- BenBenMan, on 12/05/2007, -9/+33It shouldn't need a plugin to do this.
- ph33d, on 12/05/2007, -1/+21TUAW is hardly "blog spam." In fact I find their straightforward summaries preferable to slogging my way through the Hackint0sh forums.
- nnny, on 12/05/2007, -1/+11Now all we need is a flash plugin
- AngryOx, on 12/05/2007, -7/+13Wow yet another feature that I figured should have already been in an iPhone.
- pyrates, on 12/05/2007, -0/+6I'm tired of people calling any article written by a blogger to be blog spam. What is so wrong about it? Nothing. In fact I could call digg one big blog. Are you going to now call digg blog spam?
- inactive, on 12/05/2007, -2/+7Now all it needs is way to open links in a new tab.
- Jordan117, on 12/05/2007, -0/+5There is -- it's a bookmarklet called Tabulate.

- IEatHamburgers, on 12/05/2007, -0/+4No point, when you open a link in a new tab it disappears two minutes later due to low memory anyway.
- DaleoftheUK, on 12/05/2007, -2/+5Cool, free plug-in that lets you download. Yet bound to get the "this should have been included, along with a lightsaber!".
- inactive, on 12/05/2007, -5/+8love the plugin but that giant green button makes my brain cry.
- starf, on 12/05/2007, -0/+3Cool.
Still waiting on a safari block or don't load images option. - leptons, on 12/05/2007, -2/+4iPhone is iCandy, it serves no useful purpose. hacking a browser so it will download to local storage is just absurd. Apple really knows how to cripple their products, don't they.
- Tippis, on 12/05/2007, -0/+2Well, truth to be told, Pocket IE *does* suck ass... Opera is where it's at ;)
- skinfitz, on 12/05/2007, -0/+2Yep Opera is cool. AND YOU CAN DOWNLOAD!.... AND... (wait for it..)... UPLOAD!
- TomFrost, on 12/05/2007, -2/+4It's been YEARS -- how are you still not familiar with Apple's business model? The goal is to make products with the absolute minimum number of buttons or options -- one device that will please the greatest number of people, made with simplicity in mind. How many people in the general public actually have a REASON to download some sort of a file onto their telephone through the web browser? What's more, how many people who haven't *hacked* their phone need to do this? Practically none. Hell, most of you hadn't even thought about it until this very digg submission. So why in the world would Apple include the button and options for this for their phone when it doesn't appeal to the greatest number of people?
Sure, I want the feature too. But that's still no excuse to do something grossly outside of their business model -- something that's been extremely successful for them. - djmollusk, on 12/05/2007, -0/+2nice. would be nice to see it the other way around too. the ability to browse a certain directory on the phone and upload a file.
- Moviespo, on 12/05/2007, -0/+1You can get them off the phone with the ishare app...I wonder is this will work if I take the flash plugin and put it in that folder too

- sleze, on 12/05/2007, -0/+1Yeah...I find it odd that any browser in this day and age would not support the downloading of files by default. What happens when you try to click on a file without the plugin? Opera Mini on my old razr handles it just fine.
- archer1012, on 03/26/2008, -0/+1To Get The Best iPhone Downloads "See Whats Hot"
Here: http://watch-dogreviews.com/iphonedownloads.html - Ellipsys, on 12/05/2007, -0/+1Indeed, should have been part of the "real browser" from the beginning. However, I'd prefer someone wake me when I can use something besides god damn iTunes to transfer music and data back and forth. Previous iPods could do it, but I can't seem to find any projects to provide plugins for other media playing software for the iPhone. I'd settle for a stand alone program too. It seems development here is at a standstill... I don't want to be locked into iTunes!
- chrisxkelley, on 12/10/2007, -0/+1Yeah, it would be nice if it popped up a javascript console asking if you'd like to download the file or something. And for mp3's, etc that normally play with quicktime, this plugin could ask if you want to download them or play them with qt. Possibly something I would like to see in the future--but for now I'm happy.
- inactive, on 12/05/2007, -1/+1Shhhh. You had me at "Now..."
But seriously, that is my biggest pet peeve with my iPhone. But one can wish. - Tippis, on 12/05/2007, -2/+2"/ipod owner (i.e. not a windows fanboy)"
Non sequitur -- Windows is what made the iPod a hit (or at least what made it take off) - osage, on 12/05/2007, -3/+3if only i had an iphone
- mobilitatis, on 12/05/2007, -1/+1Now you cand Download your wallpapers direct on to you iPhone from:
http://iphonelive.org/wallpapers - adc89, on 12/06/2007, -1/+1That's the equivalent of the home folder in OS X.
- skinfitz, on 12/05/2007, -9/+9Wait... you can't DOWNLOAD files with Safari on the iPhone?! I knew you couldn't UPLOAD, but no downloading? Does the list of things you can't do with the iPhone ever end..?
- marsianin2, on 08/05/2008, -0/+0Music just for you on:
http://cheapmp3store.com
http://music4downloadonline.com
Also download movies for iPod at http://easybuymovies.com - daines88, on 12/06/2007, -1/+1Yes, let's download things into the ROOT folder... seems like a great idea to me!
- inactive, on 12/05/2007, -1/+1That's awesome, now you need to figure out why you would want to?
How the hell are you going to get those things off your iphone!?! - christophocles, on 12/05/2007, -6/+6Shows how little I knew about my mom's iphone. It has a perfectly functional browser yet it requires a frigging hack just to be able to download a file off the internet?! And I thought Pocket IE's download capability sucked ass.. This just adds to the list of reasons I'm glad I didn't drink AT&T's ***** kool-aid and get an iphone instead of a vastly superior PocketPC (for the same price).
- pablogott, on 12/05/2007, -2/+2obviously not.

direct link - http://www.hackint0sh.org/forum/showthread.php?t=1 ... - bugmenottt, on 12/05/2007, -2/+0Mobile Safari’s auto-linking for phone numbers instead of creating your own tel links. While tel is a bona-fide URI standard, the current user experience handling of unrecognized URIs in desktop browsers leaves something to be desired.
Once installed and customized, it allows you to download data off the Internet and store it on your iPhone or iPod touch local disk in the /var/root/Downloads folder.
http://idemocracy.info/ - Tippis, on 12/05/2007, -4/+2How is it not blogspam?
TFA is meant to drive traffic to TUAW, rather than to the actual plugin.
The TUAW posts adds nothing that isn't in the hackint0sh post.
There is no "slogging throught" needed, since the ilnk provided leads directly to the relevant post. - dbz253, on 12/05/2007, -11/+6seriously. the only advantage i have seen so far of an iphone to a windows mobile phone is visual voicemail. the disadvantages, however, are numerous.
