I wouldn't expect there to be. Apple won't accept competitors to their own official apps from anyone. If Google can't get their apps into the App Store, the average guy on the street stands no chance - even if they abducted Steve Jobs and held him to ransom.

It's probably because people seldom send "group" messages so it's a function that hasn't been introduced. I can't see it being that popular either though.

It's more than sending group messages though. A group can have a different ringtone, notifications and so on. Whilst I wouldn't send a group message I think not being able to set a ringtone for a group (ie, for my family) is a bit of a glaring omission.

Just like people seldom use 3g, or copy/paste, or bluetooth file transfer?
No, what's happened here is that the people in charge of the iPhones development perceive this to be the case.....hence the ommissions.

How on earth do I send teh Iphone an excel document? there's sync films, photos, music etc but no files.

Burble · 04-03-2010, 14:24

Email it, or use an app. I've used FileAid in the past, does the job well.

Glaucus · 04-03-2010, 14:42

Thank yo so much, not only can it transfer the files it can view opencalc files and show it properly.

I use dropbox along with the dropbox iPhone app. Works pretty well just for viewing files and things
