In fact the iPhone starts to loose signal just over 10km's away from land....

They were quick - I hadn't even formally added it with an icon yet but if someone would like to test it (given that we are using a later vb version of it) that would be good.

Cheers

The iTouch is just as good to use....With wireless activated, it's so much more than a toy.

The tapatalk download link came up when I just viewed AFF this morning, I didn't download it as I have no problem viewing AFF as it is, but thanks Russell for getting things moving for others

It is in their database as Fordforums.com.au - I probably should have called it AFF for simplicity!

Have to confess I hadnt look at Tapatalk, if nothing else the app is a great database of auto forums

But like above, AFF or any variation on it still isnt in the list :(

Not going to pay for an app to view the forums.

I can do that fine through safari on the iphone itself.

The tapatalk popup thing only came up once at least.
