    Not sure if this is proper terminology, but if you press the center "Home" button and the top "Sleep" button simultaneously you can do a screen capture on your iPhone. It then puts the photo in your Camera Roll.

    Just create a Flickr or PhotoBucket account. I suggest using your AI screen name specifically for posting images when using your AI alias across forums. Both are available for purchase as apps, but I think photos can easily be uploaded using mSafari or at teh very least you can can email the pic and then upload it.

    Sol here is a screenshot of my 1st gen V 2.0 iPhone Calendar....



    Since you are using the vBulletin IMG tag, you don't need the HTML tags you are adding. In fact, you can't use HTML tags on this forum. Only put the URL between the IMG tags.



    Also, you can edit your posts so making new posts to correct errors is not necessary, and typically frowned upon.



    PS: Your 3rd and 4th attempt didn't work because those links are still pointing to regular pages, not the image file. You can see it you right clicking on the little question mark icon and opening in another window. I know it ends with a .JPG, but the '? in the address field means it's a GET query (at least I think it is). EIther way, you have to right click on the image itself and choose Copy Image Address. That will open the image up in it's own window.

    No problem, but you should clean up your trail posts. The Edit button is next to the reply button.

    I have deleted quite a few free apps since they pretty much suck. BoxOffice is much better than Movies. 'Where' pretty much sucks, it is slow even over Wi-Fi. WeatherBug beats Apple's Weather app. And the BEST free app has to be REMOTE! Because of that app, I bought an AirPort Express off eBay so I can connect it to my home stereo and remote control iTunes from the iPhone! I can also use it in the backyard with my JBL Spot Speakers and control iTunes with the iPhone! How cool is that?



    Haven't downloaded Super Monkey Ball, but Cro-Mag Rally, Enigmo, and Texas Hold 'Em ROCK!



    So there are some good apps, and there are some that are stinkers. Goes with the territory.

    OK, so I am new to the whole iPhone experience. But I must admit that I am rather amazed that DataViz or someone else has not provided a way to view Office or other docs directly in the iPhone.



    Am I missing something?

    — BoxOffice is nice. The Rotten Tomatoes ratings are a nice touch, too. Movies has a major flaw in that you have to exit the app after putting in your zip code and then reenter it again. There is no enter or okay button there. How did that make it to the App Store? And here I was defending Apple for their QA.



    — Weather Bug is great, but I personally never concern myself with the weather, but I know people so obsessed with it that I think They'd buy an iPhone if they saw that one app.



    — For free apps, the Talking <language> Phrasebooks are nice. Easy to access phrases with voices.



    — VoiceNotes is nice for voice notes. It's not refined at all but it was effective when testing.



    — NetNewsWire is a popular app on OS X, but it's too bulky for my needs. I prefer a simple Menubar icon for my RSS. But for the iPhone it's the nicest RSS reader I've seen though I haven't tried the Google app yet.



    — Some apps are simple but could prove to be useful are Light, which makes the entire screen white for a makeshift flashlight, of course. There are a few, but they charge money, which I find ridiculous since this app would take me 5 minutes from start to finish, and I'm a really bad coder!



    — One app I figured I'd delete right away is Dial Zero, but I'm keeping it. It's like a simplified yellow pages with toll free numbers and web-address for all the major companies. I couldn't less about what buttons to push to get a live operator right now, but I may care when stuck trying to find my way around their automated directory like some keypad-based version of Advent.



    — I wish I could remove Contacts. Pressing Phone to get to my contacts never bothered me.



    — iPint is lame, but I like how the display fills up like a beer and then uses the accelerometer so you can pretend to drink it. The effect is pretty realistic.



    — Loopt is nice, I will be using that to find and be found when traveling with friends and family. The GPS tracking could have come in handy at a crowded outdoor concert earlier this year. I do wish they'd allow for updates via email and not just SMS.



    — AIM is worse than Meebo since the App Store Push service hasn't been enabled. It also needs some bug fixes and major refinement. I figured they would have this complete they have had access to the SDK longer than most and have experience with OS X.



    — Just checked out Mobile News Network. Both it and NYTimes are nice apps, but I prefer the former as it loads much faster.



    PS: My Safari has been crashing a lot.

    PPS: Jobs, NYTimes and Mobile News Network have just put badges on my device as to updates. Not the apps that really need the most, but it's good to see.

    I like remote a lot, but I really wish I could stream the music from my own phone to airport speakers, not just controlling an itunes library. I'm sure it's doable...

    On some carriers, replying to a spam message with the word STOP works.



    I would inquire from your mobile provider to see if that works on their system.



    It can be of benefit as more and more spammers start to use text messaging for spamming.



    FYI.

    what about just using google

    i can search around for businesses

    seach and keep a bookmark for movies including star ratings

    yes both are using safari.

    but it doens't take long to fire it up...on the 3g right??? (that's what i did when i played around with my friends 2g iphone)

    time will filter out the weak and strong apps



    and i bet the reason we don't have a point to point and text to speech nav program. is apple is working with the major players to get a piece of the action or maybe att is blocking it.

    tomtom and garmin may be blocking it some way....to keep there stand alone units from sales meltdown.



    when it does come it will be another defining app for the iphone. i thought the increased data rate to 30 was to be an end run to pay for the added nav functionality, since many phones have it but people pay extra.



    also nav won't be $9.99 it will be something like $40+ and may require yearly upgrades...at a price. the handheld market sweats bullets over the iphone and nav

    Pick up the phone. They will straighten it out as I have had to deal with this problem with a friend.
