Plugging in your iPhone to sync is so 2007.

Has anyone tried the mBoxMail app? It allows you to access hotmail accounts directly from your iphone/ipod touch. I was curious if it was any good. I'd really like to be able to check my hotmail account without going through Safari, but I'm not sure if it's worth $9.99.
Of course, I suspect not many people on gaf use hotmail, but you never know.

Anybody else had problems ordering from SwitchEasy? We payed for it but it isn't under our payment history. :l

Funnily enough, I got an iTunes gift card for Christmas and downloaded this very app. It's exactly like the Mail app, but for Hotmail. I've had my Hotmail account from the pre-Microsoft years, and it's where every non-personal mail goes. So it's worth it for me.

I've never used this, but I heard this can help - have no idea if this is a myth or not though.

I'm gonna sell it but I'm in the UK and I presume you're from the US...it's a 1st gen 16gb anyway.

Wow, it's similar to what I used on PSP. It doesn't seem to say how long to leave it for, anyone got any ideas? 5 minutes or 5 hours?
Other problem is one of the pixels is in the bottom corner of the screen and the browser covers the corner up no matter which way it's turned, grrr.
Fixed. It's one cord.giga said:
And I think it's done to prevent corruption of transmitted data. A network drop or Bluetooth interference and there's a risk of a borked audio file or piece of data that causes app crashing, or worse. It's not that it can't be done, it's likely that there's a risk involved.
Do you need to restore your computer's files every day? No.giga said:
Does Time Machine ask you to re-do your backups if they become corrupt? Yes.
Do you use an iPhone every day? YES.
If it's borked and needs to be reformatted because a sync borked it, would you be pissed and cursing Apple's name? I dunno if you would, but I'm sure the majority of Apple's customers would be.
If there's such a big risk in wireless transfers (that it'll actually cause the phone to not work at all due to corrupted files), then why is Apple allowing us to mount our iphone on a PC/Mac over wifi via thirdparty apps? Or why are they allowing us to download music/apps from iTunes over wifi?
They're probably taking their own time to develop a wireless sync feature...we don't know if they're dismissing it at all. And knowing Apple, it'll take them a while to come up with a seemingly simple solution...

who says i sync everyday?Terrell said:
it's not like a corrupt audio file or third party app will require a damn firmware restore. apple could easily implement some sort of checksum process to compensate for the risk.
seriously. i download apps over wifi from the app store all the time and so far i've been good. if the app fails to launch, i'll either restart the phone or just delete it and redownload it again. it doesn't require a reformat/restore.
Same here....more than half the apps I have are downloaded via 3G or via wifi when I'm at home. Even if we're syncing using a wire, Apple does provide us an option to cancel that sync halfway thru, either by sliding the button on the phone or clicking on the x icon in iTunes...so you know there won't be any big risk of corrupted files when we're given those options in the first place...Love how efficient the built-in OS isgiga said:

So, I'm planning to pick up an IPhone or iPod Touch but I've noticed that quite a few apps are region-locked, is there any way to get around that (without stealing)? I'd really like the Last.fm app.

Well, anything like doing a firmware update or system restore they could either require you to plug in for. Or have a method where you download the firmware update before the phone starts the process.Terrell said:
There is absolutely no reason why I shouldn't be able to sync podcasts, music, and apps wirelessly. Nothing is going to corrupt. Nothing is going to get broken. I transfer files to and from my phone with ssh all the time and I've never had any problem.

Pretty sure he means Jailbroken.
Seller claims the iphone is stuck at the pineapple screen, which is an easy fix.giga said:
He also mentioned it doesn't hold a charge, but looking at the seller's history, he doesn't seem to know much about electronics.
If the battery is screwed, I can just desolder it and replace it since I know how to do that.

iPhone Emergency
Hey all, is there any reason why a 3G iPhone would suddenly lose all cellular service? My gf's phone has said No Service since 1pm today except when she did a full restore and two bars showed up 3 seconds before going out again. At the same time, my 3G iPhone is perfectly fine.
1) Is her phone fucked?
2) Should I have her take it to an Apple store or ATT store?

Did she turn off the 3G and forget about it (check under settings/network). If not turn if off and turn it on again. If your phone is jailbroken, turn off edge and wifi and see if you can still connect - the 3G is working but the icon is just not showing. If none of those work then your 3G antenna is probably fucked.reggieandTFE said:

It's not Apple you want to blame when it comes to regional viewing restrictions.Bananakin said:
I mean, did you think Apple was the reason Xbox Marketplace, PlayStation Network, Netflix, Hulu, and Youtube have lockouts on what you can get outside of the US as well?
Liu Kang Baking A Pie said:
Whose fault is it then? (Honestly asking here, I've never understood region lockouts) Seems like an additional revenue stream would be only a good thing.
On that note, though, I'll probably be moving to the states next year. Is it difficult to switch my itunes account to an american one?

Content providers that still rely on obsolete legal contracts in a world that is increasingly globalizing. When you sell the distribution rights to your movie you sell them country by country, to different distributors in each country. Therefore Fox cannot distribute its TV shows over-the-internet to countries where they have existing distribution contracts with other companies.
