Bluetooth file transfer app comes to the iPhone via App Store

August 19th, 2009

A free App Store app brings to you one of the most wanted features on the iPhone / iPod touch. ‘Bluetooth Photo Share’ lets you transfer images between any two iPhone’s or iPod touch (2nd generation) using bluetooth. Currently all data sharing apps on the AppStore that lets you transfer a file between two iTouch’s requires WiFi or 3G connection, however this FREE app does the trick using Bluetooth.

The iPhone OS 3.0 allowed usage of Bluetooth for multi-player gaming, but file transfer was never discussed. One of the major downers for the iPhone in all our reviews has been the lack of Bluetooth file transfer and USB mass storage mode. Though this app does not allow you to transfer audio files or other documents, its a good feature to have at least for image sharing. If only now Apple lets it talk to other smartphones, or probably we are wishing for a little too much :)

Update: Just to clarify, we have heard of iBluetooth for Jailbroken iPhones. But the app never got the updates to accommodate many features that the developer had promised. Doubt if anyone enjoys that and nevertheless Bluetooth Photo Share is official!
