Now that I have cut a few projects on my iPhone with FCP in emulation mode, does anyone have any opinions regarding using the screen for accurate color correction and why does the text from the text tool look funky?

For $499 it must have a broadcast quality HD monitor, right?
BTW, rumor has it that AJA will be coming out with a sub-miniature Kona card and breakout box for the iPhone soon. But, Apple will most likely cripple the phone so it can't capture ProRes 422.

Well I'm up to 6 iPhones, 3 Mac Minis, 2 Apple IIe's and a ball of string with no problems. I started compressing my 2k Feature about an hour ago and its 1/4th done, and cover slow still works like a champ on the iPhone.

Forget that, check out Apple's new internal xraid mini with the wireless xsan option - gives you uncompressed HD with WiFi SAN that allows you and everyone at Starbucks to collaborate seamlessly on those big History Channel projects.

HELP!!
I was cutting away and going at a quick pace when suddenly my iPhone RANG! An incoming call! Gah...ahh...so I answered it and it was my wife, asking me to pick up milk on the way home. But when I hung up and went back to FCP...it was gone! Unexpectedly quit. And now my file is corrupt.
I found the autosave vault and was able to open it and only lost about 30 minutes work. But hey...Is there any way I can disable the phone features of this? I really don't want to be interrupted by a call.

Ah... I knew there was a reason Apple hasn't updated the XRAID in years, seemingly ignoring this strange phenomenon known as "4 Gigabit fibre." Now I know what their engineers have been putting together for the next gen. of their RAID...

Sorry dude, Peter Wiggins and I were cutting on the iPhone at NAB. It worked like a charm, don't know why the text looks so bad on your end. Did you try Boris 3D? The text is usually cleaner.

And when I finally got through to tech support, I had multiple windows open on the screen but I couldn't read them and listen to support at the same time since I didn't know how to turn on the Dolby 5.1 speakerphone option. Damn PDF help menus anyhow. Give me a paper manual anytime...

To heck with the manuals, I've just signed up for Apple's Expert iphone training program. It's a 10 month intensive coarse for only $8,999.99! I'll come away an expert with no need for the manual. However I'll still need to lay out another $499.00 for the coarse text books. The iphone should be available in Canada by the time I graduate too!

If I buy the academic version will I still be able to upgrade to the iphone2? It should be out shortly after and mac rumours reported it will have a weed eater too! (for attacking blackberries)
