Air Sharing - File Sharing For Your iPhone

Featured Software iPhone iPod

If you have an iPhone (or iPod Touch) with 2.0 firmware, and wish you could use some of your iPhone’s free space to store a few documents.. consider your wish granted. Air Sharing, from Avatron Software, is an application you install on your iPhone (or Touch) and turns it into a WebDAV server. If you don’t know what that means, I’ll give it to you in english. Your iPhone is now a wireless flash drive :)

From your Mac, PC or Linux box, you connect to your iPhone the same way you connect to a file server. For Mac users, this is the Finder’s ‘Connect to Server’ under the Go menu. Enter your iPhone’s IP or Bonjour (network friendly) name and your iPhone will appear in the Finder’s sidebar, along with any other devices on your local net. The rest works just like you’d expect.. drag, drop, rename, open documents right on your phone.

Air Sharing supports documents from iWork, Microsoft Office, PDF, RTF, Plain text, Source code, Movies, Audio and Images. See the Avatron site for exactly which fomats are supported. An integrated help file will walk you through how to set up your Mac or PC to work with Air Sharing, and will explain all of the options.

Avatron is offering this fantastic utility for free until September 19, after which time it will cost you $6.99. You can get Air Sharing at the iTunes App Store.

    Ars Technica has long been one of the most comprehensive and respected sources for Mac news/analysis.

    Daring Fireball when John Gruber has something to say, most of the Mac world stops and listens.. attentively. No joke.

    AFP548 Mac OS X Server administration. Not the most lickable site, but their forums are a freaking gold mine.

    Make Mac Work administration and implementation of Mac systems in corporate environments. Superb content.

    Engadget has tech news and reviews for probably every freaking electronic product you've ever heard of.

    Lynda.com online, self-paced video training for pretty much everything (459 courses, 30K videos)

    iLounge is the most significant iPod and iPhone (and accessory) site there is. Dizzying number of reviews..

    Paul Stamatiou a wealth of comprehensive and thoughtful Mac commentary. Very smart kid.. keep your eye on him.

    Tech Crunch a bit sensationalist.. but still have their finger on the pulse of the tech industry
