JB the phone Welsho and then get Dtunes - you can just use iPhone Explorer on your PC or Mac and copy any movies or MP3s into the relevant folder and DTunes will play them. I also use Handbrake to convert AVIs etc into MP4 for use on the phone. Again can get it for Mac and PC.

Also when you JB it you can put SBsettings on and it gives you very quick access to 3G/Wifi/running processes (like task manager on PC) and memory recovery which is great if the phone is running slow. I swith off 3G and Wifi when cycling and using the GPS and that saves a lot of battery power.

Gosh, I wish my Android phone could do that.... oh wait a minute...

Android is a great os. It's just a shame that google are so poor at keeping it in order. It's barely a year old and you can buy phones with 4 different versions of the os. They should have learned from the winmo debacle.

Welsho - you are absolutely bang on about iTunes (the PC/Mac app, not the store). For a product to be so mature yet still be so useless is quite shocking. If there's one thing Apple are then it's perfectionists so how this has slipped through the net baffles me.

Maybe iPhone 4.0 and the next version of iTunes will resolve it.

Personally - I have all my mail and contacts and calendars "in the cloud" anyway so didn't need to go through the trouble with that, so I purely use iTunes for managing music/video/apps for the phone. I was quite fortunate to have a nicely organised music library (outside of iTunes) before I got my iPhone and all I've needed to do since then was remember to add new albums in to iTunes.

New app time - Football Manager 2010 out. I was an old school player of Champ manager before the great CM/FM split ocurred. Very tempted to get this, but it is £6.99.

You want to try it on mine before you buy?

[st3ph3n]

I might wait for the inevitable sale!

Have you tried it?

[colin_ross]

No, but I do have it.

"Important

Unfortunately you are unable to jailbreak the 3.1.3 firmware on the iPhone 3GS unless you use PwnageTool for Mac to upgrade to it."

Oh well...

A man of your calibre must be able to get to a mac surely?

I've got an external drive with osx installed on it that my dell mini9 boots. It's apple but for cheap

Neil - if there's one thing the iPhone doesn't do then that's phone calls.

[micra_wrc]

is there an easy way of transferring the photos I've taken on the iPhone to my PC?

couldn't find anything obvious in iTunes and I've resorted to emailing them to myself...

[colin_ross]

Windows should give you a pop up when you plug the phone in, camera wizard or something like that. That will take care of it.

[st3ph3n]

If you don't get the popup then it appears in your my computer and should work fine.

So anyone getting iPhone 4 next month?

[pmacFTO]

My 18month contract is up and I am not sure what 02's upgrade price will be on the Iphone 4 but I do fancy one as I am still 3G and want faster, better, more!

[micra_wrc]

ah right, I was looking to "sync" my photo camera roll to transfer pictures.

cheers
