iPhone Linux

Summer is long over and lots hackers and geeks have spent a lot of
time again behind their computers. The results are very interesting at
times, like the just released first Linux OS port for the Apple
iPhone.

You did not mention that according to the article the application does
not work!

I have downloaded the app and will try it myself this weekend.

And you have to access it thru Wi-Fi only. Can't use that 3G "Unlimited"
plan for it. Unlimeted is Very limited.

I tried it for several hours today watching a good part of "Men in
Black" and a TV show, "How I met your Mother". I got Playback error
once but a quick retry and the connection started. Joost does work. It
does only work on WiFi. That is a limitation, but I don't think that
makes it very limited.

Personally I would rather download a movie or show on to my iPhone than
stream them to my iPhone.

Wrong. Installing apps over 3G works fine.

I think there is a ten megabyte size limit for an app over 3G but I
have yet to find one that large that I downloaded directly to the
iPhone. I have about 60 apps on my iPhone now. About 25% were
downloaded over 3G.

Why the 10mb size limit on a unlimited plan ? When I had my Treo on the
unlimited plan I never got anything saying you could not. I dl service packs
that once was over 50mb in size. Never got the can't dl due to size.

Only the iPhone has limits ? Over 10 mb and your out of luck ?

Sign me up today.

I was going to get around to this. You are right about the AT&T
Network. They appear to impose a 10MB cap per file transfered. If you
want to stream more data then that break it up into chunks just like
any other file transfer program does.

Google now allows you to have 20MB emails. Did you notice that you
have to download many attachments one at a time instead of the whole
ball of wax at once with the big emails?

Many aps from the apt store tend to be less than 10MB, although I have
some really big ones that AT&T would prevent transfer over the 3G side
of heir networks. You could still grab a big app over their wifi
network if you were near an AT&T hot spot.

That is the point. Apps over 10mb do not get installed over the 3G. Total BS
as this is a iPhone only thing.

Go grab it over a wifi hotspot ? hahaha another iPhone gotcha. That must be
why there still is no mms on the iphone.

The only conceivable reason I can think of for MMS not being supported
is that Apple's market research shows that not enough people want it
for them to prioritise its development.

Do a Google on it. A lot of people want it. More then not.
