What sort of connection do you get? Could you use it for a VPN?

It didn't regain a separate sound-in, sound-out pair of sockets. You
still have just one port that has to be designed as in or out in the
Sound system pref panel; for separte sound in-out you have to go to the
15" ...

Same here. Amazing that we're alike in that respect. I put it down to
blindness, perhaps not seeing so my body's got no concept of time of
day. I'm bollocksing my way through here but perhaps it makes some sort
of sense.

There's a jailbreak app that does it - X-road or something.

The slider is horrible for sighted users, too. At least, it is if you
want to set an exact number of minutes. I've given up and just set
something that's roughly what I'm after.

That sounds like about what I paid. Lots more than the less-than-a-pint
cost of the iPhone app.
I got both. My insomnia means I can sometimes do with a 20 minute kip in

Re: What is 'other' being used for in iTunes

2009-11-27T22:23:23Z

I *think* it's data used by the apps, but I'm not sure. 1.1GB is quite a
bit though - got any apps that store loads of data?

I would concur on this. I have in the past bought a couple of these
cheap things from gadget shops here in Camden and they work while they
work and then... they will not work with newer devices (i. e. 3G or
3Gs iphones or latest gen ipods) -I suspect it is down to some Apple
authorisation/verification routine in the firmware but whatever it is...

Just looked back - both my 'decent' ones have been Griffin iTrips.
They've worked in cars known for dodgy radio reception where the aerials
are built into the rear demister wires.
Cheap ones suffer from interference from the engine and other radio
stations.

Any particular recommendations of ones that you have tried? There are so
many differing reviews and things out there, I'm not sure what to get!

Now that is a good idea. I already use a small AppleScript to call

Certainly not - we (Caz and I) also use them. We use the Sleepmaker Pro
apps on the iPhone - Rain, Storms and Wildlife. Works very well.
Pzizz for the iPhone has a warning saying it will play an alarm at the
end of the track - I'm waiting for the version they they're bringing
out that doesn't have this alarm, since I'll want to use it for night
