iPhone acquired

  • Artikel

For all of my wibbling yesterday, and my GM's hypnotism today, there really wasn't a question as to whether I'd buy an iPhone. I couldn't queue up today, so I was vaguely concerned that I wouldn't be able to get one. Turns out that I didn't need to be concerned. I walked up to the Palo Alto Apple Store at 7pm, and had my shiny new iPhone by 7:05. It took significantly longer to activate the phone than it did to actually acquire it in the first place. I just did a completely non-random sample of the iPhone availability page (California, New York, and Washington), and none of the Apple Stores are sold out. I wonder if the people who queued up overnight (or longer ... ), or who paid people to queue up overnight, feel like they wasted their time/money.

I'll soon find out how well the iPhone handles being synched with multiple computers. My work laptop is the keeper of my contacts and calendar, but I don't have any music at all on it. I don't want to have to transfer a subset of my music collection to the work laptop. It'll either sync with my server at home or the Mac Mini in my office. The former has my complete music collection, the latter has a very small subset of it (enough to be serviceable in the office, but nowhere near the couple hundred gigs that I've got at home).

I'm seeing some Safari screen-painting issues on Edge. I used this blog as my testbed for it on Edge, and clicked on a comments thread for an earlier post. Doing so jumps you into the post right down to the comments. Safari paints that properly, but if I scroll up, I just see white. I did get the whole page when I let the screen go to sleep and wake back up. Hmmm.

This geekgirl is sleepy (I've been up since 5:30), so it's time to stop now. I'll continue playing tomorrow.

    I am interested in seeing how the syncing across multiple computers turns out.  I encourage you to post about it in a few days once you've gotten some rest and time to try it out.

    No, I didn't bump into Steve, I didn't get there early enough.  I did bump into Craig, and got to see his pictures on his phone instead of having to wait to see them on his diary. :)

    Now that I've owned my iPhone for a year, what have I noticed that I've changed about my use of the phone?
