In 2007 the fastest rising keyword on Google was iPhone, and when it was
releasing, there were people crowding outside every apple stores.
I got one at November. After a month accompanied with it, I was
becoming unsatisfied with its built-in functions, so I searched for
some extension ways of using it.
Games
Unfortunately, iphone did not built-in any games, so we have to install
games by ourselves or find some free webware-based-games.
Free games : ( they are base on webware, it must be played via WIFI
connection, EDGE connection just too slow to load them.)

For more free games, you can visit this site:
http://www.iphonegold.org/games, and it's been optimized for iphone to
view.
Free Music/Video
So far, Limewire seems to be the only and the easiest way to download
free songs.
With WIFI connected iphone we can watch youtube videos, so it seemed
there was unnecessary to download those things, but what are we gonna
do if we wanna share something but not covered by WIFI at moment?
Download them to iphone as insurances.
the follow guild is how to download youtube videos to iphone.
1. Go to this website: http://vixy.net/flv_converter , it's an online
FLV converter

2. Find the video URL on the right of youtube video page, just like
this format: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=lTxsIJBVCD0,
and copy the URL to the input box on http://vixy.net/flv_converter and
choose "MP4 for iPod/PSP" to convert the FLV file.
Then press the start button and wait a moment.

3. After conversion finished, there is a link for you to download the
video file. Download it, and sync it via iTunes to iphone.
1. Run iTunes.
2. At iTunes menu click -file, then click-add, browse to the MP4 files,
select them and click "OK".
3. Sync the playlist with iphone.
Share videos on TV via AV cable or dock.
iTouch/iPhone can output videos to TV through its AV cable, which is
available on Apple shop for $49 include an AC charger.
Now we can gather my friends and watch what I got on youtube, and share
my slideshow of Christmas.

1. We have to get an AV cable like above.
2. Connect iphone with TV via cable, it's very simple, as the same
color insert to the same color
3. Select TV output on iphone's menu, we are able to watch videos or
slideshows on TV, we can also connect a power adapter at the same time
in case to avoid low battery.
After I watched the built-in slideshow of iphone on TV, I thought it
was lack of effects, so I searched on Google and found a good slideshow
builder for iphone, which is called iphone slideshow, I generated a
sample below:

http://www.photo-to-dvd.com/iphone-slideshow.html, it's for XP/Vista,
and it's really worth to try.

Oops....there needs to be a correction. These games are NOT "installed"
on your iPhone. They are just browser-based games played on the iPhone
browser. iPhones don't "install games", or anything else, so we can SELL
you something.
To see the difference, go to:
http://maemo.org/downloads/OS2007/games/
and
http://maemo.org/downloads/OS2008/games/
for the Nokia Linux tablets. To INSTALL the games, which require no
airtime or data connection after installation, you simply click the green
arrow, which downloads the .install files to the tablet and runs the
install procedure, complete with any data libraries necessary. There are
also emulators so you can run gameware from other systems on the tablet
like Xmaeme and ScummVM, virtual machines that allow the tablet to run
game cart programs.
It may take a while for an iPhone owner to get acclimated to open source
software, but they usually get the hang of DOWNLOADING and INSTALLING
software for free in short order. We've just had a free major upgrade
from Maemo Linux OS2007 to Maemo Linux OS2008 for the N800 second
generation tablets from Nokia, who tries to keep its customers by not
alienating them when major new upgrades occur, in hopes, of course, that
they'll also want the new hardware the company is selling. Many N800
owners just couldn't stand it and had to have that slideout keyboard, but
the upgraded N800 will run all the N810 OS2008 software, too. I'm
sticking with the N800, myself, as it has 16GB of storage on SD cards,
not 8GB on microSD cards (N810) and I already own a Nokia folding BT
keyboard, far superior to the thumb keyboard entry. I'm typing on it for
this message over rdesktop from a wifi-equipped diner to the XP box at
home.
Four nice games are installed in the operating systems for the tablets
from Nokia. I like Chess, but I'd rather play with a human who screws
up, rather than the damned computer that's miles ahead of my moves making
me look just awful. Quetoo is great fun for the Quake experts....which
doesn't include me, either. I'm still working on learning the 57
solitaire games from Aisleriot, which has yet to be ported to the new OS.
I'm hoping it will be ported very soon as I don't see how they can
improve on its operation. Again, real cards is sometimes better.
Computer solitaire games won't let you cheat....dammit.
Dump iPhone and get a nice tiny Bluetooth toyphone you can hold to your
ear without everyone laughing and a new N800 or N810 tablet with real
speakers and INSTALLABLE SOFTWARE. Much better YOU control what's
installed than "them"......(c;
