Not such a big deal this update.

What I love right now is the Remote app

At home my phone connects to the network automatically the moment I'm in the door. I scroll through my playlist start a track and the music system fires with it's lovely sound. A agent calls me and the boom boom is muted while I'm on the phone. That's what I'm talking about... just smegging awesome and I don't care what you say!

It does, indeed, rock.

I've got the iMac in the office as the iTunes server, then Airport Express and Apple TV downstairs both running airtunes - all controllable from the Remote app. You can even use it to control the Apple TV directly. It's quite good.

My six year old Nokia does text messages as well.

No thanks for these new fangled things - I will stick to what I know.

Good for you.

They're sent as SMS. Not MMS.

Dunno then.

Definitely works in the email app though - you tap the attachment and you can either add to existing or create new contact.

When will the iPhone support vCard? I sent my business card as a text message to one, and it couldn't handle a standard that's been around for years.

Check out the MMS bit at: http://thenextweb.com/2009/03/17/app...tures-updates/

Probably when it supports MMS messaging. It already supports emailed vCards.

How does one go about becoming an Apple apps developer?

What skillset would be needed for this?

Does anyone know what the block is with Flash on iPhones, out of interest? I'd have thought that would be a basic and standard plug-in these days.

I read in this months Mac Format that its a technical thing, not a business decision not to include Flash. Apple thought that the mobile Flash version available for them to use was not up to scratch so are working with Adobe to sort it out and it'll be available sometime in the future.

When it'll be in market???

The new software will also allow developers to sell subscription-based software products, opening up the prospect of users being asked to pay for different levels of a game, to purchase additional content or to buy virtual items.

This I like

Edit: Nov 08 article here gives some explanation. Apple policy issue it seems.
