title: Image, Audio & Video upload issues with iPhone
body: <p>I am facing some issues with the image, audio and video upload as well as downloads. So i want to ask some queries here and hoping someone will defiantly gave answers of these queries...  </p>
  
  <ol>
  <li><p>I am uploading images, which are taken with the inbuilt iphone 4G camera. We needs quality images with the maximum size. So I am not compressing images and tried to upload with there original size and its taking more then 60 seconds to upload the single image.  I am encoding image data to Base64 before uploading to server.Is this a concern?</p></li>
  <li><p>I am also recording audio &amp; video which could be anything in size. I have encoded audio/video data with Base64 encoding and then uploaded to the server. But it is also taking a lot of time to upload the audio/video. </p></li>
  </ol>
  
  <p>Please suggest me what would be best for uploading quality images and audio/video to the server with minimum time.</p>
  
  <p>I have implemented Threads,  So the UI will not be hanged while we are uploading/downloading audio/video as well as images. Base64 encoding is the reason for delay in uploads?</p>
