I think the only thing I'd miss - and I'd miss it badly enough to not want to buy the next iPhone until it's jailbroken - is LockInfo, which puts various bits of info on your lockscreen: http://yfrog.com/1eb9mrj In the unlikely event Apple provide something like this, I might be happy not to jailbreak. Actually, no; I also want to scrobble music as I play, using Scrobbl. I don't think I'll be buying until it's jailbroken... -z- -- email: nettid1 at fastmail dot fm

Automatically block calls from unknown numbers, or calls from numbers with less than <n> digits. Block all calls but automatically reply with a text for times when you mustn't be disturbed... It's the most used app on my phone. MST

At the moment Apple's voice memo isn't bad, but it takes far too many key presses to activate it to take a quick note. I can access iPod from the lockscreen, so why not Voice Memo? MST

I only very rarely get phone calls from people I dont know (ie, less than one a month) so it is not a problem. The only time when I should not be disturbed is when I am sleeping, in which case the phone is downstairs so I wouldn't hear it anyway. -- Woody |
