Hi Terry
I use meta x also , (Great app)
I usually wind up replacing the movie artwork that meta x provides
with artwork from http://www.getvideoartwork.com
Check it out High resolution movie posters.
Just copy and paste from the website into meta x before you write the file to data.
I also keep a copy of the posters in iphoto and use the apple tv slide show
I use it to display the movie posters on a plasma tv that I have mounted on the wall
vertically near the entry to my home theater. I have it set to change movie posters every
10 seconds. Much nicer that a static movie poster and everyone thinks that it is really cool
I have some of the posters on my me.com gallery that I access via my apple tv
if you want to grab some from there

Ana,
The best thing to do is turn off the Data Roaming on the iPhone and set your email connection to Manual! This will prevent being charged for data while you travel. If you actually want to use data on your phone when you travel, then you will be at the mercy of the carriers and their ridiculously high roaming charges.
Stick to Wi-Fi when you go international! This is covered in my iPhone Book 2nd edition

Hi Terry,
sorry if this is a bit off topic…
I searched your blog but still haven’t found a solution for this : I travel 2 or 3 times /year overseas with my daughter, to see our family in Brazil. I usually come back ( to the US) earlier, and she comes back home about a month later. We both have iPhones, and last time I did this trip, my family plan was about U$ 800 for the period we travelled. I forgot about international data roaming, so every time an email came, I paid….argh
Do you have any suggestions for this situation? I know I can subscribe for ATT international roaming, but they charge U$ 2.29/minute talk time. I have Skype but I am not sure if it would help. Thanks for any help!!!
Have a great day,
Ana
