One of the main drawbacks to Music Doc is that you don't get all of the
channels that you get with the SiriusXM app. For example, MD doesn't hav
MLB, NFL, NHL, and many other live sports events and channels. MD also has
not been updated in quite some time. In my opinion, you're better off
getting used to the SiriusXM app. Even before the update, there were ways
to use it with no problems.

Not very well unless an update newer than 2.02 is out. I'd recommend
checking out MusicDock. It doesn't have all the bells and whistles of
the serious xm app, but you can still get the channels. Here's a
podcast on it if you're so inclined to listen to podcasts.

Hi Keith,
You wrote (in the subject line):
Esther, have you used the World Factbook? Is it accessible?
Yes, the World Factbook by jDictionary Mobile is accessible. It's
designed for the iPhone, though, so if the original poster wanted to use
it on his iPad he would have to use the button for "use fullscreen mode".
There's an extensive post that I wrote back in September or October 2009
on using this app. You probably don't need it, but at the time we were
all new to the iPhone or iPod Touch and there weren't facilities other
than the user guide for learning about apps and how to navigate their
interfaces. Like their dictionary app, the search box filters matches to
entries as you type in letters for a country. so you don't have to flick
through all the entries alphabetically. The only entries that you won't
get full information on are the "Flag", "Map", and "Google Maps" options,
because they use images. Phil wrote back to say that the "Flag" menu
option gives a text description of the flag (which is true), so you can
access that information if you flick to the text field. (It's actually
displaying in landscape mode, but I think you can get the information if
you hold your device in the normal portrait orientation and flick left a
few times. To get out of the flag entry you have to navigate to the
"Down"
button and double tap twice.) The "Map" entry won't give you information,
but you can easily get out of it by flicking to the "back" button and
double tapping. "Google Maps" takes you out of the app to the "Maps"
entry, so you'd have to use the App Switcher to get back if you used
that.
Well, it might be amusing to try to plan a route to a different country
and hear that it will take 22 days to get there, but you're probably not
going to use this feature.
If you want a more detailed description of the layout of this app and the
various ways to navigate the screen, go to the Google Groups page for
this
list and type in search terms like "World Factbook Esther navigate" (and
make sure that "Factbook" is not corrected to "Facebook"). That should
bring up the thread and the post. For recent posts I could use the Mail
Archive search and give you a direct link, but for the earlier three
years
the only posts I can find easily that way are the ones that I cc'd to the
macvisionaries list, and I only did that for a few posts.
The jDictionary Mobile folks developed both these apps for the Symbian
phones before they ported them as iPhone apps. Here's the URL for the
World Factbook at the App Store:
• The World Factbook 2012 ($0.99) by jDictionary Mobile

HTH. Cheers,
Esther
