Ezy All,
Is there an app that will let me use my iPhone as a Shared Device in the same way I can plug my mp3 player into my usb slot and transfer files that way?
Cheers.
July 20, 2009 at 6:45 am #73227XDCiNSANEParticipantyes, its called iTunes.. and its toss! 🙂
Seriously though.. I dont think so, if there weas, I’d have had an i*something* years ago!
July 20, 2009 at 12:55 pm #73228TurksMeisterParticipantI believe you can do it with an ipod – not sure if you can with iphone…
Maybe jailbreaking it would do it.
Ask on http://www.avforums.com – they know their shit!
July 20, 2009 at 6:47 pm #73229XDC Erratic-SpaceParticipantI think you’re right worse luck. Best I could find is Airsharing but that’s still not really what I wanted. It’s the only thing that I dislike about the iPhones (well that and iTunes.) I still think it’s the single best phone out on the market these days. Haven’t had this much fun using a phone since I picked up the first Nokia touchscreen. If anyone’s thinking about a new phone I’d certainly give it the thumbs up.
July 20, 2009 at 10:38 pm #73230TurksMeisterParticipantMe too! Am on it now and it’s awesome!! I literally can’t keep off it! Apps are the most amazing things in the world… Am such a fan boy!!
July 21, 2009 at 6:43 am #73231XDCiNSANEParticipantbah I love the screen and technology, but I despise the fact you are stuck with itunes and have to convert you’re music, otherwise i’d have one (if they were smaller), oh and as long as you could assign ringtones and use mp3s..
oh and if they hactually produced good music, they are so far behind MP3 players so not for me
July 21, 2009 at 11:57 am #73232XDC Erratic-SpaceParticipantHmm the converting part hasn’t been as annoying as I thought it would be. Is a wee bit of a pain though. Strangly the size of the thing has never really bothered me. For some reason is never actually seems that bit, and plenty big enough if you want to watch a vid. One of the main reasons I picked one up was so I could stop lugging about an mp3 and a phone. The app side of is so damn addictive. Love being able to record my sky programs via it, and all the net surfing, messaging, and other bits and bobs. With the 3g stuff it really helps for never getting lost. Many people sack their Sat Nav and use this now.
….though I haven’t actually got my replacement yet as it was delivered today and my dumbass housemate didn’t drag his sick ass out of bed to get the door. *grumble* Now I gotta arrange for it to go to the post office tomorrow!
There must an app Insane that lets you use mp3”s and stuff foryour ringtones without doing it via iTunes? Hope I can find one.

5800 FTW!
you can do the recording on most mobiles from sky mate
I believe you can, but its supposed to be a bit fiddly.. prefer “insert into USB, detect, copy and paste” meself.. again, I would get one if they acted like a normal device.
July 21, 2009 at 12:55 pm #73234TurksMeisterParticipantMy mate has the 5800 and its fucking terrible!
I have barely stopped playing around with the iphone since I bought it… currently learning my driving theory on an app for it… AMAZING!
July 21, 2009 at 5:27 pm #73235xdc the docParticipantpffft – 5800 does everyhing the iphone does… has a much better set of speakers, and great multimedia capability without all the apple restrictions…. oh and I have mine unlocked. pay as you go for 180 quid…. how much is the iphone over the 18month contract??
July 21, 2009 at 8:07 pm #73236To0THBRU5HParticipantGot my new camera phone today 😆

£35/month, and then £180 for the phone… Im a tight arse, and I cant get enough of this phone!!
How many Apps come with the 5800?!
July 22, 2009 at 6:41 am #73238XDCiNSANEParticipant5800 is the dogs gonads you foo, only thing it lacks is the iphones sexy touch screen.. oh and the camera is pretty shit too 🙂 not as good as my N95 was
Not looked into apps tbh, theres plenty of them though.. do mostly what the iFAD does
July 22, 2009 at 1:35 pm #73239TurksMeisterParticipantN95… Gashorama!!! I bought it because of an Insane review…. idiot!!
Sold it and carried on using a much better old Sony Ericsson.
July 22, 2009 at 2:24 pm #73240XDC_WolfParticipantThe iPhone is succesful because of the uptake, not based on its performance, but on the hype that surrounded it. They are tactile (big whoop) and well supported with apps, but that doesn’t make them batter. I am looking forward to the new HTC which will be an all round better phone by the looks of it, but as I will be waiting till september/october to buy one, it will have to wait!
Not getting an iPhone though, apple products are big on style, low on substance, but adequete for most things.
