I'm not talking about the app on the OS, but the old Palm apps you could run, some of which are not actively developed or even have companies that can issue licenses.

I imagine the vast amount of people using this app will be former Palm users with valid licences for their programs.
Most commercial Palm apps wont work without a valid licence, so I'm not really sure what your point is, anyway.

Never seen that before. It really does look like your phone is a duffer.
I keep telling you to take it back to the Apple shop. Keep ignoring me, its not like its even hard to get to for you.
I was speaking to them and if you go in the morning don't even have to book an appointment as most of them are free in the morning.
Same as this Ed ^

From what I can see, running iTunes as Administrator (just once) may well fix that problem.
Alternatively, another suggestion I've seen is "try to sync your iPhone to iTunes and when the error message shows up press okay and then press sync again. Whatever the first song is that it is trying to sync go and delete it."

Or the connection cable is. I've had "unknown error" during syncing when I've had a loose connection.

There's an awful lot of pages on the web with people suffering the same problem, and curing it invariably involves rebooting the machine/phone or some similar faffing.
I haven't got time to go into town and stand around waiting for some Apple branded geek at the (ahem) 'Genius Bar,' but if it continues, the I will - with supreme reluctance - visit the home of the iBorg (I'm usually only ever in town on Saturday afternoons).
Press sync where? The phone doesn't appear in iTunes.
After unplugging it a load of times, it's working now.

Looks like the iPhone is getting multitasking, which is nice:

Well maybe. Or, maybe it'll be an amazing-new-unbelievably-innovative feature to send Apple fans rushing out to buy the next version of the iPhone. It would be nice if Apple rewarded its current iPhone users with an updated OS, but they're not exactly renown for giving away new features to existing users (see: video recording on 3G).

Only a fool wouldn't bow down to the sheer innovation and god like greatness of the iPhone now.
You're a freelance worker who lives 25 mins from the Apple store and your whinging about not wanting to visit it with a pre booked meeting (so you don't have to stand around) with a dedicated person at the store who, due to their enthusiam for the product, probably knows excatly waht to do & will help you out?
We all may find the opening day high 5'in rather stomach churning, but that aside, good luck with finding that sort of avalable service for your HTC or Palm.
tbh, I think you're secretly loving the fact that your iPhone's apparently a duffer. It ligitimises - to you- the bizzare & frankly obsessive chip on your shoulder that you have about Apple.
I don't know anyone with an iPhone (and I know a lot) that's had remotely a fraction of the problems you apparently seem to be having.

iPhones are powered by love. Editor isn't giving it enough which is why it's rebelling against him in the hopes of being sold to a nicer owner. My theory.

I do not like the fact that my iPhone has had problems any more than I enjoyed the hassle I had with my Pre. I don't enjoy having to make special trips into town to sort out any handset either.
I also dislike your endless personal digs. You've made a habit of following me around the boards to make these cheap little digs, and I'd like you to stop now please, They're unnecessary and nothing to the debate.

There is no need for you to charge into threads to 'turn my own style of finger jabbing on me' (whatever that means).
No one's asked you to be their defender against err, finger jabs, and these unprovoked personal attacks add nothing to the debate. Please stop them.

They are very helpful in the shop and you don't have to wait very long. There's no weird woops or high fiving just great customer service,
But of course if you'd rather suffer and complain than do something about it then that's your choice...

It will be interesting to see what happens. Sometimes there are legit hardware reasons for not adding a feature to older models, eg processing power. Sometimes its just an excuse to sell new devices, or a blend of the two. They will need to tread carefully with the multitasking, I can imagine them claiming it doesnt work well on older hardware, I can imagine quite a user backlash. We might get it as a software update, in which case I will be very happy but I can still imagine you finding a way to sneer at it.

Try using the search function. Or, even better, use your memory and stop playing games and disrupting this thread with your pathetic deceit. Besides, you've all but admitted it with your bizarre 'finger jabbing' comment.
Where am I 'suffering'? I posted up a problem and asked for help here. I looked it up online and thought I'd share what I unearthed (and that was a lot of people have suffered the same problem). Surely sharing such info and experiences is what this forum is all about?
FYI, I really am loathe to go into town in the week because I'm usually working throughout the day. Wirefresh doesn't write itself you know! (and I'm not exactly overwhelmed with contributors either).

FFS. What is it with the personal digs? Have I had a go at you? No. So please keep it civil.
Technically, there is no real reason why Apple can't implement MT on its older phones as far as I can see. It works on most other handsets and hackers have got it working extremely well for jailkbroken phones. MT would certainly cause some drain on the battery life and perhaps confuse users, so maybe that's why Apple is holding back.
It is ridiculous that I currently have to completely relaunch a game if I reply to a text though.

Sorry, I was not trying to get too personal, nasty or uncivil but I guess I overstepped the mark. I wont do it again, but I will risk annoying you once more time by suggesting that if you just occasionally resist seizing every single opportunity to grind an axe over Apple then people will find it harder to write off your Apple complaints as saying more about you than Apple. I actually agree with many of your reasons for not being a gushing Apple fan, and their excessive hype is bound to trigger an opposite reaction in some, but it sometimes feels like the balancing act aint working.
Stay tuned for a thesis on computing platforms as the new ism.

Yeah Apple tend to be a bit too conservative when it comes to stripping out features that could confuse the user experience or slightly compromise how fast a device seems/battery life. I cant imagine them abandoning this general strategy as the upside to it is responsible for a lot of the 'magic' that makes their devices desirable, but it can be deeply frustrating and limiting. It certainly feels like the timing is right for them to start adding some sort of multitasking, I think they know that it costs them some customers, and they dont have other commercial reasons to be against it like they have with flash.
