The thing is, audible book bookmarking on the iPhone is inconsistant. Sure, it remembers the place if I simply stop listening and do something else on the iPhone, but where the wonkiness appears is SYNCING the iPhone, it will sometimes wish to jump to an earlier bookmark, or forget your place entirely.

And I'm not sure what variation is causing the bookmarks not to hold. The way I stop listening to Audiobooks on the iPhone? The particular File Format downloaded from Audible or iTunes? (I have audilble books through both, it seems that the ones direct from Audible might hold their bookmarks better. Is is iTunes pointing towards another Audible File Format?) Or it could just be what iTunes decides to sync during syncing; I most frequently sync for Podcast updates.

I'm about to Sync the iPhone, and this time, I used the notes app to write down exactly where I was in the book (bought on iTunes). We will see if any bookmarking holds where it should. It is often the case that a previous bookmark might come up instead. Maybe it is something like App Upgrades that sometimes pull an iPhone Back Up that is messing up the iPhone audio bookmarking, pulling up some previous spot in the book where I have stopped.

In a 28 hour book, bookmarking is important. It is an issue.

I have yet to see a proper troubleshooting of the problem.
No, he doesn't need to be banned from games. He just needs to be banned from frivolous lawsuits. Can't he be tossed in the pokey or fined for contempt of court or something?
Never NEEDED to -send- any MMS (one can still not be 100 percent sure if the receiving end will get them) but sure had a lot sent to me.

Beyond the fears of bandwidth for the MMS channel, and Apple thinking it was probably pretty unnecessary to have MMS in a phone with email for photos), I think this was probably AT&Ts way of keeping their crown jewel smartphone out of the pool of 'plays nice with other carriers' data requests.
Usually flawless, but the only experience I have had is with ATT hotspots.

But I have had a couple of issues, It appears to connect, but can often get no traffic once 'connected'. Or obviously, is just not pulling down a webpage at all via safari, just a spinning wheel of wait. That has happened Twice, and I have merely turned off wifi and gone to 3g instead.

Which makes me think it may be an ATT wifi hotspot identification issue occasionally (This used to be a back and forth SMS handshake to even log on).

It may be a way for developers to put the screws to Sony regarding their wishes for Sonys various platforms to succeed. It might be nudging a grey area in their contracts and any exclusivity to redevelop a game that was a huge hit in the past for another platform.
Too bad Sirius stopped carrying programming I gave a damn about in the first moves to merge with XM.
If you run software update while Safari is open, as most of us probably do, it will apparently auto install, without a problem. But has it installed? I couldn't stop the install once it started, although I should have been prompted to quit Safari before it tried.

I figure it will actually install when I restart
Peeps are chick shaped blobs, not rabbit shaped cutouts.
I still use Fuel Gauge. Simply because it gets to the data entry in less clicks. I like the analysis Cubby offers, but the interface complexity adds too many steps, so I do not use it.
Stereomaker does same without red blue trick, you just fuse the two images into a third by focusing your eyes past the screen. As it turns out, iPhone us just about ergonomically perfect for this
Let the hive mind of Engadget get that for you.
"I have a MacBook Pro and an Xbox 360 and I would like to get a 20- to 24-inch display that will support both devices. The speakers should be inbuilt, or there should be an aux out on the display to hook up external speakers. Help! Please!"
