What! iPhone 1st gen are getting screwed out of A2DP and MMS. Only iPhone 3G Customers will get this. Hopefully a new iPhone comes out so I can upgrade

So you're going to spend even more money on a phone and data plan just for MMS, which Apple decided is only good enough for 3G users?

They said due to hardware they can't allow MMS on the 1st gen

There was mention of Bluetooth. But did they say anything about Bluetooth file transfers (maybe for sending photos, etc)? I know we can use the email option instead, but not everyone's phone can access the web as easily.

All there needs to be now is a new iPhone with a better camera and video capabilities, and I'm sold.

Slightly disappointed about no Flash news with all the other companies showing off the new SDK. I suppose Flash is going to become the new "copy & paste".

Q: Flash? What are you doing?

A: We have no announcements on that topic today. But there are a lot of video streams we can handle. h.264 works great. We're adding HDTV streaming for audio and video. We think there's a lot of great video solutions for a single clip.

what an answer, lol

Wait, let me get this straight... no MMS on 1st Gen, because its different hardware?!?

My old Motorola from 2002 could do MMS. I think my 1st Gen should be able to handle something like that.

Pretty ridiculous they want me to upgrade to the 3G or whatever else comes out just for such a basic feature.

Well, I'm very very happy about this, however I will hold off till 3.0.1, as when 2.0 came out it was STUPID UNSTABLE.

I think most people also agree that an upgrade would be silly this time around, clean install and restore from backups :yes:

Exactly... I might understand stereo bluetooth because it actually deals with hardware but MMS??? Sending a picture to a server!!! C'mon!!!

If you had an iPhone 1st Gen on contract you should have been able to get the 2nd phone by now as the contract would have ended. Wasn't there an upgrade fee or something as-well. I don't know anyone with a 1st gen iPhone at this point they all upgraded to the 3G version by now.

I think the reason for not having MMS on the first iphone is down to it not having 3G and them not being able to reach an agreement with AT&T to do MMS over there 2G Network. Just my opinion based on what Scott said re: Hardware.

      The original word arts were far more awesome! With their own preconfigured fill patterns, 3D layout, etc, with options to fine-tune their size and colors as desired. I especially loved the ones circled below and still miss them from my primary school years: I frankly use them less these days 'cause the new one isn't as straightforward fine art as what we originally had, taking time and effort to get back to the same graphics quality as the original offered, which I simply don't have enough of for merely fine-tuning my presentation titles. Same with the built-in picarts selection. Bring back the original pre-configured options for word art then I'll be using them far more frequently in my presentations even today.
    • Why you need to take back control of your synced passwords and how to go about doing that

      By +Good Bot, Bad Bot · Posted

      What didn't you understand about that was mainly referring to Google, Microsoft, etc. keeping your passwords. Password Management is a key service of Bitwarden and it's not going anywhere. In any case they do offer export to other Password management services, backup/download of passwords, and the already mentioned on-prem option. I don't agree with the OP to use the free option as it's better to be an actual customer IMO. They don't just don't delete accounts like the big tech companies with no recourse which was the main concern of this article. I was confused if the author was trying to sell this setup? It should be obvious to anyone reading this article this solution is overly complicated and overkill for most users.
    • Ads in Now Playing notifications on Spotify Android mobile app?

      By Steven P. · Posted

      I got this notification just now in Android: So I went in to disable the "Other" or "Marketing" notifications in Notifications management: But it came through the Now Playing? So if I disable that I no longer get what's Now Playing in Notifications? I'm a paying subscriber, not on the free plan... can they sink any lower?
