just don't sync it. u can set to "Manually Manage" in iTunes.

H264 or MPEG4 stream, with extension of MP4 or M4V.

Added on May 7, 2008, 5:08 pm...and that's not only restricted to iPhone.
btw most of iPhone users here are discussing on making the most out of their iPhones in this forum. not only telling bout how cool this device is, but also discussing on ways to maximise it's potential.

very lot of potential, either the software or the hardware.

OSX Mobile in the iPhone is a relatively new platform (compared with Symbian, WinMo, etc etc) and yet it brings great performance on its function. rarely hang also. and yet it's still young as a mobile platform!

the upcoming AppStore that will be launched by Apple promising a library of great native apps and console-quality games. the existing unofficial apps made with unofficial toolchains available today are already great, i can't really imagine what's more to come.

the processor of the iPhone is 667MHz ARM11 processor, one of the most powerful ARM processor for mobile phones. even the HTC ones only got around 400MHZ. ok, the processor itself is clocked at lower speed (around 41x Mhz) as Apple is still perfecting ways to conserve energy, but i'm optimistic that it will be increased after updates (just like when 1.1.2 released). oh, and for 41x Mhz, it already performs greatly. no lagging.

so there's alot of potential yet to be unlocked. and maybe there's lot more that i haven't know yet. i'm not a salesman.

or google is your best friend.

ooo...FYI, the processor spec is never revealed by Apple itself, hence it's not necessarily known by its salesman.
i'm just being kind here to tell u a lot of potential on the iPhone in very near future (as per what u asked before in this forum), yet u said like that after i'm being so informative.

is this the attitude of people nowadays, asking people and then doing like this in return?
c'mon la, why do some bashing yet being so defensive like that.

oh, btw i typed that myself (based on lots of articles), not just do some copy and paste. respect some other people efforts, not just bashing others just to make yourself looks right. no need to look right nor wrong here, here is a place for discussion.

bout the SMS, i think better don't keep lots of junks there. sure will lag. my iPhone don't give me prob on the SMS, maybe something's wrong with your iPhone? btw the sms interface is really innovative though yet still got lots of potential (oh talking back bout potential, maybe i don't have to).

oh, i'm not an iPhone seller. so looks like i don't have to explain more rite?

ok la, next time, google is your friend. have fun.

(i'm really heartbroken. how people can be that rude nowadays?)

don't talk crap here. if people only praise their iPhone here, they don't have to let u know the potentials of the iPhone.

so far i've seen the "disadvantages" that u pushed until now in this forum is the SMS. oh, "disadvantage(s)"?
ok so to satisfy u and everyone, the SMS interface is intuitive, yet it tends to lag if have superduper amount of messages. and can't individually delete yet without tweaks. btw more and more functions are coming to the iPhone, just like when Apple add the group SMS feature in new firmware. ok i know u will not satisfied with something from the future, or maybe u r an SMS guy so u need that feature to be perfect badly (mmm...btw the balloon interface of threaded SMS in the iPhone is more than perfect to me), so maybe iPhone is not that suitable for u rite.

before this u asked bout potential, so people tell u it's potentials. oh if the future is too long for u, better check the video of iPhone software roadmap video at apple.com. it's a promised roadmap that already deployed as beta firmware versions for enterprise and developers. an it wil be available on the public this june. ok i realised that one month is that too long for you, so guess that no need to explain to u further that already knows "EVERYTHING" after using your "friend's" "iPhone". (oh "my friend's", "my wife's", or even no iPhone at all, i'm not at liberty to discuss further, i know my place).

so it's a promised future for the iPhone. not only some junks spread over the net.

bout the device itself, clearly it's a great combination of hardware. i don't have to explain that again, u r so clever that u already knows everything rite?

maybe it's not suitable for her use. remember though that not every device in this world, and in fact not every product made in this world, can satisfy everyone's usage.
and i found that the text in bold is rather insignificant. i'd rather see it as your own excuse, not anyone's else here. something's wrong.

oh if need tweaking it sucks? c'mon la, people tweak PSP so they can get homebrew. people tweak computer to bring great performance, features, etc etc (oh looks like u never tweak your computer, i dunno that). people tweak car so they can get what they desired. and we are not forcing people to do tweaks here either. but one thing for sure, it adds great functionalities to the iPhone, so nothing's wrong. oh and u will still say it sucks. ok then, have fun.

