The iPhone’s mail client/contact scheme lacks an important feature: the ability to store groups of contacts that can be sent an email in one fell swoop. Mac OS X’s Address Book and most Windows contact management solutions offer this functionality, but it is for some reason missing from the iPhone.

The iPhone echoing issue continues continues…

Posted 26 July 2007 @ 12am in Troubleshooting

270,000 iPhones (and related products and services?) sold in two days of 3Q

Posted 25 July 2007 @ 1pm in News

UPDATE: In the earnings conference call, CFO Peter Oppenheimer repeatedly referred to “270,000 iPhones.” As such, it appears Apple may have sold 270,000 actual iPhones, not accessories and iPhones lumped. Still, the wording on the actual financial statement is very unclear.
