One last thing, does anybody with multiple machines and a Windows Home Server know if you can install iTunes on your WHS and have it sync libraries through Home Sync? That would be AWESOME. Let me reiterate that: it would be AWESOME! 🙂

I don't see why it wouldn't work. Basically, what you do in go into iTunes on each computer than you want to sync on your network and type in your username/password and then you can see each of them in the "Home Share" section. So unless WHS is doing something really funky, it would definitely work.
 
I was mainly concerned with WHS and it's 'Drive Extender' technology that lumps all the drives into one storage pool. Still, it should work. I'll give it a try this weekend. I've got new hardware I need to put into the server anyways so if I toast it, it's not really a big deal.

I'll attempt to remember to keep ya'll posted.
 
Ugh.. just actually tied my media center and my laptop together. And it's just a glorified shared drive. This is not what I thought it would be. I thought it was going to be a "Sync" so it would keep what I have on my laptop on my media center.. Boo...

That's exactly why it doesn't -- you're one of the people they're counting on to buy the nano when they probably otherwise wouldn't.

Next iteration, the touch will get a camera, and you'll probably post that you're looking forward to buying your new Touch.

Well, can't you drag and drop the files from one to the other?

Lame. I need a reliable way to have the music sync up between the shared folders on my WHS, my MBP, and my desktop. Still looking I guess...

I'd really like some kind of iHome Server...like a Time Capsule for music (and multimedia and files and what have you). The AppleTV is almost a good conceptual design for it - it syncs across the network (I believe from multiple machines?), which is cool.

I just don't get why itunes doesn't have folder monitor like every other media player ever created. Would make things much easier

So anyone figured out how to upgrade their iPhone OS to 3.1 without losing ultrasn0w unlock and jailbreaking?
Click to expand...

i think you have to wait for the dev team to release the new pwnagetool, so you can make your own custom 3.1 firmware...
 
Skype is now available for the iPhone/iPod Touch in Canada.
FW 3.1 seems to run a little snappier on my iPhone, maybe it's just me. 3.0 used to lag terribly.

That's just the online number correct? Well I guess it's not really that big a deal. Skype users can still call you and I really only want it to make outgoing calls. Does the US version support it though?

Yeah, you can get a US Skype-In number, but then for people to call you they have to call a US number. Not a big deal if they also have skype, but if they don't, then they're calling long distance.

Of course if you're not in the same city as most of your family/friends, then it doesn't matter at all.

Well, they could always just call your regular cell number in that case. No good for Touch owners though.
