Beta Beat: DropCopy for iPhone
Eric Redlinger of 10base-t dropped me a note to let me know that DropCopy for iPhone now has a stable beta release. DropCopy is a Mac-based utility that allows you to copy files from one machine to another by dropping them onto a sharing window. The iPhone beta extends that functionality to support phone-to-phone, phone-to-mac, and mac-to-phone file transfers. You can download a copy of the beta here (download link). I'm really looking forward to giving this a try. Good work, 10base-t guys!

This looks good. In near future I think this generous who made this will add Bluetooth to this. For other mobiles and stuff

The only problem I had was sending a photo from my Mac->iPhone and having the iPhone view it. I used Mobile Finder to rename and move the file to the DCM folder. But when I view it, the phone resets.
Correction: It didn't work because I didn't read everything. You have to have DropCopy running on both the iPhone/iPod and your Mac.

When I launch the application, I get an empty screen. After half a minute or so, the Springboard comes back.
Works for me..I'm on 1.1.1
Looks like Pics,Tunes and Docs transfers are still under construction, but I can transfer apps to my Mac.
