Leave it to the army of third-party developers, hackers, krackers and programme
rs to plug the holes and putty-up the seams and cracks in Apple's line of products. Somehow, somewhere, sometime soon, someone's going to pat
ch up the good ship Apple, in spite of Steve.
Take the iPhone for example. From a long list, my personal top
three missing features are: forwarding SMS, sending contact info and the vener
able ability to cut-and-paste text within or among apps.
At least the first two have been taken care of, and nicely too. There have been
a few apps that already do these things, if a bit clunkily, one of them being
the slow SMSD that can delete specific messages and forward SM
S, but often chokes when dealing with a particularly large cache of texts.
My friend Myles turned me onto something called WeTool, from <
strong>WeiPhone, the "bigest" iPhone forum in China. WeTool does what
SMSD does, and does the same thing for call logs as well (as in delete specific
items in the call log, something another basic app called CallD does). WeTool also forwards contact info. WeTool puts all these functions in
a nice pretty package, and the app works as advertised - it can even forward S
MS and contact info to multiple recipients.
To get it just add http://app.weiphone.com/installer to your S
ource list in Installer, and update. (You know how to
do this, right?)
It's just a bit confusing sometimes because several versions seem to be floatin
g around (there even seems to be one made for the US - WeToolUS - but I'll be hogtied if I can't see much difference) and when you update, th
ey all show up. Just get the one with the highest version number and you should
be ok. As usual, caveat user; it's still a 3rd party freebie and come
s with no guarantees.
A side note: as some of these things from China often do, the English sometimes
gets a bit mangled in the translation, and the About screen o
n WeTool, for one, is a bit of a hoot.
Hey, it's free; shut up.
The article was informative. I too wants to experience the iphone and can't wa
it for the Phil release. Procurring in the US, a relative there has to be tied
to 2 yrs internet plan with AT&T as it is budled with the iphone. Any oth
er way to avoid it?

As a computer-USER enthusiast, I understand your frustration with the present l
ack of such common, but useful, features.
But have hope and be patient. All of these features (and others) can and will
eventually be added by "software".
Apple is busy promoting web-based applications, and introducing a SDK. They ar
e also introducing new products and modifying operating systems and Apple soft
ware at at furious pace. When the newer OSX operating system modifications for
mobile use (including an all-digital tablet in January?) start coming out in 2
008...there will be an explosion of capabilities and Apple software/feature com
patibilites across the Apple product line. Steve has a plan.

@hardmanb - why the hell should I have to download 3rd party apps to do what sh
ould be a basic function?
If thats steves plan then I have no patience or hope for apple, yet another one
of their products being unnecessarily difficult to use...
