I got a 3G iPad over the weekend. I intended to use it on business trips and use it to browse/respond emails. Yes, I could do that with my iPhone, but I thought i would prefer the larger screen and, more important, the longer battery time (I always ran out of battery with my iPhone under heavy...

Three issues for me: 1. There is no way to set reminders for birthdays that I include with a person contact information. 2. No way of easily setting up meetings that occur periodically like the first Monday of every month. 3. Spotlight does not seem to search the field note within a contact.

I use the birthday field with several of my contacts. Is there a way to set a reminder so that an alarm goes off as a reminder the same day or a week before?

I sometimes write notes associated with a contact. I just realized that spotlight does not search those notes. Is there a way around it? I have lots of information in those notes but can't seem to make Stoplight find that info.

I use it all the time. I have over 7000 contacts/events and cannot do without it. I bought my first iPhone in 2007 and returned it within a week: no spotlight and no cut/paste were no-nos for me. I kept my Treo until a few weeks ago when the first iPhone with true spotlight/cut/paste...

I agree. They better don't wait too long. If I were them, I would get it to market before the Pre hits the street. If the Pre comes out first, I will definitely buy one and if it works as advertised, I definitely won't have a need for the 3.0.

Well, the iPhone 3.0 has the stuff that has been missing. I read somewhere that it will not be available until the summer though, so I will have to wait anyway.

Well, a Treo 650 that is what I have now. I bought an iPhone (1.0) long ago and returned it because of lack of Cut/Paste and Global Search. Now that the iPhone does those two functions that I use all the time (plus other stuff), the dilemma is whether I should wait for the Pre or buy the new...

After buying an iPhone in 2007 in returning it within a week, I am very interested in finding out what the 3.0 will bring. I guess that we will all know in a few hours. With thousands of contacts and heavy business use, I returned the iPhone because it did not have a global search or cut and...

I meant to say that I have tons of calendar and/or memos as well that need to be available for searching. Thanks for bring this up. Sounds as if iPhone is still not suitable for my use. I just read that the iPhone has no "cut & paste" capability either. Not sure if that is true.

First off, I have been using a Treo 650 for many years now. Last December I bought the iPhone and returned it shortly thereafter after I realized that the iPhone did not have a global search (spotlight?) and could not communicate properly with my office e-mail (MS exchange support). I realize...
