iphone application for Sonos
Thanks again to Engadget for the picture
Sonos is still in my opinion the best streaming whole house audio system on the market. They just sweetened the deal by delivering a new iphone ap store controller for free. Using Wifi, you can control your Sonos (or a friends sonos) system. Check out the demo here
It looks like it should also work with the ipod touch so long as ap store access is enabled. This would be almost half the price of the sonos controller if you like that sort of thing.
Sprint Touch Pro Delayed – Sometime in Nov
As reported by Cnet and a local anxious fellow geek, the news has broken that the Touch Pro from Sprint has been delayed. Bonnie Cha of Cnet quoted her Sprint contact:
“Sprint expects to slightly delay launch of the Touch Pro by HTC to ensure we have adequate inventory in all channels before making the device commercially available. Customers can expect the device to become available in select national retailers by the end of the month and then in all Sprint sales channels including online at www.sprint.com and Sprint Stores by early November.”
Boo. But I’ll still wait. 
My first hand look at iPhone’s ActiveSync Support
So there has been a lot of talk about Apple supporting and licensing ActiveSync to connect to Enterprise Exchange servers. I finally got a chance to see it work in person from someone that is involved in the beta program with Apple. Of course the catch still is that you have to move to AT&T if you aren’t there already and deal with the cripplingly slow Edge network.
Some things I noticed during the demo.
Sharepoint sites perform quite well in the safari browser thanks to Microsoft’s testing for Firefox and Safari’s compatibility.
When you sync iPhone with Exchange, it doesn’t appear to handle tasks, or when you don’t want to accept a meeting request, it doesn’t handle suggesting a new time.
It does allow you to combine your exhange contacts with the internal SIM card though with is a cool feature.
Additional hardware capabilities will include more storage (up to 32GB) Native GPS support and wifi.
Will this make me switch to AT&T? Doubtful.
But will I subscribe for a “test” account and test device? Perhaps.
