So, this is going to be the first in a series of totally different blog posts. I have enough notes on things I want to talk about, yet they are not enough for their own blog post. Some are social media related others are not. Some are deep others are not. Some makes sense others well don’t. Maybe you have the answer, cause sometimes I get things wrong. So lets start with the iPhone and iTunes, shall we? Ill share these thoughts in list form, as people like lists…
-Why does my iPhone not let me change the ring for new mail or text to something else? I can do it for phone calls but not for text or email.
-Why does my iTunes shuffle feature seem to play the same songs over and over but not others? Its SHUFFLE right?
-Why is the iPhone and the iTouch cost almost the same price for the 16gb? Why would you just not get the phone and not active that feature?
-Why does the date icon on my iPhone change to reflect the date, yet the weather icon always says 73 degrees. If they can do it for the date, how hard can it be for the weather?
-Why when I am sending a text my phone number options so home, fax, business, etc numbers, shouldn’t just the mobile number show up as an option? It is not like I am going to send a text to a fax.
-Why when I delete a song in iTunes that I bought from iTunes, download it again for free? I paid for it, you should have a record of it. What am I missing here?
-Why when in iTunes does the iTunes plus songs show up first? I know your going to say it is because they are $1.29. I get it. They want me to pay for the more expensive one. Fine. Why do they make it so hard to find the $.099 versions?

You can change the sounds for the text in the sounds menu in settings. Mail is just on or off though.
But the text sounds are only the preinstalled ones. Its not like where I can add new ones or pick a song, i.e ringtones. What is up with that?
my shuffle doesn't do that – but it does shuffle when I'm just walking, and no i dont wiggle lol ….
"-Why does the date icon on my iPhone change to reflect the date, yet the weather icon always says 73 degrees. If they can do it for the date, how hard can it be for the weather?"
The date changes once a day, the weather changes constantly so it would have to go out to the internet and get the latest. Also if you wanted the temp for where you are at currently it would have to enable the GPS, then go online and get the temp for the area in which your in.
I agree that its silly that its this way but i think it comes down to battery life.
I wondered the same thing about the cost for the iPhone vs. iPod Touch. I was informed that if you don't have AT&T and don't sign up for the contract/plan with the iPhone, the price of the iPhone is actually like $650.
