One of most enjoyable things about having an iPhone is the pure entertainment it can bring to you, no matter where you are. If you've got your iPhone with you, then you've got instant entertainment at your fingertips. Watching movies on your iPhone is always fun. It may not be the big screen, but the sharp colors and graphics on your iPhone deliver a great movie experience.
You may even find yourself watching iPhone movies in places you never associated with watching movies before your got your iPhone. For example, you show up to your doctor's appointment on time, only to find that he has been called away to an emergency and will not return for over an hour. In the past, you would walk dejectedly back to your seat in the waiting room, pick up some magazine, and shuffle through it looking for anything to occupy your mind. After all, you can't just sit there. Now all that has changed! Yes, the doctor might still be late. But now you can pull out your handy iPhone, and watch a movie. The time flies by, and before you know it the doctor is back.
Another place that gives you a chance to watch an iPhone movie is at the tire place. You come in to the tire shop to replace a tire. They give you the great news that your car will be ready in an hour and a half. What do you do? You can't leave - they have your car! And the magazine selection is even worse than at the doctor's office. Once again, it's no worries for you now, because you can while away the time enjoying a great movie on your iPhone!
Long rides on a bus, train, or subway are now pleasant, thanks to your iPhone movies. A cross-country flight seems to take no time at all when you are engrossed in watching your favorite movie on your iPhone. You can just plug in your headset, start your movie, sit back, relax, and enjoy the ride. Daily stresses float away. The other passengers no longer irritate you. It's as if they aren't even there.
You come across situations like this all the time. Now you can take advantage of them to bring enjoyment into your life. What used to be frustrating events now bring you a pleasant break.

Unofficial estimates put the number of affected DVDs at between 1 and 10%. Yet some of the main distributors for Hollywood Studios are accused of rejecting to accept the problem exists and replace defective products.
The technology, sold as a replacement for VHS, with added interactive contents, is now five years old and the DVD industry claims it is the most triumphant packaged media in consumer electronics history. The failures are a combination of corrosion - known as "DVD rot" - and delamination, where the layers of the disc separate.
Last year Australians spent $398 million buying 13.3 million DVD movie titles - a three-fold increase on the 4.3 million sold in 2001, according to research firm GFK.
Symptoms of the rot include picture break-up and freezing at a specific place on the dvd. The major cause is believed to be poorly planned cases. Delamination shows up as a coffee-like stain that inhibits the disc from playing. Among those worst affected are video movie rental stores, which buy millions of titles per year.
Rohan Byrnes, 34-year-old science fiction fanatic who owns 350 DVD movies, has spent a lot of time glaring at DVD rot. He works as a failure analysis engineer, with access to an optical microscope.
Mr Byrnes has studied five cases of DVD rot - four in his own compilation - and suspects the microscopic decay spots on the aluminium layer inside the disc could be caused by a "chemical attack", possibly linked to the glue used.
"Some stores have reported they only get two or three rentals from a DVD before it's unplayable," said Ross Walden, director of the Australian Video Retailers Association. Distributors "are washing their hands of it", he said. "Once a DVD has been rented out [distributors] will not take them back."
One DVD movie website lists 18 titles known to have at least one bad batch, among them Planet of the Apes (1968), Men in Black: Collectors Edition , Independence Day and the Alien Legacy box set.
Mr Byrnes returned his discs to the distributors, 20th Century Fox and Columbia TriStar, including his analysis, and got replacements, but other victims were not so fortunate. Peter Longworth, a DVD collector in Newcastle, had an identical problem with Planet of the Apes two years after buying it.
However, 20th Century Fox declined to replace it as it was out of the 90-day warranty.
"The company declined to accept that there was a manufacturing setback," he said. Mr Longworth wrote to the Australian Competition and Consumer Commission in November, but the movie rental watchdog does not act on consumer warranty problems.
Meanwhile, 20th Century Fox refused to comment on the subject. A spokesman said only: "We always fully compensate our customers for any manufacturing liability found." Warner Home Video's managing director, Stephen Nickerson, said: "If a customer has trouble with a disc and it is obviously a manufacturing problem we will replace it. The question is whether it is caused by a manufacturing problem or consumer abuse."
