if you're a contract IT developer like me then I wish you luck as there is not much work out there, at least not in Europe or Australia.
fortunately my current contract is renewed until end of year and I'm already negotiating next years renewal.
sorry for my little joke... but I guess there's lots of us wanting to cash in on the iPhone scene

I'm a contract IT Support person, wish I was a developer. its ok I worked long enough for Employment Insurance to kick in and help pay bills; but its slim living and I hate it. I'll work construction in the cold before I consider that. Tough times indeed. Couldn't renew as Bank re-organization and budget is tight. Current employees are already worried about their jobs as it is. The entire team and manager want me to stay but cannot extend contract and hiring freeze is current until fiscal 2010 - so in January I'll apply directly and I already have 3 solid references. going to look at the banks' competition (3 others) for now. I really like this bank though. we'll see how it goes.
I've wanted to own a Mac since the eMac debuted; and since Intel the prices for White MacBook 13" are getting cheaper, but I want a unibody (still too much out of my account).
I enjoyed the joke actually. spot on. not all those that created apps came from a programming background and those that didn't have made fortunes to live off of.
So when you finish it post here and Bon Chance.

oh yeah back on topic.
A few new questions:
What stereo headphones/headset (with mic) combo are you guys using?
What is your iPhone/iPod stereo of choice?
How do I view PDF files on my iPhone? I thought PDF ability was built into OS X the base of the iPhone/iPod_Touch??

@prom1 am using these Wesc Maraca headphones with my iPhone 3G... amazing sound quality and in my opinion some of the best looking headphones around!
Previous to them i had some skull candy lo-riders but the Wesc's beat them hands down... |

Griffin SmartTalk headphone/mic adapter with Sony MDR-EX71SL earplugs. Superb sound quality.

I'd forgotten about the MDR's... I still have a set of MDR-71SL and -81SL somewhere, they were always a good headset.
I'm still looking for a usable bluetooth A2DP headset but nothing really satisifes me as I don't want to have anything wrapped around my head (either top or back), and I prefer in-ear anyway and so that just leaves the wired BT headset but those all seem to have too much cable which still gets caught on stuff. best I've seen so far is the dog-tag style but the ones I have tried didn't sound too good

The Griffin SmartTalk is not the best... I had mine for 3 months before it became faulty... it is known to become faulty easily...
I am also looking for something similar but don't know what to go for...
Cheers
 ENJOY

I've tried SE HBH-DS200 and the sound quality is OK (not excellent) but the missing volume controls on it is a problem as the iPhone doesn't allow controlling the volume from the phone when paired with a Bluetooth headset. There the Nokia BH-500 is better equipped.

Ok, I'll see how long mine last. Had it for about a month but don't use it very often.
Most of the time I use Nokia BH-500 stereo Bluetooth with the same Sony earplugs (never the bundled Nokia plugs) but am not impressed with the sound quality when paired with the iPhone. But I play mostly audiobooks and podcasts so sound quality is not so important. The BH-500+MDR-EX71SL combo sounds excellent when paired with an E90 but iPhone+MDR-EX71SL without the Bluetooth receiver sounds even better.

I have been trying the OtterBox Defender Case for a few days. Excellent protection but there is a tiny gap between the display and the plastic window in the case covering it so you have to press harder in the corners for the display to register. Makes it feel like an old WM touchscreen 
So I went back to the iLuv silicone case and a screen protector, plus this fake leather case which is quite good apart from the fact that it isn't real leather so I don't expect it to last very long.
The one I ordered was called PCMICROSTORE Apple iPhone Black Leather Texture Horizontal Holster Carrying Case With Belt Loop And Clip but it looks exactly like the one linked above. (Note the term 'leather texture'...)
. . .
Regarding the bugs in the new 3.1 OS; another one which doesn't occur so frequently: twice over the past couple of weeks since I upgraded the phone has lost reception showing No Service without regaining reception again automatically:
Both times this happened when the iPhone was stationary at home
Other phones can loose the signal while passing through areas without coverage but they recover once you reach an area where there's a signal.
I'm still trying to decide which of my old backup phones to switch to (XDA EXEC, G700, P990i) while waiting for Apple to fix all the bugs in the new OS but none of are them come even close to the iPhone in usability (even with the bugs).

Definitely something weird with 3.1 - there are far too many reports of issues for there not to be - but I can't say I've experienced any of them. Reception for me is just the same as always - I'm in a rural location so there have always been places where the iPhone (and my previous phones) would drift in and out of signal even when stationary. 3.1 is just the same in that regard and manages to recapture signal again just the same as always.
