ENJOY!!!

Can't wait till the home opener. My own little replay screen in the palm of my hand!

So how do you get the WEP code to get on the WIFI network at the stadium?

Am looking for a hands-free cradle for the car that will play my music from the iPhone.

I saw this one:

Seems pretty inexpensive so I'm wondering how well it works?

You will never be happy with a FM modulator.

ok ... care to elaborate?

What would you suggest (other than buying an entire new car audio system)?

I use something similar for my ipod in my truck - the sound's OK (not great), but finding a spare station to use is a pain - in Vegas (not sure about PHX), there's a slot or two, and that's it.

It's a good inexpensive way to make it work, provided there's a blank spot on the radio dial and you don't mind some sound quality degradation.

I tried the FM modulator, too, and Fiasco is right, at least in Phoenix.

I bought a new receiver that has two input cables for the iPhone. One plugs into the bottom and automatically plays the iPod and the other plugs into the top and plays whatever would come out of the headphones (from another app, typically).

 

[Fiasco]

I just put a Sony bluetooth enabled car receiver in my popup camper ($140) which streams audio via A2DP straight off my iphone (connects automatically to up to 8 paired devices upon power up).

Works great.

Here is my current incarnation of my house remote.

This can be done on the iPhone, iPad or iPod Touch.

Controls:

Lutron RadioRa2 lighting system (easy retrofit for existing construction). The first screenshot below is my Living Room lighting controls. The top six buttons are "scene" controllers and the middle buttons are individual lights (this area scrolls up/down to access all lights in the house). You can toggle full on/off with the button on the left and dim by sliding your finger across the light meter on the right (gives visual feedback of current light levels)

Audio/zone control Onkyo 875 (3 zones)
DirecTV HR20
HTPC running XBMC DVD software w/ all DVD's stored on a 14TB Raid server
HAI Omnistat thermostat
LG 60" Plasma in living room
LG 32" LCD in bedroom

Major nerd props in your direction.

If I get my wife an ipod, can she use the same ITunes that I do? (dumb question).

Not a dumb ? at all.

If you use seperate accounts that means you have to buy the same apps for each account. If you use the same account, buy an app once and install it on all devices.

So we can use the same songs that I have on my computer?

What is the next level beyond "major nerd props".

I got an iPad last month and with the extra screen real estate I pushed my home remote control just a little beyond.

 

[FArting]

I got my iphone couple of months ago. I am loving it.

It's not a bad device.... Really. And on AT&T... It's your only choice if you want a nice phone.


And since that was directed in my direction..... lol.......... I have worked for both companies. AT&T for 10 years.... VZW for 3 now.....

 

[Covert Rain]

There is only one company that has come out with an I-phone killer to date. Apple. They are the only ones that can kill their own phone with their own hardware issues. The other phones are catching up quickly but they are not there IMO. The Droid X is the closest to date.
