• Downloaded/Ripped movie in AVI, FLV, WebM, MTS, WMV, MPG etc. must be converted to iPhone playable format in advance, MP4 or MOV.
• Photos can only be synced to iPhone in folder(s), which means personalized selection is infeasible.
• Some iTunes unacceptable files must be dragged to a folder for putting into an app folder to sync to iPhone app. (But the app must be able to read the files. If not, this behavior makes no sense. Much inconvenient!)
