If you have a DSLR, it doesn’t take long to fill a 2Gb or eve 4Gb card. This will be handy to make a second copy of the card in case you lose the originals or the card is damaged. It’s never too early to backup the photos. Great for a vacation where you really don’t want to carry the laptop into the field.

It says it charges “all dockable iPods sans 3G iPods”
I wonder if this is really true - including the new Touch 2G.
The charging mechanism changed on the new iPods/iPhones so I guess I’ll email to ask.
I want one if it does.

As an update to my last entry, I’ve been contacted again by iSkins, and they have “made right” by the defective (and incorrect) product 100%.
Things easily can go wrong in transactions. If the standard is how well the problems are handled, then iSkins remains on my recommended products list, even though it required a repeat contact to get the problem sorted.

Sadly, it’s very much an “iPhone” app rather than an “iPhone OS” app; you can’t use it on an iPod touch, even though I suspect there’s no reason for this other than the AT&T;sponsorship.

Those with outstanding orders may want to check the XtremeMac site again and/or call their support line. The compatibility chart on their site does lists the Luna X2 as NOT compatible with the iPhone. A call to their customer support line confirmed this, so I canceled my order, although an email reply I received from them indicated it would work with the iPhone. I’m trying to clarify with the support rep who emailed me if she can absolutely confirm that the Luna X2 will ship with the official “Works with iPhone” designation and have shielded speakers.

Ya lost me there Herr Doktor...My notes in OS X’s Mail app sync via my Mobileme account between my iPhone, desktop, and laptop without a problem, along with the rest of that Mobileme account’s mail and ical stuff. I actually have a note called “grocery list”.

How did Bluetooth not make this list? That’s what my vote is for. I got a Sony bluetooth dongle, and it works great, but should definitely be built in.
Also - I would love to have a mic (especially to record concerts) but not as badly as I want bluetooth!

Unfortunately, I have to be added to the list of customers with issues with iSkin’s latest product offering.
I received the wrong item - instead of a pink/red/clear Duo pack
(as ordered), I received the blue/purple/clear pack. The order confirmation clearly states which set was ordered.
In addition, the rotary belt clip was covered in some sticky, nasty, substance that had gunky fingerprints in it (quick! Call in a CSI team!). It appears to be like rubber cement, and will not wash off.
I subsequently discovered that the polycarbonate Visor shield seems to be peeling apart / is split at the top - despite the product not having been used (due to the belt clip being covered in disgusting gunk). So, this is not a wear issue.
I don’t feel that I should have to pay for return shipping and wait when iSkins made the error - and my only error was in ordering from them.
I indicated in my initial correspondence that I would be willing live with having the wrong color case (though not happily, as the point of buying a red case was to match my red iPod).
However, when I asked to have a new, goo-free belt clip assembly sent to me, as the product is not usable in its current condition, I received a standard “send the whole darn thing back at [my] expense, wait up to 30 days for processing of your exchange” email.
This was my third order from iSkin, and I have recommended their products to other iPod owners, since the quality of their cases is (or rather, WAS) superior to any of the other case lines that I have purchased.
Needless to say, I was quite surprised at the error in product shipped, and very disappointed in finding the that product was defective - in more ways than one.
Here’s hoping that Kristian Ward is a real representative from iSkins, and that I get a better solution than “send us everything at your own expense, even though iSkins fouled up”.

Actually the extra $10 is the standard cost for the 3G internet in general. The reason they didn’t allow it is b/c they were selling laptop connect cards, that they could charge $40/month to use. So they would lose money if everyone with a 3G plan started using their phones as modems.
Not that i’m complaining...it’s about time

I ordered one on Wednesday AM to be shipped overnight. I was assured that I would have it yesterday (Nov. 6th). It still hasn’t shipped and they won’t respond to my emails. IMHO, this company should be avoided.

I was never able to get netshare to work which was in the store for a few hours. I wonder if I ever got it to work if it will still after the official tethering comes out.

Do you have any idea how a 3rd Generation I Pod Nano hooks up to the IH52 & to the TV to watch movies/Photo’s/Music Video’s or is this not possible? Have the right cords-not sure if I am hooking up wrong-nothing shows on the screen.
Posted by Julie Pennoyer on November 6, 2008 at 6:43 PM (PDT)
We wouldn’t need apps like “Remember the Milk” if Apple bothered to be compatible with itself. Why don’t the To-Do’s built in to Mac OS X’s iCal sync with the iPhone or MobileMe? Why don’t Notes saved in OS X’s Mail application sync with the iPhone?
While I appreciate 3rd-party developers filling in Apple’s oversights, Apple should never have overlooked these details in the first place… and shouldn’t continue to drag their feet on rectifiying them.
Posted by Herr Doktor on November 6, 2008 at 3:35 PM (PDT)
i’m gonna say that 5 will get you 10 that they will make it a separate app that you have to pay for and you have to sign up for an extra ‘tethering’ plan.
why? cause the major reason for the extra $10 on the data plan in the first place was to cover all the added strain on the system caused by all those new iphone users out there. this will be even more strain in ATTs eyes and they will want more money to build more support blah blah

I’m curious to see how Parrot will make these kits’ functionality work, given the iPhone’s complete lack of supporting Bluetooth profiles, namely A2DP, HFP, and PBAP. Note to Parrot: The iPhone only has HSP, which can’t do anything except pick up an incoming call and later hang up on it.
Posted by Herr Doktor on November 6, 2008 at 12:52 PM (PDT)
I had no luck calling them but yesterday I got a reply from them, now with an imation email, that they will honor my Apr order of $95.96. We’ll see. I had sent them a heated email eventually telling them to ship my order BUT they are only authorized to charge my card $95.96. Supposed to ship 18 Nov. Let’s see what happens!
I lost my husband’s ipod on a flight October 28, 2008 - from Denver to Houston. If there is anyone out there who cares and might have it, please contact me - or let the airline know so they can contact me. His name is on the back. Thank you!

XtremeMac explains Luna X2 delay, adds iPhone support
Just a comment: Did anyone notice the difference between the pictures of the Luna X2 and the video (both on the website)?
I DID! the buttons are raised and it doesn’t look nearly as sleek and makes it cheap looking by comparison.
The look of the Luna X2 is one of its biggest selling points and this would be very dissapointing.
