More Iphone fun

Found an e-book program that works. Not sure why finding a program on cydia that just reads text files has so far been impossible. But I did find e-books. I have to save things as html which is no big deal. I have Alison Croggon The Riddle on the phone now. Also transferred music files to Dtunes. Pwnplayer lite had problems with some files. Dtunes doesn't seem to. Next is trying to put videos into Dtunes. Using HandBrake.

Freedom from Itunes update

I ran into some problems with the direct file transfer method. For some reason I was unable transfer files larger than 130 megs. I retrenched and I am now sftping with Cyberduck. I am also now using pwnplayer lite. I'm not sure why. But is seems like a good multimeda player. I'm not sure how much I've put on the phone, but I bet I have a lot of space left.

iphone mostly free from Itunes

I did it. I put music on my Iphone without Itunes. Very happy. Open Root then Var then Mobile then Library. Then create a file called Downloads and than you can play things in Dtunes. It requires Netatalk and OpenSSH, but that's it. No need for Itunes. Yeah. Still need Itunes to upgrade even with jailbreak. But the more I can do without it the better. At some point I will clear out what I put on my phone with Itunes, but not tonight. Oh yeah. The music was Superchunk Crossed Wires cd single. very cool.
