You don't promote yourself as a hacker unless your getting paid for it. Ari's app would be turned down by Apple anyways, because it violates the use of iTunes as the medium for the device. You're not allowed to put files on the device like a Flash drive.
If Ari wants full programming and use a device to the full extent, he should get an android phone and program on that than the iCrap. It's more challenging to program for android than the iPhone one (mainly due to the limitles possibilies and functionality of the device), but you receive more satisfaction from creating the app and seeing something that actually useful rather than another "toy".
Oh is that why the iPhone is so popular? Because it doesn't do anything useful? I knew there had to be some reason, thanks for clearing that up for us.
Oh, hey Zak. Thanks for reminding us that you're still a condescending jackass. You hadn't posted in a while and I was beginning to forget; thanks for clearing that up.
the iphone is a fad. The app store only has a few useful apps which are on all other mobile OSs anyways.
Reasons why the iCrap sucks.
* iTunes. * you have to "jailbreak" the phone to get more use out of it. * you can only install useful apps after jailbreaking it. * you cannot change the battery or memory of the phone. * it took how long for copy / paste? * you still can't MMS yet * using your phone with exchange screws up your exchange account and you have to reload your email on the phone to get it working again. ...shall I keep going? * easily breaks since the screen is glass and not a hard plastic * no voice dialing * no FLASH (ever) * resolution is only 320x480 where the FUZE is 480x640 * no document editing, no word or excel * no real GPS in google maps (only cell area)
Oh, hey, Casey. Thanks for telling us what a condescending jackass Zak is and always has been. I didn't know that and don't really remember having seen him here before, so thanks for clearing that up.
what's a statement without proof. You say someone's an idiot, but the only idiot here is the initial person making that statement.
Can you MMS on the iPhone? NO!! Why not? Apple says NO...
Can I install flash support or a flash player on the iPhone? NO... infact NEVER. SJ said that never wants flash on the phone since it'll disrupt the connection to iTunes.
Now, when I want a feature, something that the device is suppose to do, not an application, and the company says "no". Than why bother with that piece of garbage?
maarek7, did Steve Jobs shit in your shoe or something? I think iTunes is great software, at least on the Mac. There are plenty of really useful apps in the App Store. It has Copy/Paste & MMS now, give it up already. Breaks easily? Do you even have an iPhone, let alone seen one before? ... Uh oh, did I just fall for the oldest trick in the book and feed the Troll?
Damn maarek, as soon as people read your post I expect Apple stock to plummet! I didn't even know Apple said "NO" to MMS. That's crazy. I thought it was because ATT pushed support back to later this summer. I'm glad you posted so you could correct my thinking!

Your statement is invalid. Your an idiot go sit in the corner.

No voice dialing? No "real" GPS? You still using a 1st gen iPhone on the original OS? Haha.

straw man argument is a straw man
