iPhone apps
After some days playing around these are the coolest apps on the iPhone (for now)
- Remote Buddy ( a remote for my mac. Which i longed for so long) *****
- Mail (great, means I'll probably leave my mac home more often...) ****
- Calendar ****
- Safari ****
- Newsgator (NNW sync) (reading feeds, needs wifi though) ****
- MobileScrobbler (music on the iphone) ****
- Navizon (works perfect) **
- Youtube (great interface) **
- Pushr (pushes your pics to flickr, moblogging it is) (Camera pro will solve this in a better way i hope) *
- Facebook (is actually a much better interface than the normal version) *
Things that bother me:
- Spamfilter. There is no spamfilter on the mail app. Awful...
- Mail syncronisation. It is awful. I'll need to make imap active. Anyone did this and had problems with it?
- Missing wireless sync
- Syncing with several libraries for iPod (because I want to sync with different macs)
Things that worked out fine:
- Syncing info with mac (after the hack) wasn't any problem at all.
- Installing the voicemail button so it works with ordinary voicemail.
- Installing Dutch for T9 (My phone stays in english, but for t9 it is rather easy to have Dutch supported)
To do:
Instal MT update so it works for iphone for moblogging :)
(Or switching to Wordpress and use their plugin for iPhone Admin)
(Guess I will install that one on C's blog already ;) )

It looks like you've spent a LOT of time with your new toy already ;)
About the mail synchronisation: you're right, that's a shame. It's only your *account settings* that are synced, not the mail itself (utter crap!) So - unless you use IMAP of course - it's extremely frustrating to receive mail on your iPhone that doesn't end up in your regular mailbox (and vice versa).
BUT: *if* you use IMAP, it's a dream come true. If you set up to use Google mail for all your e-mail accounts (with 'Google Apps for your Domain'), you can use IMAP for free *and* you get the best spam protection in the worls (Gmail), so you don't need a spam filter on the iPhone.
Couldn't be happier now with the combo iPhone+IMAP+Google Mail. When I delete a a message from the iPhone mail app, it also disappears from my desktop Mail app. Same for sent items etc. It's all perfectly in sync...
