This is not 'legal' so don't do it. Later in the summer it is expected to become a feature.

It's Sunday, which makes it a perfect time for a little blog housekeeping, especially about a feature that used to appear regularly on Fridays.
As you may recall, after the death of Echo I put Your Friday Dose of Woo on hiatus for a while because I just couldn't get myself into the appropriately…
The next named storm in the Atlantic will be Nicole, and it is possible that it will form in the Caribbean. This mess of clouds and storms with a strong but now well organized low pressure system is unlikely to become a named storm over the next couple of days, but keep an eye on it.
Oddly, it…
This is great. Many people have already reported google's apple-dropping homepage in honor Newton's birthday. In case it disappears, here is a screen shot.
So, I got this awesome note from Dale Basler. He said that his class had analyzed this falling apple animation. What a very Dot Physics-y…
Shame on you if you don't know Al Jaffee. He's been a cartoonist for Mad Magazine going back to its founding in 1954. He is best known for the “Fold-Ins” which are hard to describe if you've never seen them. Click here to have a look. He also wrote the “Snappy Answers to Stupid Questions”…
Really not legal? This is really easy to do with a Windows Mobile phone, and my device, which is an HTC, has a wireless modem feature built into it. It's an AT&T phone, but I think you may have to purchase a tethering plan (I've never used).
Tethering is included in the $30/mo T-Mobile data plan. AT&T want to charge $60/mo on top of the $30/mo data plan for tethering, or will when they get to it. Currently they will terminate your account if they catch you. It is only the fact that they are the monopoly on the iPhone that has me using them - this may no longer be true (other new iPhone wannabes have similar browsers now?), but the iPhone Browser is the only one that really works as expected, and I live by it daily for traffic maps.
So how do T-Mobile survive? Which they patently do. And why then is tethering such a threat to AT&T?
I did notice that Ver 3.0 of the iPhone software, even on my 2nd gen 3G phone, advertises a Bluetooth PAN service. Can't actually do anything with it, but it is there.

I am a fan of the Opera Mobile browser (assuming that's what you mean by browser) also the Skyfire works very well with winmo. Both work as expected for me (HTC Fuze/AT&T) Keep an eye out on Fennec, it's currently in beta, but it's made by Mozilla (firefox) so once that goes to release version it will most likely be better than Safari mobile.
This is something I do not understand either. I guess they just want you to buy a broadband air card, as it is the exact same technology in a USB dongle. Makes me wonder what the difference in rate is between the Unlimited data plan for phone, and the unlimited data plan for the Broadband. On that note, I have unlimited data, with the most basic voice and leased text messages and pay about $83 a month. Haven't seen an option for adding tethering.
Very tempting to try this thing :)
do you know of anyway to download ringtones on the iPhone without paying through the nose??
this is a a good view on how computers work and how to fix them/ on the things that i was trying to do /
