some iphone-related fodder. I use a windows mobile phone which is wifi capable – with a Skype client. Saves me megabucks when overseas. No native iPhone Skype client – until now – see http://www.fring.com. Would be nice if Skype released their own, but the usual conspiracy PoV would suggest Apple does not want to bite the “Telco hand that feeds it”. With crappy exorbitant Oz data costs, iPhone over 3G will make little sense. But get near a wifi spot…..
Enjoyed the show. D700 looks good but will “put up” with D3. (!) ps did my (corrected) requests for “shitter delays” get passed on to your nice Nikon lady pps Cameron seemed to hint at a firmware fix for some SB800 anomolies; I have certainly experienced a few; can he elaborate in the next show if he is able to as to what is coming down the line? ppps which Melbourne dealer would Cameron use to buy pro gear if he was spending his own money…
