see that's the reason i don't like apple. but the thing is...the phone was free and had iTunes on it. i *thought* (and that's where i was wrong) that i could move the MicroSD card to my sony ericsson phone, but the phone is not recognizing the chip, so i'm stuck with the motorola SLVR phone. now i just want to be able to synch with *my* computer. i'm going to try the iDump that joan suggested. we'll see how that works when i get home.