phone buttons are lot more cheaper to be manufactured. and the touchscreen of the iPhone is not the regular one, it's multitouch. mmm...ok i've said before that not every product can cater everyone's need, so maybe iPhone is just not that suitable for u (based on your preference for user input). yeah touchscreens still got long way to go for other appliances like desktop computers, but for the iPhone it already works great. it's not only bout the touchscreen, its also bout the underlying software that makes it happen. guess that i don't have to tell u further how other companies also adopt touchscreen technologies for future computers (oh sorry i dunno u don't like the future that bad). at least there are already some tablet computers that make use of touchscreen (of course some still got keyboard, but some get full touchscreen for input), and even the full touchscreen hardware Surface (sorry i got a bit off topic), but this is the way of future (sorry again crazyconsumer)
oh maybe u love SMSing while driving, and iPhone will distract u from your driving and leads to higher probability of accident. so clearly iPhone is not suitable as for your input preference.

uh oh, u got it wrong, it gives example on the current and future software, making use of the same functionality on the hardware, but greater outcome on the software in very near future. what's wrong with that?

i really love how people compare apples to oranges. it's a comparison for small mobile portable devices.
or maybe in your realm, these type of small mobile portable devices shouldn't exist.
sorry i have to write it as mobile + portable + small, so u'll not spin it off for your bashing efforts.

this thread becomes so dirty with all your bashing effort. while people tried to get friendly and tries to explain, u do that again. guess that i have tried to explain before. if people just ask u to google, u said "scrap this lowyat forum", but when people starts explaining, u start to bla bla bla again. so next time, google is your best friend. believe me. oh u don't have to take my words actually, sorry.

well, u prove my post before to be right. asking people this and that, and then u start again.
mmm...maybe iPhone still not that good for u, so for a better mobile phone with more great features, maybe u need something from the future (future? i know u really hate future tense).

oh btw i remembered u said this before:
yup, phones can be tweaked to the max, but the outcome will not be as spectacular as on the iPhone. remember the iPhone itself is on a completely different platform, and the performance itself is still the same in comparison of the tweaked and the non-tweaked ones (as still no overclocking is involved). so performance-wise, it's still the same. they just added the softwares via Installer that downloads directly from the iPhone itself OTA, adding the functionalities. actually it's hardly called "tweaking", it's just "installing", and the process is automated too.

oh the hardware itself, it brings greater performance than other smartphones in market relatively with currently one of the most powerful ARM processor in it's heart. so try to compare tweaking a phone with a lower end processor and a high ender, u should already know what u'll get. and that's not inclusive of how efficient is the OS itself compared to the other smartphone platform. eye candy yet reliable, this is still not achievable on other platforms, and yet OSX Mobile is still new in market.

it's YOU that make this thread looks like kopitiam, loaded with craps on how u try to defend yourself. u still don't get it rite?

mmm...so yeah, in the end, it's up to the "consumer" that decides which product to buy and to be used in daily life. so u find that it still serve your needs, then why not stick with it rite? no problem.
but this "my 386 is still running and doing the same thing" thing looks weird to me. oh maybe it's a tweaked 386! i dunno it's that good...

oh guess that "maybe" this is the last time u get the response from me regarding this issue. i know u haven't asked for it, but it's just like a chatter with people (but not an empty one), more like a social service to me. and i already know that u already grab the concept of what i've said in here, but u just try to ignore the facts. maybe because u just bought a WinMo device and then u regret that so much, and then u channeled all your frustrations here (but in a reversed way). most of us here have already used WinMo devices before (and also other smartphone platforms), and we understand.

or if i'm wrong, just let me know.

have a nice day!

a) mmm...i dunno much bout this, but so far i don't have problem with mp3 files. as long as it is in mp3 format it should be fine, and of course the AAC format. in case u still have problem with transferring the audio files, just select "Convert Selection to MP3 / AAC / etc etc", following the format u have set in Preference > Advanced > Importing.
b) looks like u can tap to virtually any wifi spot that's connected to the internet. in fact, tapping into wireless access point is superduper easy. so far i got no prob on connecting with public wifi hotspots.

or maybe some expert can clarify these.

wow, u r so matured, and the answer is really spectacular.

"my friend saw on the net...", "my friend already tried it...", "my friend bla bla bla...". u cant even look to it on the internet by yourself. impressive. welcome to the internets. *yawn*

please, dont spam with one word comment.

?





btw thanks to malayneum for reviving this old thread. it's a great place for discussion on disadvantages of iPhone.
people from Apple are really reading this to improvise their product ...................... Nope.
