Was waiting for that..

I use MSN a lot, and am always logged in. Like to see the emails as i get them in MSN.

I know gMail can do this, but I don't want to install any additional apps..

How much of the GB's of storage that Gmail offers do you use? Live mail is 5gb i think.

Also, my email provider doesn't infringe on my privacy and store archives of my emails to use against me :p

you're not supposed to be able to type in your email addy

on the same screen they give you a link you should browse to, from there, pay using paypal, then, when you tap "get license" it will automatically fetch your paypal email adress from the payment

license is registered on your device ID, not email

Yes, thanks - I was in a bit of a hurry, their server is busy - registered and working fine now... :D

The iTunes gift certificate algorithm was cracked recently so Apple might be stricter with 3rd party issued certificates, I always buy mine from the iTunes store though.

Cheeky bastard you probably have a US CC :p

i use www.globalitunes.com , they pretty good (when they're not on vacation...)

I looked at them at one stage and their discounts were way to good to be believed. There seems to be a number of scam sites running with way below cost iTunes vouchers all bought with stolen CC or paypal accounts.

Yes AFAIK. I've only used Wi-Fi before and have a 2G iPhone so you'll have to confirm that with another user.



This will make your life a bit easier:

Looks like iTunes changes that whole screen and I could not get that options in the pictures.

But weird enough I logged out and back in, all the sudden iTunes discover that I am in SA so it automatically kicked me into the AppStore with SA settings on.

So the only problem is I can not buy any music but it looks like the apps will work.

If I download a free app now to my PC using iTunes, will it then automatically install to my phone when I connect it again?

I took the screenshots shortly before posting the link here so it couldn't have changed!

To buy music from iTunes you'll have to buy gift cards / certificates from the sites people are mentioning above (watch out for scams though) and then redeed the code in iTunes.

Is this a dstv guide? Not like the lame one from some NZ company which only lists a few channels? Where do I get it?
Click to expand...

Yeah it is that one. But it works with all the movie channels so I'm quite happy with it.

You can get it from iTunes store.

Ibluetooth - I also thought I had to enter the email address and sent a rude email to developer. LOL. All I had to do was tap Get License.

Anyone get that xmltvguide working with dstv yet?

correction

of several companies (including yahoo, ms etc.)asked to submit their data to the us federal government for analysis, google was the only one to refuse to submit their cached data claiming to protect customer privacy rights.... happened early last year sometime, the exact details elude me...
 
mediawob.com update

So breach of the iTunes certificate algorithm is the cause of the delay:

Dear Customer,

It seems that some hackers in China have succeeded in cracking the algorithm used to generate iTunes Gift Certificate codes, and hence they have stopped allowing the purchase and use of gift certificates in the iTunes Store until they have a workaround in place. According to Apple Support it shouldn't take more than a day or so, but of course we are entirely dependent on them. If they have not resolved the problem by Monday (16 March), we will automatically refund your payment. If however you prefer not to wait and would like a refund now, please let us know.

As our recurring customers will no doubt confirm, we generally deliver certificates within a few minutes after receiving payment. We apologise sincerely for the current delay, but please trust that we're doing everything we can to get your certificates to you as soon as possible.

Kind Regards,
The MediaWoB Team

tvGuide 2.5 is up and it's the working version..
Click to expand...

Finally yes :) NO need to re-download / re-install if you have 2.5 already. Just delete the old channels, and re-add them. That will use the new IDs and everything should be happy.

Now if only you could have tap'ed what you wanted to watch, and get a nice reminder in your calendar or something ;)

Hey guys, just a reminder:

HOTMAIL NOW WORKS WITH iPHONE MAIL APP!!

No need to use HTTP> POP redirect apps or forward mails to gMail etc., just add it in mail as you usually would!

About damn time!!
Click to expand...

At last!!

I'm really cheesed off with Microsoft for taking so long to fix it, I've already moved most of my stuff over to Vodamail. Not sure if I want to move it back.

- Start App
- Edit Configuration
- Remove All Channels
- Click Done

Now, you should have the tvGuide running, and not displaying any channels at all.

- Edit Configuration
- Add all SA Channels
- Click Done

The app should re-initialise, show all the channels, and download the content :)

Hey iPhophiles!

I was wondering if anyone could care to upload a screenshot of their Intelliscreen arrangement - spent a while dicking about with it last night and couldn't find anything that didn't make it look like I was running Winmobile *spit*.
