lol this is the only Apple product that I own.
I would never buy an iMac or anything else from Apple because I hate the OS. The components inside are all made by the same manufacturers anyway lol. |

After 1 million downloads in 2 days, Skype is kicking ass worldwide. T-Mobile wants to ban Skype in Germany ... Regardless if it's 3G and Wifi connections. If they're successfully achive in their plans, anyone who use some type of walk around willhave their contracts cancelled.
I thought Rogers was bad, this is pretty mean tbh. Even though I assume Rogers banned Skype from Canada, that maybe true or not. By law, any phone hardware or software must have access to 911, but Skype doesn't. |

this is only gonna add fuel to the fire on the whole net neutrality debate... it's clear that operators want to block certain legit services under the guise of "network/bandwidth management" when they know full well they should be investing in adding capacity to service growing demand.
It'll be interesting to see how this all plays out.. in the meantime, thank heaven for hacking!

T-Mobile Germany Banning Skype for iPhone
We in the U.S. love to complain. Take this week's introduction of Skype for the iPhone. The mobile VoIP client appears to be a pretty solid offering, letting you not only chat with your Skype buddies, but also make voice calls -- as long as you're using the Wi-Fi connection, a stipulation Apple had pointed out way back in March 2008 when it first unveiled the iPhone SDK. (Also see PCWorld.com's review.)
That didn't stop the barrage of complaints that the ban on 3G was arbitrary and designed only to support AT&T's business model. Which, to be fair, is pretty accurate. Whether or not that makes it wrong, well, that's up to higher powers to decide. But at least we're better off than the folks in Germany, where the country's official provider, T-Mobile, wants to ban use of the Skype app on both its 3G network and its extensive Wi-Fi hot spot network.
Not only has T-Mobile said that the use of Skype is forbidden, but it's also declared its intent to cancel the contracts of any users who use workarounds to run the program anyway. The company's reasoning is that the program's high data use would choke the network infrastructure and that it violates the customer contract, prohibiting VoIP--a clause apparently used by all other German mobile service providers as well.
Skype's general counsel fired back in a blog post, saying: "They pretend that their action has to do with technical concerns: this is baseless. Skype works perfectly well on iPhone, as hundreds of thousands of people globally can already readily attest."
Whatever the case, T-Mobile looks to have a steep road ahead of itself, as Skype is currently the top free app on the German App Store. Viel Glück!

Convert your Avi & whatever to mp4 with the screen res at 480x320 and then run the movies in your ipod. <--- not that hard to figure out is it? |

Just learned something new about the iPhone, YouTube & wifi settings.
Everytine I load a YouTube video on my home wifi, it loads up pretty fast until half way some odd happens & it becomes ultra slow.
Did some homework & I find out I have to set the wireless radio to broadcast in "G" mode only.
My 2Wire wireless router default settings was B & G.
Now it's nice and smooth for YouTube, but too bad it's not like that 14mbs connection I used once at Roger's Corp store.
