RIM Screwing over customers with "4.5 Media Manager" requirements!!!

And the lack of functionality in OS 4.5 concerning video playback.
It seems that the only video files that you can now view on your blackberry are those that you upload/convert via the crapass/slow/buggy/difficult "Media Manager".
Yeah, you know...that despicable program that we all hate.
If you don't believe me, try it out for yourself and post the results.
1. Try to watch a 3gp video downloaded from a site like tinytube.net or blueapple.mobi on your blackberry (save to sdcard)
2. Try to watch a 3gp or MP4 video converted from any other format by ANY other video converter other than the "Media Manager" that comes bundled with the RIM Desktop Manager.
3. Then try converting either of the files from "1" and "2" with the "Media Manager" and see if the videofile plays.
RIM has officially gone down the hated path of companies (like Apple with their stinking I-tunes) that force you to use proprietary software/hardware.
If this is the way that they're going in the future, they are going to lose customers just as the others have. What's the frickin point? This just means that now there's another stinking crapass useless program that I have to have installed JUST to do file transfers!?!?! **** NO!!!!
Pretty soon, you won't be able to put anything on the SD Card at all without their "custom software". :mad:
I have stayed away from Apple and companies that do that crap because it's just wrong! For example: Why be bastardly and make your USB connector a weird shape so that everyone that uses your product cannot use it with anything else?
:mad:
