That Phone That Apple Made

Apparently Apple made some kind of Mobile Phone.

Anyway, I heard that it was equally loved and hated by the early adopters.

For example, my friend didn’t like the way the iPhone syncs with iTunes. The iTunes won’t let you drag any song to the iPhone, as it requires playlists.

From what I heard, the iPhone Activation was a breeze for existing Cingular/AT&T customers. As for switchers, they might have slight resistance from their current providers (Sprint, T-Mobile, Verizon, …….). Honestly it is somewhat expected, they don’t want their customers to switch.
If I’m not lazy, I’d write more here. I’ll update this entry later.

Safari 3 Public Beta: Missing Texts on Windows XP

UPDATE 06.15.2007
One thing that is different on the computer effected, it previously had Microsoft Internet Explorer 7 installed and uninstalled. This is not necessarily the cause. I’m still trying to find the culprit.
Out of numbers of Windows XP computers I installed Safari 3 Public Beta on, one is having a weird problem. All the texts are missing including within the page and the menu. I am not sure what is really going on since so far this only happens on one computer running Windows XP.

Missing Texts on Windows XP

I have yet installed Safari 3 Public Beta on Windows Vista. That’s coming soon.
