iPhone power tips from Mac | Life

Some of the tips are a little obvious (like #6: surprise, surprise, if you can't see the camera button while the phone's turned away from you, place your finger before you turn it-- brilliant!). And there are plenty of omissions-- I know for sure that Battlefleet, the best game I've seen on the non-jailbroken iPhone, is missing, and there's nothing at all about Installer.app or any of the craziness you can pull off with that. That's a big deal, even though it may be a little more underground than Mac | Life wants to go.
But there's some good info here, especially if you've just recently plunked down the cash to AT&T and want your tips all in one place. Just make sure to come back here and pay attention when you're done.

Thanks for the link to the article, Mike. I wouldn't have seen it otherwise.
But...
Is there anything more annoying than an article that makes you click through nearly a dozen pages? Just put the article on one page... Two if it's really long.
Are they trying to get more clicks or lengthen each user's stay? WTF!?
Life's too short!

I rented a Subaru 08 with the stock radio and 6 disc MP3 player. The stereo has an AUX port near the lighter. I plugged in my iPhone using the Belkin Male to Male cable. I did not get any interference while using the phone or internet.

I've tried this. I does not work.... Well kind of. The buzz is less often but when it does happen, the intensity is stronger.
