Issues I discovered after update:
1. Mobile me did not sync my email accounts from apple mail. This should work right? I think my Iphone, Mail, and MobileMe should all sync, according to Apple. Maybe I did something wrong. I did follow the instructions for syncing through system preferences.
2. Is there a way to delete contacts from address book (mac) and have those deleted contacts then be deleted from MobilieMe and the Iphone? I found this to be a pain the butt. A great new feature though, allowing you to enter your contacts only once (your address book) and have that contact sync to your phone (especially if your going to use a database manager program like file maker)
Useless but cool things I like.
There is this cool little app that controls Itunes from your phone. And there are some other cool games, an ebay watcher (free), ny times icon (free), jott for recording notes, and other cool stuff.
Things that I'm working on...
I've been messing around for a new way to view the MLS from the Iphone. I have been able to paste my IDX code into a webpage by itself and upload it to my website. Its not that great but I'm working to make it better. The link is www.realestateinthetriangle.com/iphone Any mobile should be able to access. Let me know what you think!
Update on deleting contacts....
You can make an empty group in Itunes contact and sync the Iphone to that group. It will sync with the empty group and delete all contacts. This sure beats doing a manual delete. on every single contact. Then re-sync to the Address Book and your done!
2nd Update...
I mistakenly wiped out all of my contacts. I was trying to delete contacts in one place and ended up wiping everything out. This would have not been a big deal had I had Time Machine set up, but I didn't. I had to export my contacts from Skype (thank God I had all my contacs there!) I was expecting all of my email accounts to sync with MobileMe- its not really big deal, but thats what I was hoping for. Right now all of my contacts and email accounts sync through computer and Iphone only.
New Update...
If your Ipohone is not sync'ing properly, turn off sync'ing in the system preferences, fetch new data, advanced. I turned off sync'ing becuase my Iphone stopped sync'ing by itself. I think this was partly due from my tinkering around with the email accounts and what not.
From the home screen, tap Settings > Mail, Contacts, and Calendars, and then tap your MobileMe account. Move the slider for the data type that is causing you issues. Wait for confirmation that that data type has been disabled, then press Home. Confirm that the data has been deleted on your phone, and then turn syncing for that data type back on.
Once the data is gone (no longer synced)- after you turn it back on, it should sync directly from the cloud. It's much easier to woork on the contacts on the mac, then sync to the cloud. If you go to mobileme syncing in your system preferences, under syncing there is an advanced tab, where you can set the sync order. I did this after I lost my contacts then reimported them into address book from skype.

Well, when I updated 2.0 last night, I lost all 105 contacts. Not sure what went wrong, but it took me half the night to get a download and then the other half to update it.
Aim wouldn't work the first time, so I deleted it and re-downloaded it, now its working.
I purchased the gas mileage widget., put google on, jot it, AOL radio, Idetect (is a great tool to find Wi-fi signals), Salesforce and Speech cloud. Now I have my toys, now to use and understand them.
