You do not seem to realize that you are contradicting yourself. WE ARE the community that is trying to ditching the laptop and start using our mobile devices as replacements. We are doing REAL WORK on our mobile devices and thus we have HIGHER requirements from the operating system than the iOS boys, which are mostly happy with throwing birds from a slingshot onto pigs.

This is one of the reasons we CANNOT really even think about using the iPhone in a daily fashion.

YOU are the one who is refusing to acknowledge this. You will keep on depending on a computer, while we will eventually not as soon as the prices for "phone docks" get low enough.

More trolling by our friend here. Have you even done the Google search yourself? Comparing iFile to MC is LAUGHABLE, considering that people TO THIS DAY still consider Windows Explorer not comparable to MC.

And having aircrack-ng, etc. on the iPhone is quite useless because the iPhone does not support monitor mode which is virtually essential for this kind of tools. And the iPhone might never get monitor mode or USB host.

But as I said, you might be able to plug one Wi-Fi sniffer to the propietary peripheral port. But I am not going to consider that as a "solution" because you might as well say that you can plug a full PC to the iPhone.
