Forum not working on Sidekicks/other mobile devices?

[Rukas]

For some reason on both of my sidekicks the reply box and the new thread box, what Im typing in right now, doesnt show up at all so I can not post.

Is this the same for anyone else? Trying to work out if its a problem with StreetHop.

What are you using? a sk3 and a skSlide?

I'll take a look now on my Slide (battery on my 3 is dead but I can check on that one later too), but I'm sure I've posted from it recently.

This is a test reply post from my Sidekick

OK, back on my PC now. That worked fine, and the New Thread button worked fine too, so StreetHop is fine. Perhaps it was just a temporary glitch that got sorted on either the forum or Danger's back-end servers.

Still doesnt work on my 3. I ditched the Slide had nothing but problems with it and missed the spin .

Eh, I don't miss the flip that much. The 4.0 OS, fastest processor and RAM of any Sidekick to date and hi-res screen more than make up for it.

Plus the MySpace app isn't available on the 3 here, only the Slide, and I've been using that a lot. I don't have any desire to keep using my 3, the Slide is a better mobile experience overall.

What problems did you have? I've had no problems at all with mine, I had way more with the 3.

^^ Other story for me. I miss the Slide OS yes, but I prefer to 3 to type on, and Ive never had a problem with it yet I found the Slide buggy as hell.

I might try the new red one, theory is if its newer the bugs have been worked out.

Myspace app is available on the 3 here (I actually beta tested it and got paid for it ). But, I prefer just going to m.myspace.com on the browser. I get so many messages and friend requests on myspace the app is always going off and annoying as fuck.

Yeah, I've heard of a lot of problems with the Telstra Slide actually, cos you guys got the first shipment of Slides before it was out anywhere else in the world. You probably would do better with a Red Slide yeah, they would have sorted out all the bugs by now.

I have auto accept set on MySpace friend requests so it's all good. Plus I have lots of accounts auto-saved on it. You can turn off the sounds for the MySpace alerts you know. The only major issue for me with the app is that bulletins don't work properly on it yet, which is pretty annoying.

That's pretty cool that you got paid to test the MySpace app. I've been working pretty closely with Danger here in the UK on a few different projects too. Can't say too much about that yet though.

oh so you ended up buying the iPhone?

 

[S. Fourteen]

didn't you make an iPhone thread with my name all over it?

 

[S O F I]

^It was about iPhone 2.0, the software upgrade (which I had to shell out ten bucks for on iTunes, those bastards). It wasn't about the device itself. Hence why I said "who has it besides salty" because the beta was released prior to the official release and you probably downloaded it before the official release, didn't you chap?

 

[S. Fourteen]

don't get technical on me S O F I A

I never owned the iPhone before the 3G, and the iPod touch I do own has stayed at jailbroken 1.1.3. Just shut up.

I use a real business device. It's called an iPhone. And the site works.

Children use sidekicks.

 

[Rukas]

^^ The iPhone? A business device? LOL! The iPhone is a toy. Get a PDA for business or even a Blackberry.

I use my Sidekick because it allows me to type quickly without fucking around with apps, special effects and touch screens.

Truth.

Sidekick's pwn. Especially when you have a dev key and can install your own apps and ringers

Don't speak so soon boys - the game has just begun.

(Fortune) -- Steve Jobs has won over legions of new customers since he returned to Apple, but one key group has stubbornly eluded him: big business.

The reason isn't a mystery. Apple's mercurial CEO decided a decade ago that corporate IT departments weren't worth the trouble. Though they buy tech gear by the truckload, when it comes to computers they often favor stripped-down, predictable technology - the stuff Jobs finds boring. Rather than chase that business, he has courted upscale consumers with innovative devices like the iMac and iPod that are as fashionable as they are functional. It's hard to argue with the results: Apple stock is up nearly 2,000 percent in the last 10 years.

But now as Jobs seeks to turbocharge sales of the 3G iPhone, he'll have no choice but to embrace the corporate stiffs. That's because while Apple's computer and iPod sales are healthy, analysts believe the popular smartphone has the most growth potential - and business buyers could be the key to its success.

Can Apple do it? With its strong brand and balance sheet, experts say now might be the perfect time to try. But the real question is whether Apple is willing to put the money and time into the humdrum work of treating businesses like first-class customers.

In the iPhone's realm, the most coveted customers are road warriors who read e-mail, surf the web, and handle multimedia files on the go. To date, most of them have embraced Research in Motion's (RIMM) BlackBerry, and devices running software from Microsoft or Symbian. But investors, believing that the iPhone can steal those customers away, have recently bid up Apple's stock on analyst hopes that the company can sell between 20 million and 45 million units worldwide next year.

Mark Tauschek, an analyst with Info-Tech Research Group, notes that though business buyers make up only 30 percent of phone users, they spend the most money. "To reach these lofty goals they have to make the leap to enterprise sales," he says. "That's where most of the pickup is."

There are already signs Apple is warming to businesses. The latest version of the iPhone, which goes on sale July 11, doesn't come in retail-friendly candy colors; instead, it's packed with features right off an IT manager's wish list: tighter security, support for Microsoft Exchange and Office, and software tools that let businesses roll their own custom applications, to name a few.

The new capabilities are enough to get Apple's handpicked group of outside corporate testers excited about the device; 35 percent of the Fortune 500, including Bank of America (BAC, Fortune 500), Morgan Stanley (MS, Fortune 500), Disney (DIS, Fortune 500) and Genentech (DNA), signed up to try out the software and tell Apple how to make it better. "Everything they told us they wanted we have built into iPhone 2.0 software out of the box," Jobs said when he unveiled it this month.

But now that they've tested it, will they buy? We won't know for several months. Wachovia (WB, Fortune 500) technology chief Jim Ditmore expects to include the iPhone among the devices employees can use for e-mail by October.

At Wells Fargo (WFC, Fortune 500), Steve Ellis, executive VP of wholesale services, notes that workers can't wait to get their hands on iPhones - he says he fielded two dozen employee e-mails the day Apple unveiled the business features. But while Ellis says he found Apple wonderful to work with, he acknowledges that winning over other IT managers could be a challenge for a company used to wowing consumers. "Enterprise is kind of a new thing for them."

Gartner analyst Ken Dulaney puts it more bluntly. "Apple's reputation's not good. Most of the companies I talk to say that when they bring the Apple rep in, the first thing he says is, 'Why should we work with you?' Not the kinds of practices that endear you to the enterprise."

And while Apple's penchant for dramatic product unveilings may thrill consumers and the press, it just annoys businesses who like to plan for new technology well in advance. Apple's decision to build all iPhones itself and offer service exclusively through AT&T in the U.S. has Gartner is recommending that clients who buy the devices avoid using specially developed iPhone software and stick with e-mail, calendar and contacts, in case relations with Apple or AT&T (T, Fortune 500) go sour and they need to switch to something like BlackBerry or Microsoft. That may sort of defeat the purpose of getting an iPhone - but businesses can't afford to put all their eggs in one basket. Says Dulaney: "The iPhone does have a place in the enterprise. It just might not be as broad as something like Windows Mobile."

Will business buy the new iPhone? - Jun. 19, 2008

The thing Apple is best at? Making it exciting to own one of their products. If Eric thinks it's a great business tool - so will millions and millions of others. Just wait until we see an iPhone on steroids - hehehe.
