    No, youtibe for iphone will not use flash. Rememeber they are reencoding yourubt in H.264 for AppleTV. iphone will use this too. Much more efficient for battery life since the H.264 decode is on hardware, while flash would have to use main CPU.

    Flash didn't make into my worst 5.

    BTW hey submitter, what's with the reverse format in your headline?



    That headline should read "Source: Apple planning host of iphone updates..."



    not the way you have it. or "Apple planning host of iphone updates, says Source"



    Just putting in my 2 cents.

    You mean like Quicktime and AAC?

    Actually, it starts in 2008.

    That means Voice dialing, NOT touch dialing. How could they miss such a key feature?

    They have the bluetooth headsets, why no handsfree dialing? It is a fundamental here.



    Perhaps they are planning an alliance with WildFire? This would allow for a host of options with no hardware or software upgrade.

    It should be "tap to download and run" regardless.



    Who wants to wait ages for umpteen flash adverts to load on a website? Yet it would be nice to play some of the Flash games and browse some of the Flash websites (although I suspect that they will work horribly).

    and a JavaScript check for flash that writes out either the flash code, or proper, decent, standards compliant HTML code for you navigation bar.



    Some people just don't know where to use a technology ...

    Are you coming from another service and transfering a number?



    I was existing AT&T and was activated in like less than 3 minutes.

    Now if you could only set up multiple portfolios and flip through them like you do with multiple weather forecasts, the Stocks applet would be top-notch for me. I'd love to have a panel for each of my investment groups.

    Not making a lot of sites useless. Making lazy designers stick to open standards and sites that degrade properly. And keeping the Microsofts and Adobes of the world from doing to the web what they've done on the desktop. I applaud Apple's embracing standards on iPhone.



    This is how they beat Microsoft with the iPod. Screw Plays for Sure. Screw Windows Media. MP3 and AAC are both open standards that Microsoft can't control.



    So screw Flash and screw Exchange. If any device ever had the potential to end the Exchange monopoly, it would be the iPhone I'm using to type this.

    I'm sure you meant to say every month, if you didn't then I disagree with your time framing. Every week just wouldn't make much sense.

    It's so ironic that people are calling anything that doesn't use Microsoft Exchange insecure. Are we all forgetting that Microsoft Outlook, connected to an Exchange server, is how 90% of the world's computer viruses are spread?

    K2director -



    My activation took almost 24 hours



    try resetting your iphone. press the sleep wake button and the home button at the same time

    hold them till it resets/shuts down.



    also try pulling out of the docking cradle and then resetting it and placing it back in the cradle.

    I'm not sure if those things helped my activation or it was just a coincident.... but having to wait

    soo long is unacceptable...... unbelievable.



    good luck.... I know the feeling and sux.



    i can tell you that now that my phone finally works it's soo sweet.

    the long wait and patience is worth the wait..... but I want answers

    as to WHY/what went wrong.



    can't wait for updates to the iphone, I love everything so far.

    Actually you don't need Exchange to be insecure. Just using Outlook on a Windows computer and I think it more like 99% of viruses. Outlook should be banned.

    You are certainly not alone, which may explain in part why these somewhat deviant activities have become so prevalent.

    If you are a new AT&T customer, and if you have a lock on your credit reports, then that could be the problem.



    Any idea if voice dialing will be added in a software update? That is one lacking feature this phone desperately needs! I've become accustomed to using voice dialing with my Bluetooth earpiece while driving.
