iPhone's sad restrictions.

[nilsemil]

Hey.

I think it is pretty sad with all the restrictions apple put into the iphone.

For me working with two different computers it feels pretty useless to not serve the device with itunes on each machine (two macbooks one pro).

Not being able to use it as a harddrive does certainly not help.

I just cant really see the long-term benefit with these restrictions. Piracy, wtf? I dont know if you americans got Spotify yet, but it works great. Still, carrying a hard drive with you everywhere and then no chance of using it sucks.

Cool blog.

Americans do not get Spotify yet (in the app store --- those who jailbreak may get it).

If your computers have wifi then you can use your iPhone as a hard drive.

But you need a network right?

I agree but the jailbreak community has fixed a lot of the restrictions. Until Apple loosens their grip on the iphone a lot of people will continue to jailbreak.

That's typically how wifi is used, yes.

Nope. You don't need a wireless network to connect to your computer though wifi. Just set up computer-to-computer sharing. Wifi without a router.

I thought its been like that for many years since the ipod came out. You cant sync with more than one itunes library but you can manually add more music from different itunes on other computers.

You're welcome do use a different kind of phone if you have such a problem with the iPhone.

If you set the iPhone to manually manage music then can't you use both iTunes libraries?

Nope. With the iPod touch you can, but with the iPhone, you can't.
