@Jeff... The screen protector OtterBox uses sucks. I figure you have an InvisibleShield or something for it, use that and take out the plastic. The one on my Storm would come out with a little prodding, but I haven't seen the iPhone 4 one yet, so like Nate I can't be sure how that one would work. This case isn't really pocketable, it's designed for the greatest deal of protection, and to be used with the holster/kept in a bag/purse/Dinny-Approved-Murse. If you want to pocket, I'd look at the Commuter (coming soon). Another option that I've been reasonably happy with (on a smaller phone that was pocketed) was the Seidio Innocase. Not out just yet for the iPhone 4, but should be soon. seidioonline.com I would have no qualms dropping a phone in an OtterBox Defender onto concrete from 5-10 feet. Oh... look, Otterbox just released the Defender case for the HD2. Hmmm... **BRENT**

I'm pretty sure I bought this one on clearance about 3.5 years ago and it worked great in my factory Mazda radio at the time. Amazon.com: XtremeMac IPN-APL-00 Airplay2- Black: Electronics It was 10 or 12$ iirc. Had a few programmable buttons (helped in different parts of town). It was loose in the cubby under the radio when the car was totaled by an uninsured driver. The thing is lost in the abyss right now. Really, though... go with Kevin's idea. **BRENT**

Thanks for all the congrats guys... gives me the warm/fuzzies. The plan is to get a 100% company match on my contributions for a retirement fund. Except substitute JH1x for retirement, and Colin for company. **BRENT**

Maybe they tried calling to tell you about the local stores? Oh, wait, n/m. **BRENT**

Was offered a position with the company I've been a contractor with for the past 8 months. Switchover will be this coming Monday if we can push the paperwork through, or 2 weeks at most. I said I was getting JH13s when this happened... heh... maybe it's time to set aside a buck an hour in the JHAudio fund. **BRENT**

First off, @Jeff, you should be able to sell those here if anyone wants a case. If you want to protect a device, I've not come across anything better. Those cases are fantastic. Most will probably want to pull the built-in screen protector and use an Invisible Shield or something like that, but as far as protection, they're the best. Next, got a pop-up to upgrade to iTunes 9.2.1 today. Had some iPhone/iPad related "updates" and bug fixes. Has anyone mentioned these, or might they be important to you? iTunes 9.2.1 provides a number of important bug fixes, including: • Addresses minor issues with dragging and dropping items • Addresses a performance issue when first syncing to some devices with iTunes 9.2 • Addresses an issue upgrading to iOS 4 on an iPhone or iPod touch with encrypted back-ups • Addresses other issues that improve stability and performance iTunes 9.2 comes with several new features and improvements, including: • Organize and sync PDF documents as books. Read PDFs with iBooks 1.1 on iPad and any iPhone or iPod touch with iOS 4 • Organize your apps on your iOS 4 home screens into folders using iTunes These were just two of a few things, but were these available previously? I haven't gotten my hands on an iPhone4 yet, so I'm not sure. It just reads like reading PDFs through iBooks is a new things, and folders was on-device only. Just wondering. **BRENT**

Oh... I was doing it wrong, but at least I was doing it. Classically trained saxophonist, btw. I know that's kind of a new concept, (what, about 80 years old?), but it's kinda cool being 4th Gen (Marcel) Mule. Not that I'm any good, but whatever. **BRENT**

Hey Todd, is there a "Like" button you can add with vB 4? I think it's time, Nate... I think it's time. **BRENT**

You didn't get the VT25. You're dead to me. **BRENT**

Not sure if this has been posted before, but I don't care. It's great. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=7ydyh9l_jao It was played on this. **BRENT**

Good job, Colin... **BRENT**

If you want iPad support, maybe one with Bluetooth? **BRENT**

Parents didn't have to put up with listening to their kids play those 12 new drumsticks. Just wait til they start REALLY needing drumsticks and you start with the good stuff. Ahhh, to have someone buy all the stuff for you... those were the good ol' days, no? **BRENT**

I used to get reasonably inebriated before settling in for a 2-3 hour practice session on saxophone. I found it helped during the boring and pedantic areas of "getting back into playing shape" practicing. Though our young friend is far beyond that level, so who knows, crappy beer may suffice. FWIW, I am a more technically proficient player when inebriated than when sober these days... **BRENT**

@Fitz Duck it or... **BRENT**

@Fitz Fuck it or... **BRENT**

Nate... played with an X today... I like the hardware. phone wasn't activated so i didn't get a chance to test a lot of things but the size was manageable and I saw a ronan who made an appointment to get one. She asked my opinion and we talked about it f for five minutes. if petite 50 year old women love this phone the size should bee fine for you. I really did like the hardware.

Can't believe you beat me to this, Jeff. http://www.facebook.com/JHAudio/posts/137107519644788 **BRENT**

Just stopping in to offer congratulations as well, Nate! **BRENT**

@Nate... I wouldn't discount the Samsung Fascinate. No release date just yet, but I can't imagine it being TOO far off. If you have qualms with the Moto X when you get it in your hands, I wouldn't necessarily count out waiting a little bit. I know it's hard living with an iPhone for much longer, but if you're not in love with the phone, I'd hold off. I know the Galaxy S phones are getting Froyo, and I'm sure the Moto Droid X will too, but not sure when on either. When I find something out I'll let you know. **BRENT**
