I'm still a bit skeptical at this point. I believe Windows Mobile has the best mobile offering for geocaching (with a proper GPS, that is).

Filed under: iPhone, iPhone 101Mobile Safari has always had a handy feature that i wished Mobile Mail would acquire. Apple must have read my mind, because it's now available.If you're unlucky enough to receive lots of email, you can quickly jump to the top of the list by touching the menu bar (where the time is displayed) as of the iPhone 2.0 software.

This is great feature of Mobile Safari! It is extremely useful when reading long pages like FF. I can't believe it has taken me over a year of iPhone usage to find out about it... D'OH!!!

Not exactly speedy.The 2.0 software makes this much easier. First, touch the Edit button. Next, ...
