all, you want me to have paragraph breaks.
Spike? It's you. It's really you! My therapist thought I was holding on to false hope, but…I knew you'd come back. You're like…you're like Gandalf the White, resurrected from the pit of the Balrog, more beautiful than ever. Oh…he's alive Frodo. He's alive.

Hee. And also obviously I can't get rid of the smart apostrophes. Hmm.
It's an LG ENV3, omnis. Not a smartphone, just a wannabe, but it's a big step up for me. Of course, Droid was available when I went in, and with Verizon's proprietary junk I wish I'd gone that direction instead. Just can't afford the extra required data plan.

I have no base of reference to help you with that one. Good luck.

From Slashdot: [link]
itwbennett writes "Google is giving you something to be thankful for as you travel this holiday season. The company announced today that it is offering free Wi-Fi at 47 airports across the US between now and January 15. If you haven't booked your flights yet, you want to factor this into your plans. Here's a list of the 47 airports, which cover about 35% of all US passengers, according to Google. The Burbank and Seattle airports will continue to offer the free Google Wi-Fi indefinitely."
The HuffPo notes another altruistic note in Google's gesture: "As another way to pass on the spirit of the season, once they log on to networks in any of the participating airports, travelers will have the option [of making] a donation to Engineers Without Borders, the One Economy Corporation, or the Climate Savers Computing Initiative. Google will match the donations made across all the networks up to $250,000, and the airport network that generates the highest amount per passenger by January 1, 2010 will receive $15,000 to donate to the local nonprofit of their choice."

Where do you come from? Where do you go? What is your scene, baby? We just gotta know.
is there a particular reason the 3GS doesn't charge while connected to itunes/my computer?
Do you have it plugged in directly to your computer, or are you using a USB hub?

not using a hub. just plugging the usb cord directly into the laptop.

tiggy, your usb port might not be powerful enough to charge the iphone.
