No tethering support for Canon 5D2, or for that matter, any Canon cameras newer than the 350D. Even the inelegant workaround, the Hot Folder Import Script doesn’t work.

Hands on the iPhone 3G
This article first appeared in the Nanyang Chronicle, Vol 15 No 3. For a smartphone, the iPhone is probably quite dumb by today’s standards.

Ever click on a mailto: link, only to scream in frustration as Apple Mail opens yet again? Then check out Webmailer 1.0. I use Mail.app with Gmail on IMAP. Still, I suppose this is tremendously useful for those who don’t.

SingTel Optus, one of the three Australian telcos that will be offering the iPhone come July 11th, has revealed its pricing for post-paid and pre-paid plans.
