Mobile me, or to be precise .mac. All my other email accounts, including gmail, forward to that account. It keeps things nice and simple and the IMAP folders are much better than the gmail labels.

I sync my gmail account to the iphone - and rarely even use the browser to check email.

Actually, I have a a gmail I use to sign up for things I don't care about. A spam account if you will. I check that occasionally using the web client + float bar. It's pretty nice.

Gmail. I only have one email address.

Gmail (google apps for my vanity domain), which is the only non-work email address I use.

I used redsnow and its not really that bad. Just updated to 3.0 via iTunes and then ran redsnow and followed onscreen instructions. Took about 20 minutes from start of 3.0 update to jailbreak completion.

Cool new stuff on Cydia - 1. Magnifier Colors (choose your magnifier style) and 2. Drag Dots (choose your icon for the dots used in the selection controls)
If you want to record video on your iPhone 3GS and aren’t happy with the built in microphone, then you could add one of these Flexible Mini Capsule iPhone 3GS Microphone’s. The Flexible Mini Capsule iPhone 3GS Microphone lets you position the microphone in a variety of different angles, and according to the guys over at Brando it will give you ten times better reception.

Wow..., I actually think the internal microphone is incredible.
- Clark Baumgartner
It definitely is!! But this claims to have 10x the qualtiy :D
- Praveen Vasudev
10x perfect is still perfect? I've been told that the iPhone's mic can only be made better with thousands of dollars of audio processing............, but of course, I'm sure this product is worthwhile..., especially being able to direct it.
- Clark Baumgartner
That's the maximum it can get on iPhone :D

It's really annoying how I can't remove Apple apps that I never use like "Stocks". Stocks for example appears to be powered by Yahoo finance data. Does anyone know if Apple receives money from Yahoo by keeping the App on the iPhone?? I noticed that when I clicked a link in the app and was brought to Safari and was presented with this screenshot.
If the Almighty Steve Jobs deems the app to be necessary, who are we to question his judgement. All kidding aside, it's probably part of the Kernal or it's a set of apps that are locked by the OS. Maybe if you jail broke the phone, then you can remove it. Not really sure though.
- Gerard Lagana
If you jailbreak the iPhone there are methods of making the app "hidden" and no longer on your screen...but thats about it.
- Laww
On a related note, their "Weather" app is crap, too. Also powered by Yahoo! Coincidence?
- Hiro Asari
Hiro: Their Map app is powered by Google and is pretty good though...Coincidence? haha
- Mike Bracco
I just move the crap apps to my last page and forget about 'em.

I'll have to try this. Does anyone know off-hand if after playback of a podcast is completed, so "Play Count is 1", does that podcast automatically disappear from the playlist on the iPhone, or does one have to resync for that to occur?
- Bill Rodman
From what I understand Bill, that is exactly what this *should* do. Of course, I'm purely speculating based on the article's description of the functionality, and have not tested it myself. ;-)
- Dan Dashnaw
Gosh. Imagine that thing in your pocket...

The interchangeable lenses ($20-$55) are sold separately. Not compatible with 3G S. Obviously there is enough interest in this thing; they are sold out right now.

SoundAMP works a lot like those Sonic Earz you see on the infomercials -- you run the app with your earbuds plugged in, and then sit back and enjoy listening to the sweet sounds of whatever's going on around you -- only louder. The app allows you to control volume and tone, and you can also replay the last 30 seconds of what you've been hearing -- in case you missed something particularly juicy. Now, personally, we put in the earbuds and crank up the tunes to shut out the outside world, but if this is your kind of thing -- it's available in the iTunes store right now for $9.99.

The app is just plain fantastic for any guitarist. It’s well supported for different tunings, bass guitars, 12 strings, and even left handed support. The user interface is beautifully crafted, with rich colours, good layout, and realistic renderings of the guitar fretboard. At $9.99, I’m pretty sure this is the app you want if amateur or professional guitaring is your kind of thing.

"What really blew me away though is the fact that the touch point on your photo also regulates exposure and color temperature. Check out the image below to see the difference. I took a photo of a back lit subject with this feature. This is huge! With the old iPhone cameras, backlit photos were impossible. Now, just touch on the person’s face and take your shot."

