@nukee: True, but that's like saying, "Unless you want to leave your router completely open."

You left out one of the most important settings (probably second after setting up the wireless security) - disabling UPnP.

So does this only affect iPhones/iPads? If so, yet another reason to just go with a Blackberry. I've been tethering my Blackberry for years now and never had to pay an extra dime. Though I'm nervous that this announcement will somehow affect that.

Pointless.

@veritascitor: But not as functional as Mempad.

Being the audio snob that I am, I can't really stick with any of them - too much compression of the music files. That said, I do enjoy Pandora when I'm on a PC and have no access to my own music.
