When you are browsing through a playlist in iTunes and click on Cover Flow view, you can view album art of all the songs just in that playlist. But on iPhone, the Cover Flow view shows album art of all the songs on my iPhone even when I am playing or browsing a playlist. It just doesn’t make any sense. BTW I am still on 1.02 firmware. Can anyone please confirm if this sillyness still exists in latest 1.1.1 firmware.
Lots of iPod and music related news from Apple yesterday which doesn’t make me buy another iPod, but I did order an iPhone.

iTunes and QuickTime instead of Window Media Player ?
I love iTunes and use it to manage my iPod’s and some video podcasts. I must admit here that many of my friends use Anapod explorer to manage their iPods, but I love iTunes (Smart Playlists). I use Quicktime when I need to open QT movies and most of the time I even forget that I have QT installed on my machine. But this author from Roughlydrafted goes little further and says Apple already managed to convince hundreds of millions of Windows users to download and use iTunes and Quicktime in place of Windows Media Player.
If Apple had not already managed to convince hundreds of millions of Windows users to download and use iTunes and QuickTime in place of the Window Media Player software that comes bundled with Windows, it might be hard to imagine why Windows users might want to use Safari.#
IMO it’s BULLSHIT. I admit that I am a Windows user all my life, but right now I am planning to switch to Mac very soon and join the club. I am also closely following all the Mac related websites in my feed reader and after reading couple of articles on the above mentioned site, anyone can guess what he is trying to tell. So here is my question to all of you.
Do you use iTunes and QuickTime instead of Window Media Player ?
Why I hate my Windows Mobile
With all the hype surrounding iPhone and after reading Apple’s get ready for iPhone page, I thought I will write how disappointed I am with my Windows Mobile phone (i-mate JASJAM running WM5) and Microsoft.
I am using Vista and the program to sync my Vista laptop with my mobile is Windows Mobile Device Center. According to Microsoft,
Windows Mobile Device Center helps you to quickly set up new partnerships, synchronize business-critical information such as e-mail, contacts and calendar appointments, easily manage your synchronization settings, and transfer business documents between your device and PC. #
Safari on Vista
Woot.
