Is there a 3G-compatible car charger with Apple Bluetooth headset charger built-in yet?

anyone tried netshare?

2 Across is a really good crossword puzzle app where you can download puzzles past and present from the WSJ, the NYT (with subscription), the Onion, thinks.com and several other places.

The one thing not explained properly is how to enter a word. If you tap twice really fast, that brings out the typewriter. You can also also customize what is revealed, checked, and what isn't at your own leisure. There. Have fun.

Just downloaded netshare - will try tonight.

seems a bit pricey

Every sudoku game reviewed

Well, short answer is it works (NetShare). A bit of a pain to set up, and not something that I would use all the time (especially since the connection dies whenever the phone goes to sleep), but good in a pinch, and FAST on 3G.

and FAST on 3G

Really? How fast? Where are you located?

NetShare's off the store here again.

Have bought that Google Reader app; is much better than NNW, and also has a stab at doing the Instapaper thing via Google notebook. Nice.

I'm in San Francisco. Not sure exactly how fast, but it felt way faster than when I tethered to my old SE EDGE phone over USB. Almost like DSL.

The frickin' store gateway is annoying. Apps that I buy can disappear? Lame.

has anyone got the rpg VAY??

(sequel to OY?)

has anyone got the rpg VAY??

It was terrible when I played it on Sega CD.

ugh someone let me know if netshare ever comes back. totally slept on it :(

What I don't understand is what happens if I sync my apps now? Does it go away?

nobody's sure, and nobody's syncing!

has anyone got the rpg VAJAYJAY?

If stuff I paid for disappears, I smell a class action suit...

^^^ erin brockovich over here

Now I know just what it feels like to get cancer from a polluting refinery.

i know i keep complaining about this but is netnewswire just COMPLETELY broken for anyone else? like, stalls out and crashes all the time, can't even scroll through feeds?

I think I'll buy an iPhone just for Shazam.

NNW is fine here.

A software update (2.0.1) is ready for downloading.

245Mb! That's TWICE my monthly work quota.

NNW fine here too. I am ADDICTED to Labyrinth.

I'm noticing overall snappiness and improved battery life with 2.0.1 but that may just be wishful thinking.

Backup don't arf take forbloodyever.

maybe i'll delete NNW and re-download it.

or maybe i have too many feeds.

can you collapse them folders yet?

i also gotta say, apple's gonna have to do something about apps that take a long time to load/download data. kinda annoying to have to keep making sure hte phone hasn't gone to sleep.

or will the push server fix that??

maybe i'll delete NNW and re-download it

twice now it's crashed on me horribly and refused to reload my feeds page (see above). the first time (v1.0) i had to remove it and re-download it; the second i just changed my username to xxxxxxx in settings.app, which forced it to reload, then went back and put my proper username back in.

it's the one app i use the most, and i'm fundamentally very happy with it. i mean, it was fucking FREE, and i now rely on it every single morning.

working a bit better but syncing is still funky.

i removed a lot of feeds from my iphone list on the newsgator website but it didn't remove them from my phone. really didn't want to click through every one to delete them on the phone itself.

also... WHY NO COLLAPSIBLE FOLDERS. WHY

also... WHY NO COLLAPSIBLE FOLDERS. WHY

For Cthulhu's sake dude, if you bothered to read any of his change notes, feature requests, and postings on the NNW support forums you'll see that IT'S IN THE WORKS. (along with my feature request which is to be able to read in landscape mode)

Brent is pretty active in posting in the NNW forums and his own support blog when he's not, you know, actually coding

well he shouldn't be wasting his time posting to forums and blogs.

I've given up on NNW. The syncing's just too funky between it, NNW Mac, FeedDemon and Newsgator. Byline ftw.

Apps redownload for free.

excellent, been meaning to ask for that :)

really?

Aye. The read/unread statuses aren't reliable, sometimes clippings don't appear properly, and NNW iPhone has 0 support for flags or re-reading read stories.

And NNW Mac plays the fuck up if unread statuses change while it's open.

is the purpose of Byline so that you can read your Google Reader feeds while offline? The app description leaves me unclear about that. Because for online reading the iPhone Google Reader page seems good to me.

Yeh, it's an offline client for Google Reader -- it also stores the entire web page of starred items, and any pages noted in yr google notebook. I prefer it to the webpage for online, too.

Anyway, if you've got NNW issues you're much better off reading/posting here:

and distract the dude even more?

Anyone Jailbreak their iPhone 3G? A friend of mine is liking the Intelliscreen thingie.

hmm backing up doesn't seem that much better.

plus, when i closed itunes and re-started it a second later, it mounted the phone again and... urgh... BACKED IT UP AGAIN. it didn't realize it had just done that like 5 minutes before?

also in my list of "app updates" now there's two of everything. like doubles.

yes, the app-update thing seems to be fucked. i'm trying to ignore it.
