I mentioned in the last post that my car adapter wasn’t working correctly with the dock connector on my iPhone. Well, it turns out that my adapter was dieing, not that it didn’t work with the iPhone. I picked up a new one last night and all is good. Yay!
Yes, I bought one. I doubt that anyone that knows me is surprised by this. I’ve had it for a few weeks now and overall I’m happy with it. Like everyone, there are some software functions I’d like to see added, most notably a to-do list program. I’d also love to have a book reader, whether that be text files, PDF, or something else.
I was looking around for some information on a car adapter that can use the dock connector, but nothing so far. It will charge off my current adapter just fine, but the audio doesn’t work well at all. Unless you like high-pitched screeching noises in which case it’s perfect. So I modified the headphone plug on my cassette adapter to fit. Yes, that’s another problem with the iPhone. Standard headphone plugs won’t fit.
I did find an article saying that you can sync information and music files on separate machines. I’m happy to hear that as I keep my contacts and calendar on my PowerBook but use my Windows server for all my music. This way I don’t have to move the music onto the PB just to sync it! I ran it through this morning before work and all seems to have worked quite well. Now to clean up the files from my PB.
