After months of looking, and failing to find, a decent phone that had the bit's I wanted, I have finally relented and gone for the iphone (I really didn't want to go 'touch screen'). Having got it, I'm on the hunt for some decent apps, or any comprehensive website that lists and reviews them.

 

I am also wondering if anyone uses 'handbrake' ? I've downloaded it to copy dvd's to the phone, and wandered if anyone had any comments, good or bad... ?

 

Cheers,

 

Rob.

Hi Rob

Not got an I Phone, but if I did I'd just have to have this.

 

Software is from NASA and is FREE :)

The problem isn't what people don't know, it's what they know that just ain't so.

Believe NOTHING anyones says or writes unless you witness it yourself and even then your eyes can deceive you

None of this "the enemy of my enemy is my friend" crap it just means i have at least two enemies!

 

There is only one opinion i listen to ,its mine and its ALWAYS right even when its wrong

It is to be observed that 'angling' is the name given to fishing by people who can't fish.

If GOD had NOT meant us to go fishing, WHY did he give us arms then??

(If you can't help out someone in need then don't bother my old Dad always said! My grandma put it a LITTLE more, well different! It's like peeing yourself in a black pair of pants she said! It gives you a LOVELY warm feeling but no-one really notices!))

Dunno, and don't know if there's any way around that. One thing I've to do is to download artwork for albums I have, but I'll try copying some more and see if it resolves it doing so using itunes.

Don't care about that, kind of goes with the territory - did care about having to change my mail client to one that plays nice with iTunes sync - Macintosh forced me to install Microsoft Outlook!

 

(By the way, I can buy apps directly from my phone - click the App Store logo on your iPhone and you should be able to buy apps that way. They won't be backed up to your PC without iTunes, though)

They will be when you sync the phone mate, you will aslo get your updates as well!

Someone once said to me "Dont worry It could be worse." So I didn't, and It was!
