The reviews seem to be mixed with some loving it and others having
installation or GPS lock issues. From the comments thus far it still
sounds like it's the best thing out there so far for the iPhone.

You can make an ftp site show up as a disk drive using apple-k to
connect to server and then put in ftp://some_ftp_site.com. The downside
is it is read only. Not sure why that is.

Huh?! .wav files (unless they're broken, which happens occasionally)
should play natively on the Mac.
I have added the file
airhorn2.wav
to both the path
/system/library/sounds
and
/users/mark/library/sounds
and neither file shows up when selecting to change a system sound,
such as Mail or Ichat.

Maybe I'll get flip anyway. Ironically, one of the sounds I'm trying
