Just posted a bug where the email app reports 2,147,483,646 unread messages when my mailbox is actually empty.

This is reproducible. It happens when the iPhone loses connection to the email server while downloading a message and then when that message has been deleted from the server before the iPhone ever gets to complete downloading it. Upon the next inbox refresh, the iPhone will report 2,147,483,646 unread messages.

This shouldn't worry anyone; it should be a simple fix and probably won't happen to many people at all anyway. It also clears itself upon the next refresh when there is new mail in the inbox, so no biggie.

Cheers,
FL

All the iPhone is doing is picking up your POP email. If you use Gmail or Yahoo, don't their junk mail filters do most of the work?

In any case, I'm not having junk mail problems.

But is anyone else finding that the accelerometer only works when it feels like it? I'd say mine fails to rotate about 25-30% of the time.

I feel for those unlucky people who had / are having activation problems. When the screen switched from "This process will take 3 minutes" to "More time is required to activate your account", I got the sinking feeling that I had just purchased a $600 AT&T product. I hope that Apple does something to assuage the pissed-off hordes. First month free anyone?

I'll look into it in 2 years when the iPod makes the current iPhone look like a play thing.

Mine would return to the menu screen while a webpage was trying to load on EDGE network. Also, if I had music playing while web browsing it seemed to slow down the loading process or the music would just cut off and/or it would go back to the menu screen and cut off the music at the same time.

Apple's management in this modern world is the real art of Management and it has become a part and parcel of everyday life, be it at home, in the office or factory and in Government. In all organizations, where a group of human beings assemble for a common purpose irrespective of caste, creed, and religion, management principles come into play through the management of resources, finance and planning, priorities, policies and practice. Management is a systematic way of carrying out activities in any field of human effort. Management need to focus more on leadership skills, e.g., establishing vision and goals, communicating the vision and goals, and guiding others to accomplish them. It also assert that leadership must be more facilitative, participative and empowering in how visions and goals are established and carried out. Some people assert that this really isn't a change in the management functions, rather it's re-emphasizing certain aspects of management.
Its task is to make people capable of joint performance, to make their weaknesses irrelevant, says the Management Guru Peter Drucker. It creates harmony in working together - equilibrium in thoughts and actions, goals and achievements, plans and performance, products and markets. It resolves situations of scarcity, be they in the physical, technical or human fields, through maximum utilization with the minimum available processes to achieve the goal. Lack of management causes disorder, confusion, wastage, delay, destruction and even depression. Managing men, money and materials in the best possible way, according to circumstances and environment, is the most important and essential factor for a successful management.

Is there a blog where people still talk about Apple microcomputers instead of fetishizing telephones?

Hello everybody,

sorry for being slightly off-topic. Since I guess the same people that helped me out will likely read in these comments as well, I'd just like to say thanks to all of those who helped me out with testing a Javascript test suite to find out more about the limitations and possibilities of web apps for the iPhone.

For those interested, I've written a roundup of the results here:
