I'll up vote this, but I'm looking for a non-jailbreak answer, so not going to mark as accepted...

Cosigned. I added a contact today to my iPhone, he hasn't synced over yet to my iPad or Mac.

Doesn't seem to work for plain XML either.

comment How do I “copy image address” in iOS?
Very creative, love it! (and updated which is the accepted answer). I wonder if this method worked in iOS 4.x? (when I asked the Q and when rsanchezsaez answered it).

comment Is there a way to stream what is on my Mac's screen to my TV?
I was looking to avoid this, but luckily I live in a pretty small studio apartment, so it won't be that horrible. :)

comment Is there a sexier alternative to the status bar in Safari?
It actually is in the gallery, I just didn't notice at the time. False alarm! This is a great extension.

Holy crap that's awesome! A ton of really cool features too. Only question - why isn't it in the Safari Extensions gallery on Apple's site?

comment Why won't Netflix play videos on my iPad?
There was news back in December that some AppleTV owners were having issues getting content from the iTunes store. Apparently, these were power users that switched OpenDNS or Google DNS, and that wasn't playing well with the way that Akamai (who does iTMS caching) handles downloads. I was having problems with Netflix on the ATV, so tried switching my DNS back to those of my ISPs. And it fixed the issue. So it may work for the iPad app as well.

comment Alternatives to MetaX?
Right, I'm already using Handbrake to rip. But that has nothing to do with automatically fetching metadata. I'll edit the question to clarify.

comment What's a good iOS app for quickly posting screenshots on the web?
As I said, I don't want to junk up my flickr, Instagram, etc. That goes for Twitter/Twitpic/whatever as well.

comment How can I extract the audio from a video file?
Looks like I need Quicktime Pro for this, as File -> Export is grayed out and there is a PRO label next to it.

comment What iPhone apps can't you live without?
It's a bit silly to list prices here as they change pretty regularly. If somebody reads the description in the answer and is compelled to buy it, they can click through to the app store to see what the current price is.

comment How do I “copy image address” in iOS?
Nope. Try it with my avatar in this post, it opens my profile b/c the image is inside of a link.

comment Can I use iPhone earbuds as a microphone on my MacBook?
I don't want to use the mic and headphones at the same time, just the mic.
