Well not canonically, no, but this is transformative fiction.

I need a headpiece. Handson phone ticket is 159$. My current Bluetooth doohickey breaks apart in my purse. The ear piece comes off. I'd like something a but more strong. So I'm looking for something to connect to a Android G2 that's more durable than a Jawbone. I guess I could do wired, if it does wired.

Any suggestions?

Also, will a cop ding me if they see me fiddle with the phone for GPS? How can they tell the difference from out there?

So if my first-gen Touch's battery is dead - it won't hold a charge for long, but it works fine while it's plugged in - that's something that's fixed by replacement, right?

All is well that ends in pizza.

I'd probably replace the battery but it's not something for the faint of heart.

It would be fun to try, tho...

Wow, that looks really finicky and difficult.

mr. flea replaced the battery in a 1st gen iPod several years ago. He found it fun, but he's That Guy. I wouldn't have done it, myself!

t, for what it's worth, it's really worth upgrading to a 4th gen iTouch -- I did, and the Retina display screen alone is worth it!!! Plus it has more features, better battery life, and all that.

I'm planning to "upgrade" my phone to an iPhone in December, so I was hoping to keep the Touch working for that long. Everything that the instructions warn you to be careful and not break, I would break. Fiddly bits are not my strong suit.

That service is a lot more reasonably priced than I expected, le nubian, thanks!

And then Ortus came and said "It's Ortin' time" and they all Orted off into the sunset

I have what is probably a very stupid question. If I'm syncing my iPhone with iPhoto *and* keeping the phone's camera roll (not deleting the photos that have been imported), am I storing those pics on the phone twice? Or is it smart enough to know not to reimport its own photos?
