i.gizmodo.com— "Trust the rogue programmers and Cydia?the independent equivalent to the iTunes App Store?to bring you one of the most awaited features ever for the iPhone: Bluetooth file transfer."

@MrBitch: Because not everyone has or wants an iPhone. If you want to share data outside of the cult of Jobs, then you need bluetooth. If you want faster data transfer than bluetooth, you could always dump your songs onto a microSD card and pass that around. Because every phone has support for....oh wait...
Jailbreak and use cydia, if this is against your morals or something tough luck, theres lots of products out there (non-apple) that require modification to get more than the intended use out of them, if you dont like it then tough luck dont buy the product in the first place to just bitch about everything. I jailbroke mine the day I brought it home from the att store
No s**t. What Apple lamer logged in to mod you down? MONO Bluetooth on an iPod, even in the wecond generation. It was even more outrageous on the first iPhone, with its horses**t headphone jack.
No, more like "still not". This requires hacked phones.Why? Because the iPhone SDK is a fraud, barely better than the "Web apps" the iPhone started with. With no way to even sync app data with the computer over a wire, let alone Bluetooth, is it any wonder that the App Store is a wasteland of fart players, gimmicks, and inept dysfunctional attempts to work around the glaringly absent functionality?The iPhone is a second-rate phone and a crippled joke as a mobile computer. Apple blocks useful development, leaving a device that can't rival the Palm OS devices of 10 years ago.
I don't have most of my contacts/friends' email addresses. And this doesnt help when I want to receive picture messages. I can deal with sending pictures via email. Receiving is RIDICULOUS. 'Viewmymessage.com' is completely asinine. The fact that they give you two passwords that you have to type in, and when you try to open it on your iphone... IT'S FLASH! FOR PHOTOS! YOU CAN'T f**kING USE IT ON YOUR IPHONE! You have to wait till you get to a real computer with a real browser to actually view it (that's IF you actually remember you got it in the first place)!I'm sorry. I get a little upset about it sometimes. But what I think they should at least let me do is, to automatically forward MMS to an email account I specify. I would be happy with that.
