We thought this advertising at Rehoboth Beach, Delaware was interesting, especially as our iPhones were unable to make and take calls due to weak signal.

Ironic, don’t you think, AT&T?

This is an available login screen when you look for WiFi at Starbucks, in Washington, DC. It doesn’t look like ATT Wireless or iPhone customers are supported in using WiFi here, right?

It felt really smart all of a sudden….

iPhone, how much do I like you?

Now that I have Entourage, iPhone, and iCal synching beautifully, I didn’t understand why my iPhone calendar was off by three hours. I thought something had broken. Lo and behold, there’s a time zone setting on the iPhone itself, that makes everything respect the time zone setting for appointments in Entourage. Set that and everything works when you travel around.

I especially love the soundtrack “I wouldn’t want to be inside your hands” Who sings that?

It works!

Thank you iPhone and good evening.

I followed the instructions to check my LCD model number and it is one of the “affected” models. And by double quotes, I am signifying that the article is just silly. I am as critical as the next person about the quality of products and the brightness of the iPhone screen isn’t an issue for me at all.

It’s interesting to see that there’s a market out there for news for people who have the iPhone, and those who don’t have the iPhone. I guess that means that it’s an unqualified hit!

The iPhone has definitely been successful in causing me to take another look at a few iApps I haven’t really used very much, namely iCal. iCal is pretty good, but I don’t like that it sends invites from only one account (I know you can hack this, but still…), and of course the issue that iCal doesn’t connect to Microsoft Exchange natively (and there’s a way to do this too, using Snerdware’s Groupcal). These are all fixable, however, Entourage does this out of the box, so path of least resistance. Entourage, though is Rosetta-ware, until the new version of Office comes out and it’s a little bloaty, but it does work well.

Enter iPhone - it’s set up to sync with iCal, and it says in the documentation, Entourage, and lo and behold, it works. People have been asking about it, so I’m posting my experience here.

Here’s a gallery of relevant screen shots, click to view:

Here’s what I did:

1. In Entourage, Go to Preferences, Sync Services, and check the box for the calendar you want to sync to (I’m choosing to not bring Exchange into this right now)
2. In iCal, create a Calendar named “Entourage”. I think if you don’t create this, it will be created for you anyway.

Voila. Entourage and iCal are talking. And they like each other too.

3. In iTunes, with your iPhone connected to your Mac, click on the Info Tab, and scroll down to Calendars
4. Note the setup here is a little goofy. Click on “Sync Selected” Calendars, and both Entourage and Personal
5. Change the “New events” setting to Entourage

4 and 5 I figured out because when I only had an “Entourage” calendar and added a new even from iPhone, it created a “Personal” calendar, which did not sync back to Entourage. When I clicked on “Sync Selected,” it allowed me to change the “new items” setting to Entourage

So…it works now. iPhone talks to iCal which talks to Entourage.

As I said in #1, I’m not interested in syncing all the way back to Exchange right now, but this should get anyone started on that path.

And the iPhone is an incredible device. It will be that much more incredible when it can do MMS. Thank you, Apple, Inc!

It’s rastastic, raslicious. RSS was tailor made for iPhone. Now we have it and the Internet is easy to use. Hooray.

A few points for Newsgator, however, Google reader has a bit of an edge because it will pull in the original text of a blog/web site without making you go visit it if you ask for more.

With no disrespect to the iPhone at all (which I love), I think it’s interesting that Apple is marketing it as a device that gives you the “real” Internet, not a “phone” version of the Internet, yet at the same time, everyone’s producing iPhone versions of the “real” Internet. What’s “real” anymore?

Maybe the goal is to create an iPhone version of the Internet, with it’s own domain, .iphone perhaps?

Tip of the headphones to the team at Champagne Buffet for this lovely iPhone movie finder. It came in very handy last night when it was discovered that Hairspray was sold out…

(Note, it won’t look very good on any browser except iPhone, just as intended)
