If Apple wanted they could’ve easily DRM’ed all Mp3s and restricted all transfers of Mp3′s/Mp4′s.

I feel Apple didn’t pay much attention to Bluetooth since a Music Oriented Company like Apple didn’t include a basic feature like the A2DP Profile !

I think Apple might provide us with these features !

If I remember correctly Steve Jobs had once said that iPhone doesn’t need PC like Applications, its a Phone its meant to work as a Phone, but finally he realized the potential and opened up the iPhone ! Guess he’ll do the same now.

Hope the future Firmware updates provide us with atleast A2DP !

Only legit users suffer due to DRM and these funny stupid restrictions while pirates enjoy :p

And musicians and artists are not getting much cuz the publishers and middleman takes a huge amount from the revenue. Musicians and artists are left with nothing but a lock up contract for years.

Anyway, what I wanted to say was that you’re writing skills have improved. Congrats!

It’s the content providers who forced Apple’s hand here. Since the feature exists on Macs, I see no reason why it wouldn’t on the iPhone had it been Apple’s call to make.

As for transferring pictures, it’s fairly low on Apple’s priority list as there are already at least three ways to do so. Greg Joswiak said they were scratching items off their list one-by-one and I’m sure they’ll get there. Have patience.

Of course, in the previous iteration that was a much more lucid reply but I’m very frustrated now, so I just chopped it up. Depending on who you are, that may be a good thing or a bad one.

(Oh, and your blog saved my name and website address and everything, as if that’s what I would mind typing again. Grr.)

I can understand if they don’t want you to transfer music and movies from the iPod section of the device. But I would like to see some transferring going on from my Camera roll, my contacts, my (future) cam videos, and heck, even my entire photo library. The Macs do it so well, with Bonjour, that I’m sure the iPhone can also have this kind of flawless syncing.

And even if bluetooth isn’t the ideal way for bonjour, then at least provide some wifi syncing so that two iPhone users can so such transfers.

Nice article btw. Didn’t expect this to come from you…

Bring down the internet, ban cds & dvds. After all these are the major players in piracy.
