Best iPhone/iPod Apps

Seriously?

I don't work for your company. I could go for that deal.

Why do some work and some not?

When you're in China on your next visit, hook yourself up.

Not sure why some worked and some didn't. I did get a lot of regional error messages. Also, you sometimes get poor quality duplication when buying in the black market. So unless the vendor has an X-Box handy, you can't test them before purchase. I used to do that for DVD's but stopped because it got embarrassing having them prove that all my porn would play before I would actually purchase it.

Copying video games is actually incredibly easy. You just need to know how to install a mod chip into your device. This is also surprisingly easy.

Yes, I know. But that's not what Art was asking about. Nor do I see Art as the type to mod his kids' xbox just to make back up copies of WWE 2010.

Does anyone connect to a VPN with their iPad? I live on a VPN on my laptops and phone, but have not been able to connect using either the iPad's stock client or Cisco's client using all the correct settings.

Why do you use a VPN on your phone? Also, what kind of phone do you have (OS)?

I connect nearly daily using my iPad via VPN to read company email, access company internal web, etc. As of iOS 4.x the iPad/iPhone supports Cisco AnyConnect. You may have to bulid a provisioning profile to install. Your IT department may have already done this for you. You can find more information at:

Why do you need VPN to check company email? Curious.

Why do you need VPN to check company email? Curious.

Folks pass around company secrets via email. Therefore, according to the company security policy, which is enforced by the configuration profile, the only way you can access the company internal email server is via a VPN connection. The way apple has done the configuration profiles is pretty nice actually adds a lot of security for enterprise solution. In order for me to access the company's internal network, for example, I have to set a secure passcode (PIN) on my iPad. If I don't have a PIN then I don't get to connect to the VPN. There are other things that can be enforced by the company's security provisioning profile. For example, encrypted backups, limits on installing/running certain apps, disabling things like javascript in mobile safari, etc. The iPhone/iPad can be locked down very well while connected to the company's internal network.

It could? I thought this falls under fair use:

The movie industry got around this with the Digital Millennium Copyright Act, so while making a personal, backup copy is legal, stripping the copyright protection is illegal. It's one of the many reasons I don't like Orrin Hatch.

Also, for those not wanting to fork over the money for dvdfab, I use DVDShrink to rip the movie, then Videora to convert it for my ipod touch.

Why do you need VPN to check company email? Curious.

Lots of companies I know do this where you deal with sensitive or classified information. I have to do the same thing as Ted. On top of a PIN I have a password, unique user name and use an RSA token to establish a VPN to check my email.

Over your phone?

[Surfah]

Over your phone?

Yes. I have a soft token RSA app on my blackberry specifically for this reason.

[falafel]

Yes. I have a soft token RSA app on my blackberry specifically for this reason.

I mean do you have to do all that every time you want to view email on your phone? We have a VPN for logging onto the firm extranet that requires a username, password, PIN and RSA tiken, but I don't need any of that when I check mail on my BB.

For iphone users, I understand the firm requires them to have a password lock on for when the phone screen goes off.

For one of my email accounts, yes. It's a PITA. For my unclass account it's not required.

Run keeper pro is free through January. Go get this app that many think is the best iOS GPS exercise app.

In terms of VPN, my hospital supports anyconnect, but they think the iPad is an insecure platform, so they won't install the mobility add-on.

So, I use other means. I use logmein for my work computer and I use wyse pocketcloud and the pocket companion to access my home computers.
