Not a fan of Ping. It doesn't even have it's own app on iDevices. You have to open iTunes (many of us rarely do that on a whim) and find it. Then wait for it to load. Click a page, wait for it to load. Click the wrong thing? Damn, gotta hit back and wait for that to load. FB seems snappier (albeit has been out far longer and is more advanced) but just makes sense. Ping seems to be an app that tries to hard and in the end is attempting to force its way into our lives. how to convert m4v to wmv Nope. But thanks for pointing out alll the fails with this device Stupid to pay so much for a device I can't even sync with, and doesn't back up my phone's full current state. Maybe version 2: please keep us informed. And let us know if it will work with the Bumper installed. Thanks!
