You need to use a search engine to find icrewmax. Once you've downloaded icrewmax, use firefox to log on to icrew. You'll know if icrewmax is working because on the righthand side of the home screen you should see a little droid dude, & I think he's the icon you click on to get the app.

I have an iPhone 4 so I don't need the app, but I think that's how you get it.

 

Search the web (NOT android market) for previous versions of firefox for android, then download it to your phone. It is either one or two versions ago that it actually worked, version 4.0b4 Then make sure you don't do the updates because the newer firefox for android won't show icrew.

 

Its actually called fennec, not Firefox, even though its really Firefox.

Fennec 4.0b4 for Android

Delta doesn't fly to Saudi Arabia, but the Internet does; some upset over Saudi visa policies

Joshua Freed, AP Airlines Writer, On Friday June 24, 2011, 5:49 pm EDT

Delta Air Lines found itself with a public-relations headache after the online world lit up with talk that the airline wouldn't fly Jews to Saudi Arabia.

That's not true. Saudi Arabia decides who gets in the country and who doesn't, not the airlines. Delta doesn't even fly there. Still, by Friday, a U.S. senator wanted an investigation, Delta was professing its tolerance, and some Twitter users called for went so far as to mention a boycott.

To explain:

Saudi Arabian Airlines is joining the SkyTeam Alliance, which includes Delta. So, it's possible that, starting next year, a traveler could buy an airline ticket that starts with a flight on Delta and ends with a flight on Saudi Arabian Airlines into Saudi Arabia.

Delta, like all airlines, asks travelers before they leave whether they have a visa to enter the country they're flying to. Yes? Welcome aboard. No? Sorry, you're not going anywhere.

Saudi Arabia, like all countries that require a visa for entry, decides who gets one. Airlines don't know why a visa was denied, only that the traveler doesn't have one.

The U.S. State Department says some Americans have reported being refused a Saudi visa because their passport reflected travel to Israel or that they were born in Israel. Also, Saudi Arabia's visa application asks the traveler's religion, causing some to suspect that putting down "Jewish" or for that matter "atheist" will hurt their chances of getting a visa. Saudi Arabia, like several countries, does not recognize Israel.

Because Saudi Arabian Airlines is becoming a member of SkyTeam, Delta was singled out in reports that ran Thursday and were passed around social media. U.S. carriers already partner with other airlines that fly to Saudi Arabia, including Air France and the German airline Lufthansa.

On Friday, Republican Sen. Mark Kirk said he wrote to the Federal Aviation Administration to ask for an investigation into whether Delta "violated U.S. law or regulation and to ensure no U.S. citizen is denied their right to fly solely on the basis of their religion."

Delta said on Friday that it does not discriminate, and pointed out that it doesn't fly to Saudi Arabia or codeshare with any airline that does. It said it does not plan to codeshare with Saudi Arabian Airlines. (A codeshare is when an airline places its flight designator, or "code," onto a flight operated by a different airline. The arrangement allows airlines to sell tickets on each other's flights.) Delta does have what's called an "interline agreement" with Saudi Arabian Airlines, which allows tickets to be sold that include multiple airlines for multiple legs of the trip.

Saudi Arabia also bars travelers from bringing in "pornographic materials or publications that violate the social norms of decency." The U.S. State Department tells travelers that Saudi officials ban "any item that is held to be contrary to the tenets of Islam, such as pork products and pornography. Imported and domestic audiovisual media and reading matter are censored."

It also said that Christmas decorations, fashion magazines, and videos considered suggestive by Saudi officials may be confiscated and the owner subject to penalties and fines.

While airlines check for passports and visas, they don't ask travelers about items that might be prohibited by the destination country.

Earlier this month Delta faced a public outcry after two soldiers complained in a video posted on YouTube that their unit returning from Afghanistan was charged $200 each to check a fourth bag. Delta ended up changing its baggage policy to allow four bags for free for troops in coach.

 

Nosmo,

It seems you're a big Android fan. I was thinking of switching from my iPhone 4 to the HTC Inspire. Will I be able to access icrew & submit WS/GS's, etc? What about travelnet? Can I list for flights? I would think the answer is yes, but I know squat about Androids.

Someone said some new ones were coming out for AT&T. Should I wait?

 

 

FTB to the rescue! I watched Glee though for a little while when it was funny, then it got weird and dumb.

I don't ever get to watch tv anymore. My connection to the outside world mostly comes from Drudge and a few other places and you guys.

Sadly, my brained my damage trying to drive a car 5 hours while helping parents navigate ATL and multiple missed flights as nonrevs.

FTB waives white surrender flag. T, you're stuck with 80's Glee video but maybe he'll throw you a bone and add some Glee cheerleader pics?

 

I'm not so much an Android fan as I am anti-Apple fascism. Apple makes great products but limits what you can do with them while charging you $$$.

Android is much more wide open, which can lead to self-inflicted problems but in general offers more choices for hardware and carrier.

iOS is definitely more mature, but as I heard from people standing in line at Verizon stores returning their iPhones -- iPhone isn't 4G/LTE and I had to pay more for my apps.

If you are all squared away using iPhone for all your work stuff, then there is nothing wrong with staying on that platform as long as you don't expect 4G speeds out of the next version of the iPhone rumored to be released in Sept/Oct.

If you don't mind tinkering with things to customize your phone the way you like it, rather than just accept what Steve Jobs says is your optimum look and feel, then by all means try Android.

This debate is a lot like the Boeing vs Airbus debate, everyone likes different things for different reasons and everyone hates those same things for different reasons.

Android answers: iCrew - yes with Fennec/Firefox 4.0b4, list for flight - yes, put in for WS - yes, put in for GS - havent tried it but same screen as WS.
Firefox has its quirks in iCrew. Travelnet can be accessed with the DolphinHD Browser (free) as well as Firefox, but some of the pulldown menus are touchy.

 

Things that make you go Hmmmmmmmmm.
