    In 2007 the fastest rising keyword on Google was iPhone, and when it was releasing, there were people crowding outside every

    apple stores.


    I got one at November. After a month accompanied with it, I was becoming unsatisfied with its built-in functions, so I

    searched for some extension ways of using it.

    Games
    Unfortunately, iphone did not built-in any games, so we have to install games by ourselves or find some free Web app games.

    Free games :( they are Web apps, it must be played via WIFI connection, EDGE connection just too slow to load them.)

    For more free games, visit this site: http://www.iphonegold.org/games, and it's been optimized for iphone to view.


    PDF/DOC/XLS/TXT reading
    so far, without crack it we can only read them in mail attachments. that means if we wanna read those documents we have

    to create a mail somewhere else and attach the documents and receive by iphone.


    Free Music/Video
    So far, Limewire seems to be the only and the easiest way to download free songs, follow this tutorial:

    With WIFI connected iphone we can watch youtube videos, so it seemed there was unnecessary to download those things, but what

    are we gonna do if we wanna share something but not covered by WIFI at moment? Download them to iphone as insurances.
    the follow guild is how to download youtube videos to iphone.
    1. Visit this website: http://vixy.net/flv_converter , it's an online FLV converter

    2. Find the video URL on the right of youtube video page, just like this format: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=lTxsIJBVCD0,

    and copy the URL to the input box on http://vixy.net/flv_converter and choose “MP4 for iPod/PSP” to convert the FLV file.

    Then press the start button and wait a moment.

    3. After conversion finished, there is a link for download the video file. Download it, and sync it via iTunes to iphone.
    1. Run iTunes.
    2. At iTunes menu click ->file, then click->add, browse to the MP4 files, select them and click "OK".
    3. Sync the playlist with iphone.


    Share videos on TV via AV cable or dock.
    iTouch/iPhone can output videos to TV through its AV cable, which is available on Apple shop for $49 include an AC charger.

    Now we can gather my friends and watch what I got on youtube, and share my slideshow of Christmas.

    1. We have to get an AV cable like above.(about 10 bucks plus shipping on Ebay :) , Apple Shop :( )
    2. Connect iphone with TV via cable, it's very simple, as the same color insert to the same color
    3. Select TV output on iphone's menu, we are able to watch videos or slideshows on TV, we can also connect a power adapter at the same time in case to avoid low battery.

    After I watched the built-in slideshow of iphone on TV, I thought it was lack of effects, so I searched on Google and found a good slideshow builder for iphone, which is called iphone slideshow, I generated an effect sample below:

    it can be downloaded here, compatible with XP/Vista, and it's really worth to try.

    I will keep in post if i find something new.
