iPhone Video Games
I own an iPad. I own 2 iPhones (jailbroken on T-Mobile). I also own an Evo 4G. I use the HTC Evo so much, that I bought two extra batteries. I use the iPad for 4 things, which are iPod, Angry Birds, Plants vs Zombies and Videos.
Video games on an iPhone is probably the worst thing I can imagine. Racing cars and blasting aliens makes no sense to me. The controls suck! There are PSP's and Xbox's for video games, and phones for, well, phones. I'm not one to really care about others opinions when it comes to entertainment, I like what I like. I'm just expressing that "Reckless Racing," is a horrible concept... to me.
-Love my iPod
-Love...hmm, maybe, 5 games in total
That's about it. Even copying and pasting still sucks on Apple mobile products.

T-Mobile HD2 Logitech Wilife
I recently purchased Wilife, which is a very inexpensive home security system. I won't get into the details about Logitech Wilife, because chances are you already know what it is and that is why you're here... looking for a solution.
I purchased the Master System on Amazon.com for $150.00. Great deal. I purchased an extra camera for $109.00 but accidentally bought the PRO version, which is not really compatible. Now I need to return it or buy the power adapter, which I'm told will definitely work. We'll see.
I bought my mom a T-mobile Dash 3G and Myself a HTC T-Mobile HD2 (Radio Shack had it on sale at $99.00 and came with a free Plantronics Bluetooth headset). I assumed that Wilife would at least work in Relay mode with these devices.
Well to my surprise, the HD2 is NOT supported. Frowny face! What a weird thing to happen since the HD2 is arguably the best WM device as of this post. Anyway....
I searched and Googled (not Binged) for a workaround. Silverlight won't install on the HD2. Opera will allow flash to work on the HD2, but ONLY in Canada and overseas. Bummer.
Then I thought... DUH... try using Internet Explorer (as opposed to Opera) on the HD2 to view the Wilife stream. Nope... didn't work.... UNTIL I put IE's settings in MOBILE VIEWING as opposed to viewing in DESKTOP MODE.
Now I can view my Wilife cameras on my T-Mobile HD2 whenever I want, wherever I please. It worked great over 3G. It did have a 20-30 second delay, but I'm not that picky.
I must warn you to be a little patient, because after you click VIEW MY CAMERA, it takes 20 seconds to load on the Windows Media Player. When your 3:00 minute viewing time is over... it takes about 5 minutes to refresh to watch again.
T0 be safe, I open Task Manager and close WMP after viewing the stream.
Good luck :)
