    Just a note, Safari 4 beta really broke my apple mail. As far as I’ve read you need to switch of growl, which is no problem. It still seems to be breaking, specifically when mail is hidden, and it’s downloading new mail. Any other help out there?

    I would really appreciate it if you guys can find out a bit more about Google Maps? It is unfortunately one of the features of the iPhone is SA which is useless.

    They might as well have released the 2G model in SA, the 3G’s GPS cant be used with maps, and Vodacom’s network is very unreliable.

    Thanx for the great show!
