iPhone Group --> 9/20/08

I looked at some of the threads today and a couple are people that are not finding things on the phone. One guy could not figure out how to send pictures on his phone, he was trying to send a message with an attachment. I knew this previously before reading this that the new iPhone does not offer this feature. The only way that you can send pictures on an iPhone is to select the picture and send it via email. It is not possible to send or receive pictures on the iPhone via text message.

What is interesting about the Yahoo! groups is the fact that you can see the person’s real name as well as nickname. I think this is interesting because a lot of forums that I previously have used, a nickname is created and displayed. I looked at a couple previous days worth of threads and the names and found that there are a lot more men commenting in this thread than women. I do not know a specific reason for this but it is definitely evident in this group. Do more men own iPhone then women? This could be a possible reason but maybe in the next couple of days there will be more women posting. There was a thread opened today by Kathryn (ram_kat) asking about any good word games. It is easy to search for word games on the apps programs but so many come up it is hard to decipher what games are worth the money or the free download. About an hour later she got a response from a user known by CJ. CJ had no other information besides an email address that linked back to their phone. Maybe if responding from an iPhone your information is not displayed. It is weird because to access the site you still have to sign into Yahoo!.
