I have seen that once or twice, but - although jailbroken - I don't think I have anything running in the background. -- Cheers ... Mark

I'm just surprised Jobs didn't come stomping in and insist they move some *other* things around so the externals were consistent... -z- -- email: nettid1 at fastmail dot fm

I wish he had. The other external difference between the iPhone and the iPod Touch - namely that the headphone socket is on the bottom - is the second most annoying feature of the iPod, since it means you can't listen though headphones when it's charging in a dock. (The most annoying feature, of course, is the lack of album shuffle.)

I knew that but hadn't thought of the effect. I often listen to music with my iPhone in the dock - that'd drive me mental. > (The most annoying feature, of course, is the lack of album shuffle.) Oh gods yes. In the vain hope that it might get into OS4 I recently sent Apple even more feedback on the matter. I just hope that other people are missing it enough to send feedback too... -z- -- email: nettid1 at fastmail dot fm |
