Today In iPhone: Episode  32 - Feedback and User Centric Interview

Intro:
Soundbyte from Danny (Raleigh) 7th in line on iPhone Day

Rob forewarns his Out-tro is an interview with Gavin (regarding the study circulating online about texting), and plugs his recent guest appearance on the Typical Mac User Podcast (with Victor).

Listener Feedback:
*John (Wisconsin) waited for longer line to form on iPhone Day?
*Kevin (fratpackpodcast.com) disputes Rob's stance (from last episode) on not purchasing anything on iPhone; as does *Ken (NJ); as does Jake (NYC) sites HTTPS; as does James who sites SSL 

iPhone tip of the week:
*John (Santa Claira) hacks the Belkin Power adapter to work with iPhone.
*Joe (minus Ben from Eugene, OR) gives us a new way to ignore calls and points out that if you utilize the dock you can plug in any headphones you want without the stinkin' $10 adapter. (Note: I tried this while it was plugged into my iMac with semi-disastrous results and would definitely recommend using the dock alone, NOT plugged in to anything else!)
*John (Rochester) having problems with his WiFi home connection (using Belkin router) – update fixed it lickety split!

Q and A:
*Kevin (fratpackpodcast.com) wants the skinny on sports pages for scores/ stats on games (the lite version please). Rob delivers iPhone Sports Scores page on silver platter. (More to come on next show)

Feedback:
* Alvin (Virginia) loves his Plantronics 640 Bluetooth headset, says comfortable with glasses on!
* Randy (iphone-VT.com) driving in his Prius (sadly) notes that hands free audio not currently possible in his car. Uses Apple earbuds frequently and shares how to wake iPhone from sleep
* M(something something?) Paul(?) from Pittsburgh asks about iFuntastic, do you lose data on phone? Is there a way to backup notes? Rob answers no reset needed for first download, and promises iFuntastic version 3 coming out soon!
*Tommy (LA) having probs with phone after doing the update.
*Former Windows user says that he used screen protector on Windows mobile phone and had problems with his phone. Rob puts out a call: if you are having screen issues with your iPhone, please call in and give your specific details: what case are you using, are you using a screen protector (and which one) and what is your screen number (5 or 7)?

Software:
iFuntastic – Version 3 coming out soon! Drag and drop games, ringtones, more!
