They cant change the settings or connect it to iTunes if you have the pin lock on though.

You can, just plug it in and click restore and *poof* goes your data and they have a new clean iPhone.

No you can't - if it's PIN locked then you need to unlock it before iTunes will talk to it. Although thinking about it I'm pretty sure it only does this if it's not the copy of iTunes that it's synced with, so it's quite likely that you will have never noticed.

No - it does this regardless - it has to be unlocked - it would make the pin pointless otherwise.

iTunes on my Mac mini has never needed my iPhone to be unlocked - it just syncs, but if I plug my iPhone in to my work PC for example it needs to be unlocked first.

Most announcements like this come later in the WWDC week. Sometimes even shortly after.

Safari 5 is a good example.

Couple of questions regards Mobile Me. Just looking at it now for use with PC and Ipad.
Ignoring the free rumour for now, as I have already signed for the free trial, can I still use the retail packs that can be had off 'that auction site'?

Also, notice Google is mentioned. I looked at this but could not find an easy way to keep contacts synced between PC, Google and Ipad?

Yes but make sure its from a seller with high feedback as there are a lot of dodgy codes on Ebay.

CEX used to sell the proper pack quite cheap......

cheers for that just ordered one for £35

ajf · 11 Jun 2010 at 10:08

Thanks.
Not heard of CEX before - assume as you suggested them they are good to deal with? Ever bought other goods? Seem to have some decent Macbooks too!

Seem to have quite a few shops too.

It should be free, the amount you have to pay for the phone and the tariff

They are basically a pawn shop but the mobileme codes they sell are the proper sealed Apple boxed codes so you cant really go wrong.

Never bought anything else there though.

My god your right my petrol for my car should be free the amount car/tax/insurance costs :rolleyes:

That's a fairly dim-witted analogy, since petrol isn't readily available elsewhere from free (like Google/Google apps).

Oh, and it's you're, not your.

Fial.

What is the email like on @me.com?
Does it have any spam fighters at all? Is it very fast (In comparison to GMail or Hotmail)?

I love it...

The new mail has gone live... I would suggest that you get a trial account and just give it a go... Had it for a couple of months now (full sub) and its fast, reliant and you can have aliases (which is nice)
