Erica:

Hello. You seem to be the world’s foremost expert on this topic. I was wondering if you could help me answer a question about Bonjour on the iPhone.

Do you have to be on WiFi to use Bonjour to transfer XML data from one iPhone to the next or will it work on the AT&T wireless network

Also do you know if iPhone 2.0 will support XML data file tranfers between iphones using Bonjour (without unlocking the device)?

Thank you very much!

Erica–

How about a break from the dreary by delving the past?!

At one point you provided the command line string(s) I could use in Tapp to check iPhone’s partitioned memory areas. Months and one hard drive crash later, I can’t find my notes for the string(s). Nor can I find them using this site’s search engine. I’d very much appreciate your reminding me what they are.

Thanks!

Erica - Sorry this is off topic, but after trying to post this on TUAW four times and having the comment disappear every time, this is my response to your question about USB hubs:

“Let me second this monitor with USB idea, if not with an Apple monitor. I have an original, two-USB port Mac Mini, and I have it connected to a 19″ Dell with four ports. Nice thing about the Dell LCDs, though, is that there’s a lot of flat space on the back, so after connecting the Mini to the Dell, I stuck a seven port USB hub on the back of the monitor, and threaded the power cable along with the other wires there. Presto - I went from having two ports to 11 (one on the Mini, three on the monitor excluding the one the hub is connected to, and seven on the USB hub).

Had it been now, though, when I have a little more money than back then, I would have bought two of the Belkin grommet USB hubs and one iPod grommet, taking care of all of my devices.”

Hi Erica,

is it possible to write an app which monitors particular files like inotify for linux?

Hi Erica-
About that iPhone blog at O’Reilly; will those sections about the iphone backups that you wrote do the same thing as scanning your iphone backup files in your post in tuaw.com? I was wondering about this because the extraction utility on that post no longer exists and I’m really wanting to find some notes files that were deleted on my iphone a few days ago. Anyway thanks for all that you do and any help regarding this would be greatly appreciated! Thanks
