KABOOM!
KER-POW!
KER…ER…SPLAT?
Yep, the iPhone journey was going far too smoothly, and being the ‘realist’ that I am, I was kinda expecting something to go wrong – however, this far wrong, I was not prepared for!
What the hell am I talking about? Well, as some of you who follow IntoMobile daily, I’ve been in the process of porting wholesale to Apple technology – a process which until the other day was going well.
I should pre-empt any further statements by saying that there is also Microsoft tech in my current network, which is pertinent to what I have to say going forward…
So, day one with the iPhone, connected to XP and Outlook 2003 – not an uncommon setup I should imagine for a proportion of iPhone users out there – and all was well. Using the rocketship analogy, we had blasted off toward Planet Apple, and were maintaining good velocity, when BOOM…. calendar and email go down on the iPhone….
Rather than write the world’s longest blog post, I am going to serialise my trials and tribulations with sorting both these issues out (which are not completely fixed, even now)… check out what happens in upcoming posts Rocketship Apple: email, and Rocketship Apple: calendar !!
(Note: Windows users with iPhones, please note the upcoming posts will not make pretty reading, you might want to have a box of tissues, and something you can squeeze the life out of handy!)
