Quick question about the syncing. You wrote we can sync using 3G. Can we also sync using wifi? Does that mean we can sync while on the road to our desktop version using 3G and also sync at home using our home wifi?
I can answer that - since the ipod touch doesn't have 3G - only wifi - it must be able to sync with that.. (and as I read Ken's comment - the 3G was an extra) | | | Paul |

We've run into an issue that requires fixing, so desktop version 3.7 will be required. To that end, we will be spit-shining the current 3.7 development version and will be releasing the first beta on Monday or Tuesday. So the bad news is a small delay in the iPhone release, but the good news is a 3.7 in the near term.
thanks for the update | | | Paul |

I was curious as to how a desktop person without any kind of wireless connection in the PC/WAN would sync the collection with this new i* program? |

I guess (and it's just a stab in the dark) that you coul always connect your iPhone with the USB cable (or docking station if you have one) to synch, no? | | | Blu-ray collection DVD collection My Games My Trophies |

Thanks, I understand that, but what about a über fast USB cable option to do sync operations? Well, I think its über fast anyway Thanks Taro, that is my point, USB would be my first choice to perform a sync, Wifi second (if I had it), 3G last. But, Ken doesn't specifically say "USB cable" and I can't see/don't understand if that is included or no. Doesn't Ken have to code that in? Does he want to code it in? What do I do if it is not supported once released and I have crappy equipment (other then the new iPhone then ) and still want to sync these? Please, forgive if I query obvious... things... |

Apple don't allow apps to sync data directly across USB. If you want to use USB, it has to go though iTunes. This is why developers that don't want to use iTunes sync wirelessly. |

This is why developers that don't want to use iTunes sync wirelessly. 100% correct - in order to USB sync Ken would have to have each file individually sync through iTunes... Awful... This is why most apps that have a desktop client as well sync via wifi... The 3G is bonus However the question still remains... Does the desktop version have to be open to sync | | | -JoN |

| Posted: | | | | Thanks for the update Ken, appreciate keeping us informed.
I am so looking forward to this! I hoped for a palm version for years and had to live with the offline web page copy. Just got an iphone4 last month and can't wait for the iphone app. |

| Posted: | | | | Agreed - thanks for the updates, Ken. Much appreciated! I was convinced that I would be getting an additional birthday pressie yesterday in the form of DVD Profiler for my iPhone 4...but am happy to get it whenever it's ready... |

| Posted: | | | | Maybe add a switch to hide from the task bar when minimized and be available on the icon bar near the clock? Kind of the way Task Manager operates.
As for "opening the port", I figure that means a port forward/redirect which directs all traffic on the specific port to a specific computer. Pretty much every router does this differently so please check your documentation.
Ken: I've seen apps auto-configure my router to create this port forward, maybe something to look into. |
