iPhone U-Connect – The iphone bluetooth won’t sync with my U-Connect hands free system in my Dodge Ram.  Why?  What’s the problem?  They’re both bluetooth systems.  The iphone pairs with my Jawbone..well sometimes.  And I’ve read that it has issues connecting with other handsfree systems.  Hell, if Apple made a handsfree system for the car, it probably wouldn’t connect to that either.

iPhone & Mac – Both of these electronic devices are made by Apple correct?  So why, once again, is bluetooth compatibility such a frickin issue.  I can’t pair my Mac & iphone to do anything.  iPhone bluetooth won’t send or receive files…so what’s the point.  I could do it with my Blackberry, which isn’t made by Apple, so why can’t I send files between to Apple made products?  Because they suck that’s why.

Quicktime – Quicktime is an Apple made product right.  iPhone has Quicktime as it’s default movie playing application, but if someone sends you a Quicktime movie as an email attachement, there’s no way in hell you’ll get to play it because the iPhone will say that it’s not a compatible movie type.  Another instance of incompatibility between products from the SAME DAMN COMPANY!

Network Loss – I lose connection to the network probably 5 times a day…in areas that I know should be connected.  The only way to re-connect is to shut the phone down and reboot.  Sounds like a PC if you ask me.  This is one of the more annoying traits of the iPhone.

Inability to Save Email Attachments – Someone sends you a Word document as an email attachment.  Sure you can read it on the iphone, but you can’t save it as a file to a folder.  Why?  What possible harm could one do by saving an email attachment as an individual file somewhere on the iPhone?

Apple talks about giving their users freedom to share information, music, movies, and access to anything and everything, but in realilty, Apple is so scared that you’re going to find a way to steal, modify or improperly use this information that they handcuff you from being able to do anything useful with the iPhone.  It’s purely eye-candy and they’ve tricked millions into thinking it’s something they have to have.  I’ll admit…I thought it was cool and I got one…but it will find it’s way on Ebay or in the trash soon.  I’ll go back to my old Blackberry which can actually provide functionality, not just fluff!
