Apple iPhone
Downloading From The Safari Browser?
I was just wondering...Will you be able to download files(mp3's,video's,etc...) from the safari browser itself on the iphone? I'm able to do this on my ppc 6700's IE browser, and i find mp3's, video's, and midi ringtones that way. Thanks.

That's a great question.
It's not clear to me that the iPhone has any kind of file browser at all. All they've shown so far is the iPod interface for music and video, and that photo browser. You can view certain types of email attachments, but it's not clear that you can save them to access outside of the Mail app.
I do know that Apple has expressed a lot of concern about security re. viruses etc., which is why they don't allow real 3rd-party software. It's possible it won't support adding files via any method other than iTunes sync, and that may only support certain specific file types.

I, for one, make no assumption about the ability to download and save files via Safari. I've seen no evidence that it can, and based on Apple's stance on security with this product, it would not surprise me at all if it simply didn't have that option.

apple is smart - I dont know about you guys but after I download 3rd party apps, although they are cool for WM, sooner or later the device need a reinstall. Maybe its my bad luck but this happend on the treo, Q, I730 every other phone I have had. I am gonna try and just stick with whats on the phone- it seems pretty robust.
Also keep in mind its apples FIRST phone. HTC, Motorola and Palm have dozens of models and they still cant get it right!
