Ok, so going to iPhoto on the Mac side supported getting photos from our iPhone. On the PC side, the iPhone did not/would not show up as a device in MyComputer when docked and synch’d. Unsat. Don’t know if this is a function of running Parallels, not holding my mouth correctly, or what. I’ll check it out on another PC and see if the same thing happens.
Meanwhile, you can see the 13 apps I’ve added (Not contacts and techcrunch) in the top left hand corner. Some of the apps seem to work when they are of a mind to, and other times NOT. More on this tomorrow. Back to Car Care, a nice app.
Car Care supports keeping track of both the fuel that a given auto sucks up, and also maintenance. So instead of getting out the notebook and calculator when you fill up, whip out your iPhone and enter the appropriate data. Works for me. A couple of screen shots are below. Hank

I feel like that is most probably a flaw in Parallels. The mac sees the iPhone and controls it, if Parallels isn’t programmed to deal with that, then it wont work. Thats my guess…
… or thats just what you get for using Windoze!!
Jim [Worked fine under previous iPhone software versions. Might be something between Parallels and Version 2.0 of the iPhone software. In the morning I'll check with a "normal" Windoz box and report what takes place. Hank]
Oh, and funny thing about Car Care… I was in the middle of writing a terminal program to do something similar… I have yet to figure out real programming (Object-Oriented Cocoa, C …), but I can do the procedural stuff (learned that on Robots), so it was going to be a pretty messy way of doing it, but messy is still done…. kind of….
