SOLVED
Updated 10/13/2008
I finally found out what the icon is – it's for TTY access. Apparently I either turned it on by accident, or it came on by itself…
I have searched a bunch on this one, and haven't found an answer. I'm using the new 3G iPhone, and the newest firmware (2.1) and today a strange icon appeared in the top bar that I can't find anything about. It's the second from the left in the close-up above – the keyboard and phone thing.
Here's a bigger version showing the whole screen…

JBL On Stage IIIp first impressions
August 28, 2008 By Leave a Comment
I bought a JBL On Stage IIIp for my iPhone in the hopes that I had finally found a good docking solution that actually worked with the iPhone. So far, my experiences have not been that good.
The product has been reviewed for it's feature set in many other places – I was attracted to it by the fact that it was a speaker set that supported the iPhone, and had a small amount of menu control via a small remote.
I mainly use it at work so I can have music while working, and not have to contort my hand to get to the menus while it's in the dock – hence the remote requirement.
So far, the following is happening, and I can't find any resolution:
- No matter what album/artist/playlist I select, it only ever plays one song in an endless loop. I have to hit the next button on the remote, or on the iPhone.
- 80% of the time when I dock the iPhone, it spits out the usual "this accessory is not compatible with this iPhone – would you like to go into airplane mode". Power cycling the JBL usually gets rid of this.
I'm going to keep searching for a solution, but I'm not confident I will find anything based on my initial results…
Upgraded WordPress / WordPress iPhone app
August 4, 2008 By 1 Comment
I upgraded WordPress today to version 2.6 which I had been putting off for some time. The upgrade was surprisingly easy, but there are a few things that aren't working after the upgrade. My Flickr photo plugin appears to be activated, but doesn't seem to be serving images, or causes the browser not to load anything except the header.
I'm still trying to figure out that piece, but everything else seems to be working correctly. The upgrade wasn't supposed to provide a huge amount of new features, but there are a few nice things such as the word count, Google Gears compatibility to make things a little faster/smoother, and a few other things.
I also started using the WordPress app for the iPhone and have posted a few times with it, even with pictures. I started using it with my first gen iPhone and it seemed to work just fine for standard posts, although it was a bit slow. Uploading pictures is not tenable with the first gen iPhone – it takes too long over the EDGE network. Wireless of course works fine.
Overall, I love WordPress and have had no problems with the core software.