"As if the number of consumers complaining about the iPhone 3GS’ battery life weren’t enough, now reports are arising about Wi-Fi problems. About 30 iPhone 3GS owners are reporting in Apple’s support forums that their Wi-Fi transfer rates are surprisingly sluggish — in some cases, considerably slower than on the older iPhone 3G."

"“I’ve also got a 3G and now a 3GS and on Wi-FI the 3GS is much slower,” writes forum member Andy Worthington. “The 3GS and my Touch (all version 3) are at least twice the download speed and the signal strength [and] the 3GS fluctuates quite extremely. I’ve tried three different Wi-Fi networks (all with different routers) and the results are consistent each time. Clearly something is wrong.”"

"FlowChat is by far the best internet chat (IRC) client for the iPhone and iPod Touch. I have personally been testing this IRC app for months. It feels more like a real desktop client than a mobile IRC clients. It’s really good. FlowChat combines a gorgeous interface with an extensive feature list that rivals that of most desktop chat clients. Upload and share photos and screenshots immediately with your friends, type in either portrait or landscape mode, visit links and browse the web without leaving FlowChat using the embedded web browser, autocomplete commands, channel names and nicknames, use one of the 5 bundled themes or create and install your own on-the-go, manage user and channel modes, or even get down and dirty with an unfiltered console view. And all of this from a sleek and elegant interface designed by professionals committed to bringing you the best possible internet chatting experience."

Well I have in and bought it. First impressions? This looks like the slickest IRC client out there. It is not perfectly stable, yet, but it's very early days yet and I expect the developers will be capable of fixing whatever needs fixing. It's handling of multiple chats is magnificient and the GUI is sleek and attractive. I'm still not clear how to save favourite chat rooms though....

"Gangstar, much like the GTA series, has an open mission structure and a fully 3D world with a full 3D camera, unlike the top-down approach used by Payback and older GTA games. It’s also got car theft, radio stations, custom music playlists, running from the cops, auto-targeting and pretty much every other part of the gameplay trail that Grand Theft Auto 3 blazed back in the PlayStation 2 era. Set in a fictional Los Angeles, Gangstar is set to hit the App Store this summer."

"Mobile Spy runs in total stealth mode and no mentions of the program are shown on the iPhone 3GS. The software runs in the background behind all other applications. After the software is setup on the phone, it silently records the entire text of all SMS text messages, information about each call and actual GPS positions."

"But what’s more interesting is that Ocado didn’t just rush to create a quick, limited functionality app. They took the time to seamlessly integrate the iPhone app and their websites, and offer a continuous experience to customers swapping between those channels."

Me too :) Looks like so far PUSH is enabled on a per-app basis :D
- Zulema ◕ ◡ ◕
Yeah, this is nothing to do with email. Push is enabled on a per application basis, so turning this one on, will not alter your email push settings at all.
- Patrick Jordan
Sending this from eBuddy :) Sweet! Now to enable push for it.
- Zulema ◕ ◡ ◕

Looks stable on 3G 3.0, push works well, but Apple can not convince me with push notifications instead of multi-tasking
- attila erbilir
Its biggest drawback I've seen so far is it only lets you stay connected for 30 minutes after exiting the app - other IM apps allow for much longer.
- Patrick Jordan
I've quit the app and received IMs but wasn't notified on my home screen. :( Notifications are on. I'll keep testing
- Zulema ◕ ◡ ◕
Patrick maybe cos of it is free? (limited?)
- attila erbilir
Zulema - I've got the alerts on home screen, even when in sleep mode - should work for your if you have it turned on. @ attila - probably so, I wasn't dinging it, just mentioning.
- Patrick Jordan
I'm going to email them. According to their iPhone FAQ, I've got it set right: http://m.ebuddy.com/iphonea... Sign out after 30 mins for me but it says underneath "Push notifications are disabled" even tho they are on under Settings > Notifications. Mebbe it's because I'm jailbroken but I'm on a 3G with 3.0 firmware.
- Zulema ◕ ◡ ◕
Zulema - read the link in your other post on the fix for that issue. That fix doesn't sound that advanced, but does seem a PITA - hope you get it working :)
- Patrick Jordan
Using it and loving it, best of all is the price, free!

30 min and out defeats the whole purpose. Will stick with Beejive

I have push working and it's great plus you can't beat free! I thought Beejive was taken off the AppStore?
- Zulema ◕ ◡ ◕

Nope Beejive is still there, I just checked. While free is nice (most apps I use are free) working for more than 30 min is better.
