Elvis Presley would have an iPhone if he were alive today.
The Edmonton Sun's Bill Harris says:
He probably wouldn't have needed to line up to get one, but he would own one nonetheless.
"I think he would have been the first one around to have an iPhone, gold-plated from (Apple co-founder) Steve Jobs," said author Pamela Keogh, who wrote the authorized biography Elvis Presley: The Man, The Life, The Legend.
"Elvis loved getting new gadgets. He had one of the first portable phones, which was about the size of a table. It was in the back of the Cadillac.".....
If Elvis truly would have cherished an iPhone, how would he have felt about all the other technological advances that have occurred over the past three decades, both musically and otherwise?

How "Recovery Mode" can rescue your iPhone
iPhoneAtlas says:
Restoring the iPhone is a troubleshooting lifesaver. It can eliminate virtually all of the known operational errors documented for the iPhone to date. Unfortunately, as we've noted a number of times, restoring sometimes doesn't work....
Needless to say, an inability to restore the iPhone can result in user panic, especially if the device won't properly startup (the Apple logo is persistently displayed), is completely frozen or some other serious problem ensues....
This is where recovery mode comes into play. By putting your iPhone in this mode, you can almost always force a restore in iTunes, bringing it back into normal working order. Follow these steps....

Early iPhone Adopters Extremely Satisfied
Seeking Alpha's Jim Woods reports:
Paul Carton (ChangeWave Alliance) submits: The results are in from the latest ChangeWave Alliance survey of 74 Apple iPhone owners - including what these early adopters like best and dislike most about the new multifunction device. We also asked 3,000 non-owners about their future cellular purchase plans.
The Alliance survey was conducted July 18-25, 2007, less than a month after the iPhone's release - and the findings are good news for Steve Jobs and company.
Better than three-in-four (77%) owners report they are Very Satisfied with their Apple iPhone and another 15% say they are Somewhat Satisfied, for a combined 92% Satisfaction Rating - the best we've seen for a cellular phone device.

Email settings to use for your Apple iPhone for common Internet Service Providers (ISPs)
A new Apple Knowledge Base article says:
As Apple receives email configurations from the more common ISPs for North America, the table below will be updated. If your ISP is not listed, please contact them for their email server settings.
Important: You will need to create your email account(s) on the iPhone with these settings. Do not sync over your mail settings to the iPhone if you are using your computer send and receive emails since those settings may be slightly different from what's listed....

iPhone Does Not Display Attachment In Email
A new Apple Knowledge Base article says:
When receiving email messages with attachments (Word, Excel, or PDF files) represented by the paperclip icon, the attachment may not be displayed when the message is opened. Instead, a plain text version of the message is received and contains an attachment named Winmail.dat which cannot be viewed or opened.
Products affected
• iPhone
Solution
This happens when the email message is composed in RTF (Rich Text Format) with attachments. In some cases, forwarding the message to yourself may allow you to see the message. If it doesn't, then the sender of the email message will need to compose the email message in either plain text or HTML so that it can be viewed on the iPhone.

Finally, Corporate email for the iPhone
The Detroit Free Press's Mike Wendland reports:
One of the biggest shortcomings of the Apple iPhone has been largely overcome , thanks to a British company that has come up with a way for the iPhone users to finally be able to access their work e-mail.
Up until today, most corporations running Microsoft Exchange Server as their e-mail processors have blocked the iPhone from being able to get or send e-mail. But the UK-based Synchronica is using a service called Mobile Gateway 3.0 to work around those corporate roadblocks and bring full e-mail functionality to the iPhone.

Facebook adds iPhone To Friends List

Social networking site Facebook has created a version of its website specifically for users of Apple's iPhone.
Facebook for iPhone recreates the website in a width and height more suitable for the phone's size, with more prominent buttons and links to make them easier to access using a touchscreen.
The site includes all the normal features of the main Facebook web version, including news feed, messaging and status updates.

Skype comes to the iPhone
The Register's Ciara O'Brien reports:
iPhone fans are set have their wish granted, with the news that a German firm has developed an application that brings Skype functionality to the device.
One of the complaints that users of the hybrid phone and MP3 player had was relating to its instant messaging functionality, or lack thereof. German firm Shape Media has stepped in to fill the gap.
The application, dubbed "IM+ for Skype", transforms the iPhone into a Skype handset. The web application, which works through the iPhone's Safari web browser, allows iPhones to use the Skype messaging service along with its Voice over IP (VoIP) network.

Meebo online IM comes to iPhone
Macworld's Dan Moren reports:
And another challenger has entered the ring of web-based IM clients. This time it's Meebo, who knows a thing or two about that setup, having been providing web-based IM for computers for almost two years now. However, their web client proved to be a little too intensive for mobile devices, prompting many of their users to ask for a mobile client.
