Re: iPhone 3.0 Discussion

I've seen similar benchmarks in other reviews. My impression is the Pre is slightly slower than the iPhone. But they are close as they're using the same core web software.

Re: iPhone 3.0 Discussion

This is a dumb question, but...does the iPhone turn itself on and do audible alarms for calendar events?

Re: iPhone 3.0 Discussion

The iPhone will not automatically turn itself on (from powered off)
and remind you of events, but yes, from a sleep state, it will indeed
alert you of iCal appointments with audio.

iPhone really works well with Mac. It synchs perfectly with email,
iCal and Address book. Get MobileMe and you REALLY have a device
that synchs itself across the board.

Not sure if people want or need this, but my work is a Microsoft shop (Microsoft Exchange)....who isn't? Anyway, I didn't want to pay the extra fee for Exchange Server support on my iPhone data plan, I went with the standard $30. So I was successfully able to get my work email working on the iPhone by using IMAP, but one thing I was bummed out about was not getting my Outlook Calendar sync'd to my iPhone. I don't set up iLife (iCal and Mail) to sync up with the Exchange server because I have thousands of emails (due to work requirements) and I don't want all of those downloaded to my Mac HD, which sync'ing will make it do.

So my challenge was how to sync w/ my Calendar in Outlook without sync'ing to the Exchange server.

The answer? I found Google has an Outlook Calendar Sync tool, I downloaded it to my work PC, and it syncs my work calendar to my Google calendar (attached to my Google Mail account), and then I set up iCal to sync w/ my Google calendar. It's a bit of a workaround, but I use both my Mac and my PC everyday so the sync happens pretty regularly, but not instantaneous, and the data isn't pushed to the iPhone, I have to update it via the Mac.

I posted this in the 3GS thread by mistake and meant to post it here in the iPhone OS 3.0 thread.  Forgot which thread I was in.

Apparently the beta of the iPhone 3.1 software has been seeded to developers and using Voice Control over Bluetooth headsets is supported in the 3.1 OS.  Yay!
