2 Questions

Just wondering if anyone knows what would be the best app for downloading and viewing pdf files and txt files? I downloaded one already for a dollar but it didn't work very well. I think it was called awesome files.

As for my second question, Is there an app that lets you play videos like avi from the web browser? I know the iPhone plays youtube videos, not sure what other kinds though.

I'm new to the whole iPhone thing so I'm still getting use too it. Any help would be appreciated.

1. GoodReader is probably the best reader based on what you want, $4.99 from the App Store.

2. There is no app that supports this, there used to be VLC Player, but it was removed from the App Store.

I would have to say that "2 Questions" should go on the list of worst possible thread titles of all time.
Right up there with;
"Check this out"
"I can't Believe it" and
"Hey"

Seriously Devon , If you want answers , and you want people to see them, put your abbreviated question in the title.
ex Need Apps for PDF's and playing video.

While Bobsax was a little DIRECT, he makes a good point and provided an example. There is a LOT of people here to help you, but I get the posts via RSS feed. I only see the subject line, and if it's something I can comment on, I will open the post. If the subject is too vague, I don't even read it.

Bobsax is just trying to help you for future help.

that may be the case but there is no reason to be so rude about it, I was merely looking for advice. I didn't ask to be scolded at lol

Okay, I guess you really are NEW to this. That was FAR from being rude. Just wait until participate on forums other than Apple, you will learn what RUDE really is.

First, you have to be a little thick skinned in the world of online forums. If you let that little comment get to you, you will not last long.

Second, don't post a reply like that. If they were posting to just get under your skin, then your reply pretty much made their day.

Welcome to Appl Forums though. My comments are really only aimed to help you. You will find a wealth of useful info and help here. Sometimes you just have to read between the lines.
