Re: The FirstClass iPhone Application

I can't see that bandwidth would be an issue. FC app does nothing more than what the
iPhone Enterprise system does. Apple understood from the beginning what FC and Open Text
was trying to do and the only thing that has changed between submission and now it the
requirement for iPhone 3.0 compatibility. SOmebody knows something and they are telling.
Apple or Opent Text? IDK.

The test of the morality of a society is what it does for its children.

In theory, there is no difference between theory and practice. In practice, there is.
