Thank you for this explanation. I shall have to come up with my own system for
remembering which number is which.

It's a limitation of Exchange which is how you're most likely synching
google contacts now. It's a well known limitation and you can't use
custom labels. I went through and created a boatload of custom labels
in Goigle contacts only to find the phone numbers disappeared at next
sync. Had to go back and put them as work and pager numbers again.

iPhone / iPad service now free, doesn't require MobileMe via Engadget
by Nilay Patel on 11/22/10

We'd been sort of hoping Apple would just make MobileMe a completely
free service, but it looks like we're taking baby steps instead: Find
My iPhone / iPad is now free for iPhone 4, the iPad, and the fourth-gen
iPod touch running iOS 4.2.1. As with the paid feature, you'll be able
to locate your device on a map, lock it, display a message, play a
sound, or remotely wipe your data from any browser or the updated iOS
app, which should presumably go live sometime today along with iOS
4.2.1 itself. Like we said, it's a baby step, but hey -- we never say
no to free.

I just checked the App store & it says Mobile Me is required to use the app. Will there be a different app uploaded to the store later this week?

The official versions aren't out yet, I checked before I left, you need 4.2.1 (and iTunes 10.1 to install 4.2.1). Should be out by 5p EST.

No; when available (later today?) you will be able to login to MobileMe with your regular MobileMe login, if you have one, or with your Apple ID (the same one iTunes uses).

And the Apple ID login will only let you do the Find My iWhatsis functions of MobileMe.

This request for help is for a friend. She has tried all the usual tricks and her iPhone 3G will not turn on. Does anyone have any other suggestions?
Thanks,
Debbie

If plugging into an outlet and a computer do not work, time to take it to apple store.

Have her connect it to her computer, after connecting it press both power and home button at the same time, wait 15 seconds and release only the power button "top one" wait another 20 seconds and her phone should go into recovery mode, flash white screen and the itunes will ask if she wants to sync phone. Hit yes and recover, this should work if not her phone is dead, sorry.
