WI-FI - Send a pic from PC to iPhone camera roll app?

MuddyPaws · 11-06-2009, 11:02 PM

Is there an app that lets you send a picture from a windows laptop to the iPhone 3GS and have it show up int he camera roll so you can email it or send it MMS?

I hate using iTunes and I really don't want to load it on my netbook while traveling.

There are lots of apps that use the iPhone is a sort of thumb frive but none of the files that you transfer to the iPhone are actually available to view on the phone.

You know the iPhone is showing up in the Windows Explorer when connecting it by USB!?

You could email it to whatever account you have linked to your phone, and then save it to the Camera Roll from the email...

Yea, trying not to have to plug it in and carry the cord.

Won't work when the laptop doesn't have a wi/fi connection.

How about that. I can copy file from the iPhone to the netbook via explorer.....

However.....

You can not copy pictures from your computer TO the iPhone camera roll via usb connection and explorer.

I think you can go online on the phone....find the pic on the web...tap and hold to copy it to the phone.

You guys do a great job at over complicating things and not reading the original posts.

To make this clear.

Lets say I take a pic with my regular camera (for quality or just because)

Then I pop my SD card into the built in reader in my net book.

I want to then transfer that pic to the iPhone so I can send it, via 3G, to Twitter or Blogger or something like that.

I would like to do it without iTunes, and preferably without the USB wire.

We are overcomplicating things...but you want to transfer a picture without internet, usb, or iTunes? I'm done with this crap. Ungrateful to boot.

Yea, pretty simple. I want to transfer a picture TO the phone.

That's all.

I don't want to find a wi/fi spot, upload it from my laptop to a service I have to sign up for and log into. Then log into it again on the iphone, download it to the iphone, then sign into the blogging account from the iphone so I can re-upload the picture.

I'm sorry if I sound ungrateful to you...but you are the moron that didn't read the post.

You said....

Please tell me how my picture magically got on the internet so I could copy it to the phone.

Especially after I said.......

Won't work when the laptop doesn't have a wi/fi connection.

when you have the pic on your computer just email yourself the picture to the email on your iphone then in the email tap the picture and click save. if youre already on the computer it will only take an extra second to send it to yourself.
