I already have a functional 30-pin to DB-9 cable I picked up a few months ago. My problem is apparently that the requisite TTY either didn't exist or isn't implemented as it is on a standard UN*X. It would be nice if one didn't have to jailbreak to get a decent local command line with a standard UN*X toolset, but I guess that's too much to hope for. :)

cable has arrived, "screen /dev/tty.iap" does not currently DTRT. Will post a follow-up here when I have something to add.

presumably, one could also use screen(1) in conjunction with a 30pin-to-DB9 cable (google for "iphone serial cable") and have a nice portable serial console for UNIX boxes (something like "screen /dev/ttyS0"). I used to do this on a Treo (and before that on a Palm III and a Handspring Visor), but I'm not sure yet whether it will "Just Work" on an iPhone. I'm about to buy a cable and find out though. :)

ditto - site renders, but the portion of the screen that contains the video player is blank in Firefox 3.0.x on OS X and Windows XP (add'l fail for MSIE 6 on Windows XP SP2). what gives?

only works if phone number doesn't also change with phone ...

darkuncle marked one of Bhaskar's replies in Qik as useful. Bhaskar replied to the problem "Change phone number". darkuncle and 3 other people think it's one of the best replies.
