apple is acting like some boy, who lends someone his favorite toy, but does not allow him to play with it… bluetooth – but no way to connect or sync via it. no possibility to use the iphone as a simple flash drive to quickly swap files around. no way to transfer music or videos other than itunes. stop being childish and open it up. it is just some device (which will be outdated soon anyway).

You dont have to be a hacker or afraid of jailbreaking. If you have ever installed a new application and can read you can do it. Its easy and takes 5 minutes go to http://blog.iphone-dev.org/ for all the latest software for free from the community of friendly and dedicated hackers who make this possible for you. You can find really great tutorials at http://www.iclarified.com that will walk you through every step. A caveman can do this. And bad news, APPLE WILL NEVER LET YOU DO THIS! Again I say, this is why we jailbreak, Apple has great products with ridiculous restrictions. Stop drinking the company apple cider and step out believing you should have total control over the handset you shelled out several hundred dollars for. It truly is a palmtop computer, AFTER you jailbreak. Right now its an inmate in a small prison recreation yard. Believe in yourself because you CAN do it. Would you allow such ridiculous limitation of you home PC/MAC? Say you could ONLY buy software from apple, thats an antitrust issue, it’s monopolizing the market like Microsoft in the 90’s. Once you jailbreak, you whole outlook on technology and you own tech savvy will change. I took the leap of faith and have been thoroughly rewarded for it. I even turned it into a business. email me if you have questions! iclearsolutions@yahoo.com

Very nice, but for those of us who are not hackers and don’t want to jailbreak – when will Apple make this kind of capability possible through the front door? Seems like an absolute killer app to me, especially when the need for a desktop PC/Mac can be dispensed with entirely. I’m imagining a simple wireless connection to a keyboard and monitor.

1) it’s not possible

2) that’s the only way

Does anyone know how to port forward the phone so you can use it from any computer even if you’ve left the phone at home?

Also my screen keeps timing out. The phone thinks I’m not using it. Is there a way to keep it alive while using it other than changing the actual timer in the iPhone settings? If I did that and it was for too long, even after I was finished with it, the phone would stay on and the battery would drain!

Option = Lock Screen

BTW, “Multi-Tap” Modifier Key “Command” Number of Taps “2″ does work, just tap command twice. Then I have “Multi-Tap” Modifier Key “Option” Number of Taps “2″ for lock screen, tap Option twice to lock.

Hope that helps!

OK. So the answer is “Control/Click” is the equivalent of hitting the Home key. Since I’m already using USB Overdrive to program my mouse keys by application, I turned off emulation completely in CVNC. Then I added CVNC to my applications list in USB Overdrive. I set the center (wheel) mouse click to be a single “Control/Click” and set the right mouse click to be a double “Control/Click” — the same thing as double-clicking the Home button. This allows you to access whatever shortcut you have set up for the Home button in Settings/General on the iPhone. I still haven’t figured out how activate “lock screen”, which is also mentioned in the post.

Connection is great, but can’t get home key emulation to work. The post mentions “double click of the command key.” The closest thing I can find to this in CVNC is “Multi-Tap” Modifier Key “Command” Number of Taps “2″. This doesn’t seem to have any effect. Without the home key there’s no way to navigate the iPhone remotely.
