TUAW readers bought a few weeks ago could not
correctly publish guarantees. This was transmitted over the place
to control car warranty Apple and quite sure the
limited warranty of my new iPhone is due on 22 exhale
in July. I gave Apple a call to 1-800-694-7466. I was given
Line standard Apple: do not offer a guarantee of full years
on refurbs. Your guarantee ends a year since the
iPhone originally was sold and activated state. Then it
connected to AT & T, which has been hung up on me. So I
called back. The sticker on the box of AT & T Says
clearly: "Refurbished the iPhones are warranted full 1
year. You must keep the receipt for complaints with the guarantee.
"Apple Second time around, I got the agent more fabulous.
It was put in touch with the coordinator of agreement and in some
minute my guarantee was extended to 03/2009, no fuss,
no muss. I'm giving you the kick that I did not controlled

so if discover, lets you know in the comments. Thank you! In

explaining that I was updating my 4GB to my new 8GB. I
offered to send a picture on the box of dell'autoadesivo

and that she did not need that either a receipt. I also

Doug Toombs from Howard Forums tipped us off that those refurb AT & T iPhones many TUAW readers bought a few weeks ago might not have properly issued warranties. He sent me over to Apple's warranty self-checking site and sure enough my new iPhone's limited warranty is due to expire on July 22nd.
I gave Apple a call at 1-800-694-7466. I was given the standard Apple line: they do not offer a full year warranty on refurbs. Your warranty ends a year from when the iPhone was originally sold and activated. She then connected me to AT & T, which promptly hung up on me.
So I called back. The sticker on the AT & T box clearly says: "Refurbished iPhones have a full 1 year warranty. You must retain receipt for warranty claims through Apple. "
Second time around, I got the most fabulous agent. She contacted the agreement administrator and within a few minutes my warranty was extended to 03/2009, no fuss, no muss. Though I'm kicking myself that I did not check into whether I could extend the warranty after that year through AppleCare-so if you find out, do let us know in the comments. Thanks!
Anyway, to summarize: I did need to confirm a valid AT & T account, explaining that I was upgrading from my 4GB to my new 8GB. I offered to send a picture of the sticker on the AT & T box but the agent said this had to be a known problem and that she did not need either that or the receipt. I also took advantage of the Apple you-call-back service. Instead of waiting on line, they automagically take your number and call it back when you're ready to hit the head of the queue. Very convenient.

Will the next firmware release iPhone support client-side database storage? That's what Jorge TUAW reader believes. Way back in October, we saw the standard HTML 5 promising client-side persistence for Webkit-based browsers. Jorge apparently ran a client-side SQL check on the new Simulator-based Safari and found that it ran properly. Of course, simulator tests do not mean actual implementation 1.2/2.0 and we have no way of verifying whether this functionality extends to the actual iPhone firmware.

Mac Mini users have been waiting a long time for a true dual-monitor solution. Sure there are a bunch of work-arounds out there that let you run more than one screen at a time but a real multi-screen solution has not yet been available as far as I know. (Honestly, I have been looking all that hard-so if there's one I missed let me know in the comments.)
Display Link has finally decided to let the mini come to the multi-display party. Nick TUAW reader tipped us off to these new beta drivers for Mac OS X.
The DisplayLink hardware supports up to 4 USB-based monitors. You're limited to Intel Macs but minis and MacBook Airs are supported. The beta does not support OpenGL acceleration so Keynote iPhone and slide shows will not properly function.
From what I could tell from the site, display Link seems to be sold with third party branding. The Kensington USB docking station (model 33415) for $ 140 is apparently the product in question.
