I had trouble when my Bold tried to use T-Mobile; had to lock it into AT&T to get full roaming capability.
Apple has locked down Pinch/Grab etc. in so many patents no one will touch it for fear of Teams of Apple Lawyers

Good Question Dan - also, why does anyone want to develop for Android when there are 8M iPhones are sold a quarter. Right now there are I think the 5 HTC phones that we saw on stage.. I think we are still 18 months from anything happening on Android

It seems to me as if Skype's mute function is still sending us some data. I've never heard that noise before.

Jim Courtney said:
I have a different headset on with the mic switch off as well as SkypeOut muted.
