I found a pair of hooks off Amazon.com which attach to the Apple ear buds and do help them stay in place. I forget what keyword I searched for, but there were several options under $10. Telephone: (614)633-0376 Skype: sseric57 On Jun 9, 2012, at 7:43 AM, Anthony Vece ajv...@gmail.com wrote:

Go to that favorite. In the top right corner of the screen is the edit button. Double tap that. Now use four fingers horizontally across the screen and tap them together. You should hear delete. Double tap that and confirm. It is very difficult to find this button other than the four-finger

If Siri works, he could do it. My experience since Siri came out is that when I need it most it works least. It seems fine when I am at home and on Wi-Fi, but when I am away and in a noisy environment or cannot type efficiently, then it does not work. I understand it is still Beta, and that
