If you can't link up your phone to your iBook via either USB or Bluetooth, then try emailing the photos from your cell, and then download them to your iBook.
As for your previous question, there are several threads in this forum that deal with speeding up PowerPCs. Take a look and/or do a search and you'll find what you need.
If you have the install disks, run Apple hardware check and then Disk Utility to see that everything is in good working order.
In the meantime, most people here seem not to use Safari as their default browser. I like Camino and others like TenFourFox. There are still other browsers that people say work best for them. Safari's a hog and TFF is reportedly not secure.
You can make your iBook run more smoothly by purging all the Intel code. There are threads here for this here as well. My iBook came with Xslimmer installed (I think it costs 12 bucks), so I used that for the same purpose. It works great, and I don't have to muck around with codes. But many folks here will tell you not to pay for commercial software to purge Intel code. Whatever you do, don't pay for any software that claims to speed up your Mac or protect it from viruses.
If you're watching videos on YouTube, download MacTubes for better performance. Two video players that are mentioned frequently on this forum are VLC and MPlayer OS X extended. I like using both.
If you don't need a heavy duty Office suite, Bean (word processor) works great for me, and others here have recommended several alternatives. You can find pretty much any software you need by Googling, being sure to include "PowerPC" in your search terms. Many of us have found that there are good PowerPC applications to suit most of our needs.
Finally, though you said you don't want to spend money, getting a 1GB RAM stick (see the link I posted for RAM above) made all the difference in the world for me after slimming and using PowerPC enhanced software. Very quickly, you'll come to see that 512MB doesn't cut it.
