iPod Touch Tricks & Hacks

That's right...it's very much possible. There is an app called Air Sharing, that lets you do that. Really simple to use. So here's how you go about it:

1.Download Airsharing app from App Store.

2.Make sure your PC has Bonjour installed( I think it gets installed with iTunes by default).

3.You need to have a Wifi connection to use this though.

4.Open the app Airsharing on your iPhone.

5.You can connect to your iPhone by setting up your iPhone as a Network Drive on your PC, or you can also access your iPhone from your web browser.(the help pages in the App are very detailed, you will not face any issues in setting this up)

6.You can also configure it as a ad-hoc network.

Mac:

Open the Apple menu and select System Preferences.

Click Network.

Click AirPort.

Under Network Name, select Create Network.

Give your network a name (this is what you will connect to later on your iPhone), and a password if you wish. You can leave the channel option alone.

Click OK.

Windows 7:

Go to the Start Menu and type wireless in the search field

Click Manage Wireless Network

Click Add

Click Create an ad hoc network

Click Next

Give your network a name (this is what you will connect to later on your iPhone). Set up a password for your network if you wish.

Click Next

Windows Vista:

Open the Start menu, then click Control Panel.

Click Network and Internet.

Click Network and Sharing Center.

Click "Set up a connection or network" from the Tasks toolbar on the left.

Choose "Set up a wireless ad hoc (computer-to-computer) network."

Click Next.

Click Next.

Give your network a name (this is what you will connect to later on your iPhone).

Set up a password for your network if you wish.

Click Next.

Click Close.

Windows XP:

Open the Start menu, and click My Network Places.

Click "View network connections" from the Network Tasks toolbar on the left.

Find your wireless network connection, right click on it, and select Properties.

Click the Wireless Networks tab.

Click Advanced.

Select "Computer-to-computer (ad hoc) networks only" then click Close.

Click Add.

Give your network a name (this is what you will connect to later on your iPhone).

Set up a password for your network if you wish. Uncheck the box next to "The key is provided for me automatically" if you want to enter a password. Select Disabled in the Data encryption drop down menu if you do not wish to have a password.

Click OK.

Click OK.

Once done, just transfer your music and videos to your iPhone like you do a file transfer to a USB. The files will be opened in your iPhone using the quicktime player.

The Orkut interface for the iPhone and iPod Touch has been upgraded.Now it has more features and looks similar to the Facebook app found in the App Store.

The new Orkut also has the feature of displaying the updates from various users.This feature was available in the main Orkut page but was missing from the mobile version of the iPhone and iPod Touch.The new Orkut now looks more like an app.It also includes a top navigation bar with has the Home, Scrapbook , Photos and other buttons.

Just imagine how would that be?The Android platform on the iPhone.Relax guys nothing like that has happened till now.But we can't rule it out.But the big question will be can the Android power an iPhone?

Android is a software stack for mobile devices that includes an operating system, middleware and key applications.Google unveiled the 1st Android phone few days back.Its called the G1.Very soon many other phones supporting the Android platform will be out in the market.

I've seen videos on the G1 and i have to say,though it looks descent,it can't be compared to an iPhone(looks-wise).I would love to get my hand on a G1 to compare it with the iPhone.

At present the G1 has mostly Google related apps.But we should not forget that Android is open source.There is no bar on developing Android apps.Hence we many see some interesting apps very soon.

If anyone finds out a way to run Android apps on the iPhone then nothing like it.I can assure you the moment something like this comes up I'll be one among the first ones to post about it..So keep checking this blog.
