iPhone Tip – Using Safari Bookmarks
You can utilize a Safari bookmarks folder as your main iSafari bookmarks. This allows you to easily keep things differentiated between your computer and iPhone.
It’s Not Just the Software Boys and Girls.
I spent about 20 minutes earlier today playing with an iPhone and all of the features. Texting, email, video, audio, browsing with Safari. The screen is simply beautiful.
