true, but you'll see a small benefit at the far ends of your house even
if you're using g. on the other hand, if you live in a small apartment,
it won't matter.

i don't have an iphone 4, but 802.11n is definitely faster even if it's
restricted to 2.4 ghz, plus you get a whole lot of other benefits in an
iphone 4, in addition to the wifi. also, the cellular radios are
faster, especially on uplink.

****! I just came from a Livestation chat room and it was the MUSLIMS
all pissed because I asked why a few million Muslims praying 8 times a
day for Allah to stop the rains drowning Pakistan....never delivers on
any prayers no matter how many millions pray no matter how many times a
day...... Aljazeera just had another alert of more flooding!

Why is Pakistan, a very devout religious country, drowning in floods any
ol' powerful, all-seeing god could stop with the flick of his mouse
finger?

Man, that got 'em hoppin' mad! You're not supposed to ask questions
like, "Why can't god grow a new leg?"

No questions that require a real answer are permitted!

****** atheists, anyways....

Updating FW will unjailbreak, but I never had any problem updating any
Itunes before.

It might run on both platforms, but need at least 3.2 (in other words,
it might run on iPad 3.2 or iPhone iOS 4.0)

You won't normally see an iPad only app on an iPhone, AppStore doesn't
list them and iTunes won't install them.

Using old iPhone as an iPod touch-like device.

Don't know why -- but today it is working. I did nothing differently.
Put the phone down the other day after trying over and over. Picked it up
tonight... tapped Safari and boom... there we are.

Don't know what was going on -- but glad to know I can now use it as an
iTouch (basically as in inside XM server -- through my iHome.) Now I
don't need to buy a separate radio!

Thanks everyone for your help.

Gotta be JB.... tons of apps that do what you want. Cydia features SSH
which allows you to see into your mysterious device, via USB or WiFi, that
Apple wants to keep secret.

You don't want to "manage" any of those. At best, you can read/look at
them. But because everything is linked into some XML files, deleting am
SMS file would cause the iphone to detect an error because of a missing
file because some other file would continue to point to the new
non-existent file.

If you jailbreak your phone, you can SSH into it and use the "LS"
command to get to the contents. There is also an appletalk deamon which
allows you to mount the iphone on your Mac at which point, you can see
the whole file system via finder and use the plist editor to change
plists files onthe iphone.

I'm pretty sure that was meant to be a joke ... although it wasn't much of
one since Helen Clark is really a man (just look at any photo and you'd
find it difficult to believe that is a woman!). ;-)

Sounds about right ... replacing one useless greedy dipstick with another
useless greedy dipstick. :-(
