Shows how much you know. iPhone OS has supported 802.1x since OS 2.0. We're up to 3.1.3, but of course, you already knew that.]]>Feb 24th 2010 6:46AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2010/02/24/iphone-3gs-mod-ditches-plastic-cover-in-favor-of-titanium-vestme/http://www.engadget.com/2010/02/24/iphone-3gs-mod-ditches-plastic-cover-in-favor-of-titanium-vestme/
This is a pretty cool mod. I have to say though as a 3gs owner (I'm typing this on it right now) it's a good phone but it is not deserving of the phone of the year title.]]>Feb 24th 2010 7:23AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2010/02/24/iphone-3gs-mod-ditches-plastic-cover-in-favor-of-titanium-vestme/http://www.engadget.com/2010/02/24/iphone-3gs-mod-ditches-plastic-cover-in-favor-of-titanium-vestme/
I still think it is the best phone out there right now. Although I don't think it will last as king once all these new android phones hit.

I use my IPhone everyday and use my computer a lot less. It has truly changed the landscape of smartphone use. It is an amazing, device albeit with a few flaws. To not recognize this is a display of ignorance.]]>Feb 24th 2010 7:36AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2010/02/24/iphone-3gs-mod-ditches-plastic-cover-in-favor-of-titanium-vestme/http://www.engadget.com/2010/02/24/iphone-3gs-mod-ditches-plastic-cover-in-favor-of-titanium-vestme/I don't like the iPhone because I didn't like the way it felt when I first held it. Didn't feel very comfortable to hold.. :P

OS is a completely different issue. Not too comfortable with that either. And i'm a hardcore techie.. :D]]>Feb 24th 2010 7:41AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2010/02/24/iphone-3gs-mod-ditches-plastic-cover-in-favor-of-titanium-vestme/http://www.engadget.com/2010/02/24/iphone-3gs-mod-ditches-plastic-cover-in-favor-of-titanium-vestme/
ugh...no, you don't need anything. 802.1x authentication is there (at least on 3.1)]]>Feb 24th 2010 9:22AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2010/02/24/iphone-3gs-mod-ditches-plastic-cover-in-favor-of-titanium-vestme/http://www.engadget.com/2010/02/24/iphone-3gs-mod-ditches-plastic-cover-in-favor-of-titanium-vestme/
802.1x using a username/password can be done on the iPhone itself, but if you want to use certificates you need to do it using the desktop utility.]]>Feb 24th 2010 9:44AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2010/02/24/iphone-3gs-mod-ditches-plastic-cover-in-favor-of-titanium-vestme/http://www.engadget.com/2010/02/24/iphone-3gs-mod-ditches-plastic-cover-in-favor-of-titanium-vestme/Feb 24th 2010 10:03AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2010/02/24/iphone-3gs-mod-ditches-plastic-cover-in-favor-of-titanium-vestme/http://www.engadget.com/2010/02/24/iphone-3gs-mod-ditches-plastic-cover-in-favor-of-titanium-vestme/
And in what corporate rollout where they need certificates wouldn't they be imaging the phones themselves (with the cert) anyway?

The entire point is moot.]]>Feb 24th 2010 10:10AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2010/02/24/iphone-3gs-mod-ditches-plastic-cover-in-favor-of-titanium-vestme/http://www.engadget.com/2010/02/24/iphone-3gs-mod-ditches-plastic-cover-in-favor-of-titanium-vestme/WinMoRulez!!!!!]]>Feb 24th 2010 10:24AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2010/02/24/iphone-3gs-mod-ditches-plastic-cover-in-favor-of-titanium-vestme/http://www.engadget.com/2010/02/24/iphone-3gs-mod-ditches-plastic-cover-in-favor-of-titanium-vestme/
It is? Then why do certificates work on a NON-IMAGED palm, windows mobile, blackberry, or symbian device without the use of a desktop app? iSuck just can't do alot of things, Apple dictates the rules.]]>Feb 24th 2010 10:34AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2010/02/24/iphone-3gs-mod-ditches-plastic-cover-in-favor-of-titanium-vestme/http://www.engadget.com/2010/02/24/iphone-3gs-mod-ditches-plastic-cover-in-favor-of-titanium-vestme/

Ι only hope they won't make it with chromium...]]>Feb 24th 2010 7:33AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2010/02/24/iphone-3gs-mod-ditches-plastic-cover-in-favor-of-titanium-vestme/http://www.engadget.com/2010/02/24/iphone-3gs-mod-ditches-plastic-cover-in-favor-of-titanium-vestme/
Don't worry. Apple will usurp the patent real quick, but with a much cheaper metal. After all, they don't want to charge up the wazoo on their stylish products.

Heh...

Apple's invested a ton of hours I'm sure for their phone casing. I'd be surprised if it was plastic again. Interested to see if they'll retake the lead for hardware quality or if HTC and the like will be equal.]]>Feb 24th 2010 10:12AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2010/02/24/iphone-3gs-mod-ditches-plastic-cover-in-favor-of-titanium-vestme/http://www.engadget.com/2010/02/24/iphone-3gs-mod-ditches-plastic-cover-in-favor-of-titanium-vestme/

Not sure about that.

Pure titanium metal can exist as a dark gray, shiny metal or as a dark gray powder. It has a melting point of 1,677°C (3,051°F) and a boiling point of 3,277°C (5,931°F). Its density is 4.6 grams per cubic centimeter. Titanium metal is brittle when cold and can break apart easily at room temperature. At higher temperatures, it becomes malleable and ductile. Malleable means capable of being hammered into thin sheets. Ductile means capable of being drawn into thin wires.

Titanium has an interesting physical property. Small amounts of oxygen or nitrogen, make it much stronger.
