Right. I could open them in photoshop, edit the color, and resave them as PDFs, but I'm not sure if it would work or not. I think it would still fubar the text. I'd save them high-res, though.

I'm pretty sure it doesn't require root.

It's the GPS I was saying needed root, not anything to do with Google Voice.

One called "Set Call Variables" just sets two variable called "%LASTCALLTIME" and "%LASTNUMBER"

So it's not just "twice in ten", it's "twice successively in ten"?

Yes. If somebody else tries to call me, then it gets FUBARed. A fair point, as that might be a problem in an emergency. Hmm.

To do better, I'd have to keep an array of the last time each person called me, then do a lookup on the array to get the last time called... that might not be viable.

ETA: I think I could do it, actually, with the Array Push and Array Pop commands. But I don't think it's worth it. My current system should catch it.

I'm seriously considering jumping from iPhone to Android on my next upgrade (after realizing that I've replaced nearly ALL of the native apps with Google equivalents anyway).

Is there any way to sync an Android phone with iTunes? That's the only Apple thing I'd really miss.

I use Doubletwist to sync mine--I don't know if there's a Windows version, but I'd assume there's an equivalent.

I'm interested: why are you thinking of making the jump?

no, I don't think you can sync android with itunes, but android has other music/video syncing programs.

why are you thinking of making the jump?

Because I'm already using Google replacements for almost all of the native Apple apps. I don't like Mail, I use a Gmail shortcut. Ditto Maps. I prefer Chrome to Safari. I use Downcast instead of iTunes for podcasts (not Google, but still not native Apple).

Oh shit, iPhoto, that's the other one I use. Is there a good way to back up photos to a Mac on an Android phone?

I see what you mean. but aren't you still committed to the apple store ecosystem anyway?

Note: I don't think I use the native apple apps much at all, but I do use a fair number of apple store only apps.

I'll be interested to hear more of your journey if you decide to move in that direction. There might be some blogs out there of people who made the switch.

I'm not sure how many of the apps I use are only available for iOS - I should check. Having to buy all new apps would be moderately expensive, if I decided to replace everything.

With Jason Howell! Who I've been a fan of since his CNET days. Still miss Gadgettes.

Is there a good way to back up photos to a Mac on an Android phone?

My backup is that my devices upload photos to Dropbox automatically so it has that effect--I don't know enough about how iPhones do their magic to say if it's a one for one equivalent, though.
