Got a question about technology? Ask it here. Discussion of hardware, software, TiVos, multi-region DVDs, Windows, Macs, LINUX, hand-helds, iPods, anything tech related. Better than any helpdesk!

I am a woman of various inclinations and only some of the time are they to burn everything down in frustration
It works! Pretty nicely. You have to download the free Nike+ iPod app (or possibly you can just turn on Nike + iPod in Settings, I did both), but you don't need the dongle that the Nano does. You do need the sensor in your shoe (or on your laces). You can upload your run as soon as you are finished AND look at the nikerunning mobile site right there on the phone, immediate gratification FTW. I didn't try the heart rate band so I don't know that works, yet.
I actually meant to try out the Nike+ GPS app, but having the free "native" iPod app confused me...tomorrow...
Anyway, short answer, I like it. If you do go Nike+, I am TamaraS on there for exercise networking purposes.

thanks! I'm going to check it out after I buy the thing this weekend. I'll add you once I'm on there.

omnis, pursue. That's an order from a shy woman who can use M-16. - Shir
seems iOS 5 has the ability to change the vibration sequence for individual callers. You can even record your own patterns. Alas, it doesn't look like you can assign custom buzz sequences for text, voice mail, calendar alerts. A partial win. Maybe with the next update.
Anyhow, it's something you turn on in the Settings/General/Accessibility section. And then edit the contact in your address book and you can select which vibration tone you want for that caller.

I was playing around with that today. It's pretty amusing.
So, best idea ever or best idea ever: Siri (aka Skynet) operating like Tom Tom, so that Stephen Fry could tell me in a lovely posh voice that my text has been sent?

So any recommendations on what to look for in a wireless router? I have a small apartment, so a huge range isn't necessary, but I want it to be fast. How much should I expect to spend for a decent one?

I just bought this one: [link]
And have been very happy with it's speed. There are five or six devices on it at any given time, and it hasn't suffered in speed or use.

That one looks good and reasonably priced!

I got this one recently: [link]
It was cheaper when I bought it, but it has worked better with my Tivo than any router I've had previously.

Hey. New board.
ita, you mentioned you were running through a Lifehacker list for best Android apps. Could you give me a link to that? I have a hard time finding anything using their search feature.
I have started using Swype again, mostly because I installed a new custom ROM (running MIUI - very, very pretty - and with a custom kernel that appears to have approximately doubled my battery life) and lost the HTC keyboard so I was trying a variety of replacements. I am doing better with it now, though I still have to correct a bit more than I'd like, but I'll try it for a few more days and see how I fare.
