Review - iPhone 3G - Part 7

It’s through iTunes that users will be able to synchronize and transfer data from the PC or Mac to the iPhone: there will be the possibility of choosing, on different control panels, the contents to be transfered and iTunes with automatically synchronize them. In case of a Macintosh system, iTunes will use the iPhoto sources for images, the iCal calendars, the phonebook data and the web bookmarks from Safari as default. Using Windows, instead, the user will have to choose the directory and the programs that will provide the contents for the iPhone.

Differently from the iPod shuffle, nano and classic, the iPhone 3G cannot be used as a flash storage device. With the tools currently available from Apple officially, it is not possible to access the filesystem or transfer content directly from the phone to the PC.
