    I would only use this for searching through songs. I found the click wheel way easier to go back 10 seconds than I do the iPhone's tiny slider button method.

    @Ryan_Long:
    I agree but I have found that the adjustable scrubbing speed function of dragging you finger down before you go to the side really helps out.

    @Mediocre: ok, here's my question. What the hell is that? I saw it being touted as a great new function in 3.0, but NOBODY could tell me what it meant. Can you?

    @Ryan_Long: Scrubbing is a fancy-shmancy way of saying "fast-forward" or "rewind" with playback of that section of an audio or video track. I recently stumbled upon the term when I became more interested in video editing and audio recording work.

    With OS 3.0 you can adjust how slow or fast the scrubbing speed is by first tapping on and holding the playhead (which would be the silver dot on the song's or video's timeline), then depending on how far down the screen you drag your finger, it will slow down your scrubbing speed as you drag the playhead left or right. The further down the screen your finger is, the slower the scrubbing speed.

    @Ryan_Long: When you use the scrubber, slide your finger up or down to adjust the scrubbing speed. Then, without picking up your finger, scrub left or right.

    @Ryan_Long: Yeah... What ThePaul said. Just touch the ball that tells you where in the audio you are, drag your finger down (it'll tell you your speed) and then drag to the left or right.

    Thanks Paul

    @Ryan_Long: It means that, when scrubbing the position knob, moving left and right skips backwards/forwards as usual, but moving up and down changes the rate at which this happens.

    In other words, you get an adjustable-speed scrubber. With your finger near the top, it's 1:1, but moving your finger downwards reveals "1:2", "1:4" and finally "fine" adjustment speeds.

    For example, 1:4 means that by moving your finger right 40 pixels, the scrubber moves only 10 pixels.

    It must have been cold there in my shadow,

    You were content to let me shine, that's your way.

    @Ryan_Long: Great. Now it's stuck in my head. That was my mom's favorite song when I was growing up, and I know every. Single. Word.

    Maybe I can scrub past all of the words in the song and just listen to the instrumental portions.

    Considering how much I hated the scrollwheel, no thank you. I much prefer the touch interface.

    If it wanted to go classic, it should have looked like a jukebox and made me pay a quarter for each song I wanted to play.

    Yeah, that's what I was thinking. I really hope that they can get sued for this shit, as it's ridiculous that they'd treat their customers like this.

    MORE BARS IN MORE PLACES!!


    i dont care if T-Mobile has very few 3g phones or that the iPhone isn't equipped to work on T-Mobile's 3g network... i'm much happier with them than i ever was with at&t.

    Is there anything in the CSA that would let folks out of a contract because of this I wonder?

    @strider_mt2k: I would think so. This seems to constitute a material change in the service, which I would think would allow anyone to get out of their contract if they want to. Even folks with 3G phones, since they don't always operate on the 3G network. Of course, it's kinda up to AT&T to decide that, but I'm sure that with enough of an outcry (and getting the appropriate AG's involved) they'd have to let people out.
