BBC mulls dropping Flash as iPlayer meets iPhone?
The Register's Chris Williams says:
The BBC is considering ditching Adobe's Flash system for its iPlayer streams to improve the video quality of the on-demand service, it said on Tuesday.
The news came alongside an announcement that iPlayer will be available on Apple iPhone and iPod Touch in the next few weeks. The move is unrelated to the BBC's commercial arm setting up shop on iTunes this week.

Tether Your Iphone To Your Leopard Machine - Use iPhone EDGE Data On Your Laptop
Infomobile's Will reports:
It may not be a fast data-connection, but your iPhone's EDGE data service can prove invaluable if you're stranded and in need of wireless data ASAP. Jonathan "NerveGas" Zdziarski has just released a new method to tether your iPhone to your Leopard computer (laptop). For the uninitiated, "tethering" your iPhone to your laptop allows you to share (connect) your iPhone's data connection - your laptop is essentially using your iPhone as a wireless modem. The new method should be more reliable than previous iPhone tethering solutions.

You probably know that you can have your iPhone both ring and vibrate by adjusting the options under Settings -> Sounds, but what if you want it to vibrate first, and then ring, as many other cell phones do?

iPhone As A Touchpad
TUAW's Mike Schramm says:
I love this. Reader Jahanzeb sent us a little mini-app he cooked up out of vnsea that turns your Installer.app-enabled iPhone into a touchpad for your PC (and Mac, I assume, though the video above shows Windows). Once you've got the two talking to each other, you can click, double-click, and even drag windows around. Jahanzeb says scrolling is possible, "although it's a little rusty."
