I'm pretty sure there's an app for that.

I am selling my iPhone 3G on kijji and for whatever reason, there is a TON of interest in the thing. If I do a simple factory reset through iTunes, is that enough to completely wipe out my personal information that is on it?

You don't even need to plug it into iTunes. Just go to settings>general>reset>reset all settings and erase all content.

Perfect, thanks. I had already done the reset through iTunes, but doing it this way again completely put it back to square one, and has to be hooked up to iTunes to get it to work again. Exactly what I wanted. Thanks guys.

I'm surprised to hear that people are still interested in these things. Mine has been handy for streaming internet radio to, and more recently as an unlocked phone to take with me overseas (works like a charm). But aside from that, the thing is dreadfully slow, even after a full reset, and many apps won't even run on it anymore.

It suits my needs as a travel phone and a spare iPod around the house, but if I had to rely on it daily, I'd go nuts.

That being said, I hope that you're able to sell it and get some coin for it. If you don't mind me asking, what are you hoping to get for it?

What's the simplest way to get a US app on an iPhone / iPad? It's a free app I think.

Create a US Account. To do so in iTunes bottom right corner (of the store) choose USA. Log out of your current account.

Hit download on the free app, it'll ask you to create an account. Proceed doing so. When purchasing a "free" app it lets you put payment as None.

Then on your iPhone/iPad if you login to that account it will auto-redirect you to the US STore.

I'm trying to get Telemundo or some such streaming through AirPlay, just got a Boxee Box and if I can get one of the streaming apps to work we can probably get rid of satellite, or most of it anyway.

Got the apps but they either a) don't work even if I use the Unblock-US DNS or b) have almost no content.

Gonna try a free Hulu+ trial next maybe.

I know, mine was atrociously slow. In the first 12 hours I probably had close to 20 people emailing about the phone. Some of them might have been fake spam emails, but it was sold for asking price the next day. I noticed some were up for sale for more money, but I got $100 for it.

Any word on when the new Macbook Pros will be coming out?

Edit: Also, do you need to have the Airport to use AirPlay, or will it work with any WiFi network?

Any Wifi network for Airplay...

And for the MBP, MacRumors buyer guide has it mid product cycle so still quite a while...

Which one you going for?

Apologies in advance if this question has been asked a thousand times, I did a few generals searches but apparently you guys occasionally talk about Flash in here.

We have an intranet site at our company with a variety of Flash dashboards and unfortunately for us, most of our execs walk around with Ipads.

I've done a bit of searching and one app called iSwfiter seems to indicate it'll do it, but after downloading/installing, it looks more like a flash app solely for games.

What are my options? Am I screwed?

Redo the intranet (probably not an easy thing) or tell your execs that if they want to access these dashboards, they need to either use a computer or get a Playbook or Android device.

Didn't Adobe come out with a tool to convert Flash to HTML5? or am I delusional?

Yup, you're probably screwed. Sorry.

Interesting, one of "news" pieces that started the whole controversy about Apple in China turns out to have been a fabrication - they've had to retract it.
