Facebook - you can use MyPad and a lot of other 3rd party apps.
Twitter - uberSocial can take care of that.

Subject: [apple-iphone] Simple Way to Switch Users on Facebook

As far as Facebook is concerned one way to have two users is to have the Facebook ap downloaded where one enters as user 1, and then open Facebook on safari and sign in as user 2. Actually using safari one can have a large number of users after signing in and bookmarking.

By "how much data I have used", you mean received + sent, right?

If so, AT&T must explain. Although there may be different ways they measure such. I use an app called DataMan to monitor my usage and even it has a discrepancy with what's in Settings >> Cellular Usage. Sometimes higher, sometimes lower.

Subject: [apple-iphone] Data usage discrepancy

My cellphone-bill cycle starts on the third of the month. Each month, on the third of the month, I reset my iPhone cellular-usage log to zero, using the "reset statistics" button under "Settings/General/Usage/Cellular Usage."
By the end of the month, the ATT figure for how much data I have used is always significantly more than the iPhone itself tells me, sometimes as much as 200 megabytes more. How is this possible?

I have been using both DataMan and MobiShield to monitor usage, even though I'm grandfathered into unlimited and shouldn't have to worry about it. Both of them show me with a different number than ATT shows right now, although I think MobiShield (about 10mb higher than ATT) may be closer to right than DataMan (about 65mb lower) due to the lag time on ATT's report.

Where are you getting the data usage from, AT&T's web page usage or the bill? The bill is after all bits & bytes have been metered and is their "final answer". The usage from the web page is not current, there is a lag in the number there.

I would also question the 75 MB difference between MobiShield & DataMan.

I just went and looked at MobiShield, and I know I am a little paranoid, but I don't think I would use MobiShield, because:

It only has 17 reviews for all versions and has been out for more than 3 months. In comparison, the current version of DataMan has been out for 7 months and the current version has 304 reviews.

There are nine 5-star reviews. Most of the 4 and 5 star reviewers have funny names and one line reviews, and half the reviews say the app crashes.

5 of this developers 7 apps are less than 4 months old and the 2 old ones don't have enough reviews to give a rating. Some have only Chinese versions.

If you go to the developers web site, it suggests that the iPhone has to be jailbroken to work.

The security scan is apparently one of the features that makes the app crash. Besides monitoring your 3G & WiFi usage, it checks your current connection IP address, MAC address (machine access code), OS, Kernel version, user name, and UUID. It will back up your data, but to where?

Why does it need to identify your exact phone for you?

Why does it need to know where you are connected?

Why does it need to tell you your own name? <<<<<<<<<<<<< ?!?!?!

And does it phone all this home?

I'm surprised this made it past Apple. The developer sure sounds like one of the app farms to me.

I'm sorry, but this sounds like spyware.

You can just drag the ringtones (any or all of them to your iPhone (on the left side in iTunes) and they will be transferred.

Just double click on the ringtone and it would get added to the ringtones
in iTunes provided the file extension is m4r.

Re: DVD converter

Click on Source, and then select the DVD.

That should stop you having to worry about the VOB files.

Re: Simple Way to Switch App Users??

It appears Hoot Suite or Tweetdeck will probably do what you are looking for. I only have one account of each (Twitter and FB), but I know people who use both for business and personal stuff. I have used both programs. They are among about 6-8 Twitter clients I use at various times. (All have good points but they also have the one thing missing that would make it perfect. And the one thing seems to be different for each.)

Hoot Suite can also be used on your computer via browser. Tweetdeck has a standalone program for the computer.

Use tweetcaster for tweeter and friendcaster for Facebook. They both
support multiple accounts.
