At least, Apple fixed an annoying issue : the calendar colors of iCal are replicated to the iphone calendar application. But I still miss a week view. Pocket Informant has their iphone version reviewed by Apple, and maybe 3.x will have it. Hope so.

Hey, Apple, one of the key reason I like my Macbook Pro and my iPhone is the calendar sync. But where the hell is the week view in the iPhone calendar ?
It’s missing so much that I’m willing to pay 10$ to the first third-party application delivering this feature. Either iTunes Store or jailbreak app. [...]

With iTunes storage used to sync and backup the iPhone, disk space was running low on my Macbook Pro 15″. I bought a Samsung SpinPoint M6 320 Go – 5400t/min. – 2.5″ – SATA disk to replace it and went ahead using this nice guide.

Yes, despite the negative reports, I went on to 2.0.2 to try to get better 3G reception in my area. Swisscom says I should have 3G, and I don’t have it. Let’s see… still Egde only. I will have to run around the house to catch the good waves. The next step is to jailbreak [...]

Being a UNIX geek, I thought it would be cool to have a ssh client associated with the VPN client. I found it on http://www.instantcocoa.com/products/pTerm/, but so far, the app isn’t available outside the US :
Looks like SSH is still considered as a weapon by the security theater paranoids in the USA. In a post [...]

I don’t know what Apple had in mind when they decided to exclude a To-Do application from the iPhone software set. That a big no-go for me, but luckily, third-party developers have stepped in.

My iPhone 3G had really a bad time to get contacts from iTunes sync. I googled a lot, and tried a lot of cookbooks involving removing caches, shifting away syncservice directories, and even singing a little bit. And then, I went back to my UNIX roots, and thought about log files…

The first USB sync with a selection of a few contact groups in iTunes worked fine. And then it broke badly, I can’t use it anymore, my iPhone contact list is emtpy, I tried “reset sync history” in isync preferences, “replace info on this iPhone”, nothing work. Bad bug, please fix it !
