On itunes it says i have 208.1MB of "Other" I havent uploaded any calendars, notes, or anything. I only have contacts in there, and i doubt contacts can be 208.1MB.
Got a tip for us?

It's the operating system, isn't it?

OH lol scratch that. I thought you were asking if the little print above it was the operating system.
I don't think it's the operating system becaseu it changes in size. I t may be system files that get created to track settings and things.
I also think part of it may be album art. Not sure really though.

No WAP on the iPhone. FULL web browser. Remember? That's one reason we have iPhones?
Not only the OS, but files that the OS and the built-in apps save (Google Maps and Safari cache for instance).
I can see it now on the Andriod forums...

Response 3: Do they detial your web searchs and web sites you go2?
Ohhh wait thats a thread from MacRumors
No, the reason I didn't get that message is because the color you used for the font prevents the mobile page (mobile.macrumors.com) from displaying correctly on the iPhone. It just renders the page right up to your post and displays an error message, and it's highly annoying.That may be the reason he isn't getting that message
That's what I figure as well. Those attachments and embedded photos gotta be stored somewhere. It may be some data files written by applications as well.
