iPhone and all other Apple products supporting video like iPod Nano, iPod Classic and iPod Touch can only play the mp4 file format. After all, iPod is a media device and if there are issues with playing video, the usability of the device decreases. And generally there are some problems with video in iPod. The major problem for users is, as i said above, restriction to mp4 format. It means you can transfer and play only *.mp4 files on iPods and iPhones. The major issue, that thus arises, is trying to convert other videos to mp4 format, and the fact that mp4 is also of various types.
Apple uses MP4 part 14, and there are several other MP4 standards. Hence, only those converters customized to convert video to Apple supported mp4 format work perfectly well with all range of iPods and iPhones.

IMAP (also known as Push email) is one of the two mail standards supported by the iPhone. Let me first tell you what is IMAP , before we learn how to set up your mail accounts on iPhone. If you setup your account using IMAP, you will receive email as soon as your email server receives it, just like a SMS. To use this you will need IMAP access to your mail server and also your mail server must support it. Of course, You can download the emails to your iPhone using POP too, but then your mailbox and phone will not be in sync. For eg : if you delete a mail on your phone, it will still remain on server. IMAP is more advanced which syncs both mail boxes. Whatever you do at one place, gets reflected everywhere. So, if you change something in Outlook (client) or via Outlook Web Access (browser), within moments your iPhone will show the exact same changes (and vice versa).
I will show you how to set up accounts on your iPhone for two famous email services, Gmail and Microsoft Exchange.

iPhone has been around for a while now. We have had iPhone 3G, since some time too. Maybe we will have a iPhone Nano soon enough. But the fact remains, there are various hidden tweaks in the device , that when you find them, still amaze you. Most of them are very handy, and can be a user’s delight to know. These are some of them, which i could find. If you know one that’s not present here, please let me know.
Press & Hold For Alternate Characters
Keep holding any letter, and you get a popup of various versions of the character (i.e. to type España with the “ñ” simply hold “n” and simply slide/release to the appropriate character).
Automatically capitalize and add apostrophes
The iPhone automatically capitalizes certain words (”I” when you type “i”). It also automatically adds apostrophes (”I’m” when you type “Im”).

Nokia 5800, the latest entrant in the touch-screen war, is the first product by Nokia. While others rolled out touch-screen products almost immediately after iPhone, Nokia has been more reserved and it appears it has succeeded in making a real rival for the iPhone. With Nokia 5800, Nokia has produced a device almost as good or even better in every aspect than the iPhone 3G.
Delivering on Nokia’s vision to provide the best total music experience possible, the Nokia 5800 XpressMusic will be among the first devices to support Comes With Music, Nokia’s groundbreaking service which offers one year of unlimited access to the entire Nokia Music Store catalog.
Among the many features it offers some of the most prominent ones are the variety of input methods: stylus, plectrum and finger touch support for text input and UI control (alphanumeric keypad, full and mini qwerty keyboard, handwriting recognition). You can use the Nokia 5800 XpressMusic to connect to mobile broadband using WLAN or HSDPA (3.5G). Supported WCDMA frequencies depend on the region where the device is available. You can also find directions and locations with the integrated A-GPS and included maps. Also the phone introduces the ‘Media Bar’, a handy drop down menu that provides direct access to music and entertainment, web and online sharing all at once.

We all know much about the various features packed into the iPhone, but there are some that still escape the eye. One of the more unique features in the iPhone is its trio of sensors (orientation, light, and proximity ). The latter two being behind the glass, right above the earpiece.
The light sensor (for dimming the backlight) is great for saving power, but its use is nothing compared to the the other two sensors, which steal the show. It automatically adjusts the display’s brightness to the appropriate level for the current ambient light, thereby enhancing the user experience and saving power at the same time.
The proximity sensor, which prevents you from accidentally interacting with the screen while the iPhone is pressed against your ear, switches off the display at about 0.75-inches away; the screen switches back on after you pull away about an inch. It detects when you lift iPhone to your ear and immediately turns off the display to save power and prevent inadvertent touches until iPhone is moved away.
The orientation sensor also worked well enough. Although you can’t turn the phone on its head, when browsing in Safari you can do a 180, jumping quickly from landscape left to landscape right. The iPhone does get confused sometimes due to odd angles, but on the whole performs very well. Its also well known as the accelerometer and finds use in many applications.
