iPhone goodness

Well since Apple lowered the price of the iPhone I went and grabed one. Its pretty nice. Still no vcards =( but I got an IM client for it so that makes me happy. Now I need to find a twitter app...

Oh yea this was sent via my iPhone.

Google = Bad Deal

My last post was about how the iPhone doesn't allow you to download vcards from the internet. Within a day I was #1 in Google for the search "iphone vcard". It was also picked up by Jaiku. The listing in Google however has since vanished. Censorship? From Apple perhaps? But wait Google shouldn't be doing that... Come now Google. I like you I really do. But why have you removed a post from your index simply stating that a function for the iPhone isn't there?

Sad sad...

I fully suspect that my blogger account will get disabled after this and my entire site to get black listed. *sigh*

iPhone + vCard = Bad Deal

Let me preface this with: I'm not a Mac hater or lover. If something is good I'll use it and thats it, nothing else.

So I've been thinking about getting a fancy new iPhone for a while now. Its really because all the cool kids are doing it. One of the things holding me back is this simple question: can the iPhone use vCards downloaded from email and websites?

Sadly after about 30 mins talking with one of Apple's live help person, I finally got an answer. No dice... Now I don't doubt that the iPhone actually uses vCards to manage the transfer between the the phone and the programs like Outlook and Entourage since thats how the iPods do it. So it seems that it would use them but in a VERY restricted fashion...

So now since Apple in their infinite wisdom has decided to exclude this seemingly basic functionality, they have lost a customer. For now that is...
