Give this a try: http://skyhookwireless.com/howitworks/submit_ap.php

To get the mac address of a router that you can't log in to, install stumbler on your iphone, the mac address for each network you can see is listed beneath the name (when there's only 1 digit put a 0 before it).

Obviously if it's your own router you can log in and just read it off the status screen but watch out because there will be more than one address, you want the WLAN one for this.

Just added my local ones so I'll see what happens :)
Ta, done. :D

Similar question, I'd like to convert some DIVXs to my iPhone now. Any recommendable Mac software for this?

It's a good question. I'd like a one click PC solution too. Seeing as I've currently off loaded all my DIVX capable hand-held devices for now.

Of course, sometimes Google is your friend.

Quite a few things suggest this as a good PC option:

I use Visual Hub on my Mac as it does Apple TV 5.1 and iPhone from just about any file format including TS Folders to almost any size :)

I see the new Toast does rather a lot of formats too - got it (cough, cough) over the weekend but havent really played with it yet.
Now with a new Mac Mini Pro so dont judge me !

Had a little play with this.

It's slow on my P4 3.0 HT machine. But it's using ffmpeg which I suspect lots of tools use, so will be no slower than them at a guess.

The interface is pretty horrid. But it's all there, and once you can see the folder auto checking it could be pretty useful.

And don't whack the processor priority to high as it basically cripples the machine (may be fine on a multicore machine?).

I think it's something I'd have to setup to run whilst I am asleep if I intend to use it much.

I converted my xvid Doctor Who trailer to mp4 with it. It did a good job but the first 4-5 seconds is messed up. All grey and blocky.

Anyone know what the 'Other' stuff is when you view the capacity of your device in iTunes? Mine's got ~130MB of 'Other', apparently...

Yeah I think so - apps and system "stuff".

My Touch spent part of its first day sat on my desk next to the laptop. It has a small scratch on the screen at the front and quite a few scratches on the back. It's also a fingerprint magnet to the rather extreme point that you have to clean it before you can watch a video.

I do love it to bits though. Once again Apple raise the bar totally in the portable UI stakes. Before the rest of the world had managed to catch up with their previous gen.

My two main wishes for the 2g model would be a higher screen rez (At least 800x480) and BTDUN support. We'll probably get the former eventually but I'm doubtful about the latter.

My real hope is that they bring out a 5" tablet with a similar OS and an 800x480 screen.
