What I would like to know is has anyone put a film on their iphone?? I have a few films for the kids downloaded on Utorrent and cant work out how to put them on my phone!!

hi, i am presuming the movie is in .avi format? if so, itunes does not accept this, you would need to convert it before dragging it over into itunes. once in there, then you sync the phone with itunes. hope this helps!

They need to be in the quicktime .mov format. I've done it a couple of times for my kids. Great when the footie's on. I found a free iphone movie converter on the net. Can't remember what it was called now, but if you search google for free iphone movie converter you'll find one in minutes.

The BBC has announced it will offer iPhone applications for its news and sport content starting in April.

The free apps will be followed by versions for BlackBerry and phones running Google's Android software.
The BBC said they had been developed because more people use "sophisticated handheld devices" to view content.
Several other news organisations offer iPhone apps, including Sky and the Daily Telegraph - which are free - and the Guardian - which costs £2.39.
Analysts at CCS insight said the apps would "increase tension between publishers of paid-for content and those reliant on revenue models".
The news industry is currently struggling to find a business model for the digital world.
Erik Huggers, BBC director of future media and technology, said the BBC audience "want to access the digital services that they have paid for at a time and place that suits them".
"Today's announcement means that we are catching up with our audiences," he told the Mobile World Congress in Barcelona.

Newspaper group call to block BBC iPhone apps

http://newsimg.bbc.co.uk/media/image...7317969_-7.jpg The BBC is entering a crowded market place

The BBC Trust has been urged to block the corporation's plans to launch phone apps for its news and sport content.
The Newspaper Publishers Association (NPA) said that the corporation would "damage the nascent market" for apps.
The group said that it would also raise the issues with the the Department of Culture, Media and Sport and MPs on the Media Select Committee.
The BBC has said it plans to launch its first news app on the iPhone in April, followed by one for its sport content.
It is also planning to develop more apps for its popular on-demand video iPlayer.
"Not for the first time, the BBC is preparing to muscle into a nascent market and trample over the aspirations of commercial news providers," said David Newell, director of the NPA.
He said that the market for iPhone news apps was "a unique and narrow commercial space" that would be "distorted" by the BBC apps.
"This is not, as the BBC argues, an extension of its existing online service, but an intrusion into a very tightly defined, separate market."
Several newspapers already offer iPhone apps, including the Independent and the Daily Telegraph - which are free - and the Guardian - which costs £2.39.
