Possibility. It also may not be quite ready for prime time.

Or it might have to hit some hidden point to get it to go. I know the Zune didn't want to wifi sync if it was below a certain battery level.

Thanks for the help! It worked perfectly no problems at all. Only thing I have to re-add are all my ringtones and songs. I definitely wouldn't have known wtf to do without the help on here.

I need sleep but now I want to play with my phone lol

Per Vlingo (freeApp) First it told me about nearby Chinese Restaurants, then:

1 US Gallon = 16 US Cups

But I haven't used this voice app very much.

The 4S is the only iPhone getting it. I didn't know the current iPod touch was though, very cool.

everytime i restore it just eats up hard drive space and fails at the restore due to insufficient space and doesnt give me back the space.

so i move stuff around make room. try again, and then it just eats up my space again. its like at a pace of like 25MB/sec

It's worth getting early.

Finally got auto sync to work this morning. Clearly, there is a timer that doesn't initiate it after a sync has been done in a set amount of time before. Not a bad feature, actually. They still need to implement a way to add or remove songs with a wireless sync, but it's a start.

Never used the latter.

But I'll say the implementation of this is near perfect. I do want a bit more control, though.

Are the 4S dimension specs somewhere, or is it the same size as the 4? I want to get some cheap docks off eBay, which usually ship direct from China... And I want to order soon.

I don't use a case, so I'm not going to be much help. The ones I have now for the 3Gs has no tolerance for a case, was $5 from China.

I'll post.

Yes. But swipe down from top to bottom to bring it up when the phone is unlocked.
