One thing the iPhone does not currently let you do natively is use it for file storage. Thank goodness for iPhone Drive which is a decent solution whether you need to copy files to or from your iPhone. Transferring files is pretty straight forward. The only drawback is it won’t give you full access to the entire file system. The application offers a familiar Mac OS X look and feel.
File storage on iPhone
Well, there are quite few of them who have regretted the fact that you can’t use the iPhone as the storage device. It’s absolutely wrong; iPhone can be used as a storage device if you have a Mac. The means to that minor miracle is Ecamm Network’s $10 iPhone Drive. It is a small utility that displays the free storage area of your iPhone much like a Finder window in the column view. You can add the files to the iPhone either by clicking the copy button or by dragging a file or a folder into the iPhone Drive window. To copy items from the iPhone, simply drag them from the iPhone Drive window to a location on your Mac or choose them and go the Copy from iPhone button. You can also delete items by selecting them and clicking the Delete icon at the top of the iPhone Drive window.
IPhone Drive isn’t the perfect sneaker-net solution considering you’ll need to have a copy of the program on any Mac connected to your iPhone. But for someone who’s been looking for some way to use the iPhone for storage, it’s a heck of a good start.
It looks like Apple has released a new iPhone 3.1.3 update for iPhone, iPhone 3G, and iPhone 3GS users.
Google will be releasing their Nexus One aka Google phone today. Will Nexus One be an iPhone killer? The answer is no.
No, the falling Apple logo on the Google hompage doesn't have anything to do with Apple Inc. It is there to celebrate the birthday of Sir Isaac Newton.
As I was browsing Google today I noticed a new logo which Google created to honor Sir Isaac Newton.
For me, the best free iPhone app in the Apple App Store would have to be the Dragon Dictation iPhone app. The Dragon Dictation iPhone app allows you to speak in to your iPhone and have your speech converted to text.
Google is working on a new phone, and it’s called the Nexus One. No, Nexus One is not a code name, it’s the real name of the phone that you see in the picture above.
When the holiday season rolls around, people that rarely have a beverage start throwing down the spiked eggnog like it is water.
The much anticipated debut of the iPhone in South Korea finally took place on Saturday and it was a huge hit.
As has been said here and many other places, one can only imagine that Apple was ready to do battle with the Droid and that they were merely waiting for the release of their competitions top product before finalizing their latest version.
