Apple COO speaks about iPhone, SDK
World of Apple is reporting on a recent 45-minute Q&A session with Tim Cook, Apple's COO, at the Goldman Sachs Investment Symposium. In regards to iPhone unlocking (or allowing users to move to another cell network with their iPhone), Cook said that it is "difficult" to please all users on all networks, primarily because the US uses both GSM and CDMA protocols. He did say that the iPhone model may change over time, but that the current AT&T deal provides the best coverage and simplest experience for the user."We're not married to any business model," Cook stated. "What we're married to is shipping the best phones in the world."
Cook also said that the upcoming iPhone SDK will allow developers to "only be limited by [their] imagination." He declined to give further details because Apple wants to keep "the element of surprise." Cook also talked about the AppleTV, iPhone price cuts, and iPod shuffle price cuts.
The session was recorded and is available for your listening pleasure on Apple's site.

Apple opens his SDK to limited number of programmers in the US only. See their remark on page http://developer.apple.com/iphone/program/
That is CRAZY since when the world is US only ?

I was able to convert dvd/video to iPhone using the Cucusoft iPhone Video Converter suite software .I found on http://www.oursdownload.com/dvd-to-iphone.html So far, I'm really impressed with how easy it is to use and how effectively it got the job done.
1.Download the latest version http://www.oursdownload.com/dvd-to-iphone.html and install it. You can know more about it by referring here.

3. Click 'File' menu and 'Open DVD', or directly hit 'Open DVD' button to load the DVD. Set the profile to be iPhone 480*320 mpeg-4 video which is the default DVD video quality.
4. Click around in the DVD's menu to set up DVD playback as you like, select the subtitle and audio sound tracks etc, then begin to play the movie through the software by click the play button.
5. The following window will pop up. Here, you can rename 'Title Name', set 'Save Path' and output quality, then click 'Yes' button to start ripping DVD to iPhone MP4 or iPhone H264 video from the point that the movie starts. That is all. Just so easy!

Optional parameters settings
* Select subtitles and languages
Click 'Subtitle' or 'Audio Track' in the 'Setting' menu, choose the related value you like.

* Set the start time to convert
Use the video playback controls to queue up the point at which you want to start ripping. Or click 'Setting -> Go to' and jump to previous/next chapter.
* More parameters
Click 'Setting -> Output video settings', here you can choose different profile, video/audio bitrates, video size, disable video/audio, aspect ratio, frame/sample rate, etc.
If you are not familiar with these options, please view the descriptions listed at the bottom of the window.
*Crop/cut&Resize the movie
If you want to make the widescreen dvd(16:9) to be outputted as fullscreen(4:3) video, you can use the crop function.
Set Crop to "Crop both black bands" and resize to be "stretch to full screen" if you don't need to keep the subtitle.
Set crop to "Crop the upper black band" so you can keep the subtitle in the down black band.

You can switch this two modes by clicking on the mode-Direct&Batch.

Ok off topic but.... Is it me or that dude look like that Dyson guy who makes all the vacuums.

On pricing on Europe it's a load of BS. He says the dollar "has been all over the place". It's been constantly trading at over 40 percent over the dollar. For at least the last four years.
Even with sales tax of 19 to 20 percent in Europe, Apple needs to move. One euro buys you over 1,50 dollars these days.
It pure profeetering and has nothing to do with currency fluctuations or the "little bit more expensive to do business here" line.
What a load of bs... all phones currently on the market haev no problem dealing with CDMA and GSM networks. He is blowing sunshine up all your asses - this is not a reason for not "unlocking" ask anyone who works in mobile telephony.

Ed.....
Ha! I hope that's where the resemblance ends.
MMS is _not_ basic
it's a not standard feature available only in some mobiles
no. email is the way to go.
I don't kwnof of any phone sold in Europe who doesn't have MMS.
I don't know how is the mobile market in USA, but I think that it's ahead from Asiatic and European markets.
