    iFunBox can’t import music to iPod library! It can only export music and videos from iPod library to PC, in addition with random filenames!

    If I jailbrake my iphone4 will I be able to download documents to the memory without using itunes? pictures, video’s, pdf’s etc.

    This is so easy with Android and I would never buy an iphone because it doesn’t feel like its my phone. But… I happen to have one so I’m wondering if jailbraking will make it more like an Android phone.
