TUAW responds: Emailing more than one iPhone picture at a time

An anonymous TUAW reader writes: "How can I email more than one photo at a time from my iPhone?" Unfortunately, the built-in Photos app seems to disallow this. There is a workaround. If you use my SendPics application, you can send many photos at a time. SendPics is a utility I wrote that's meant to bypass the iPhone's scale-for-email behavior and send full resolution images.

To make this happen, use SendPics to send an email and then press Home. You'll leave the email program but it will remember the photo you added. Then re-launch SendPics and add another picture and repeat.

The downside is this: if you have an email signature, it will repeat for every picture you add--so you may want to edit those out once you've finished composing the email.

The anonymous reader reports that he was able to send up to 3 pictures at a time. I had no problem going higher than that but I'm running firmware 1.1.2.

Is there any feed of TUAW that doesn't include all this nonsense iPhone hacking drudgery? There are many of us who don't considering third-party unsanctioned hacks to our phones any type of "workaround", and I'm getting really sick of getting excited about what I believe is a genuine iPhone tip only to find it's yet another poorly-hacked-up app that I'm unwilling to install onto my phone.

SendPics works fine, but unfortunately only allows me to access the "Camera Roll" album when selecting a photo. It would be great to be able to mail any photo from the iPhone with SendPics.

Hi erica

this is my first time to comment, but I've been reading the blog and using some of your apps on my iPod for the last while

A few of us were discussing a "search" application for music, like the one currently available for contacts and calendar events, but seeing as none of us were developers, i was wondering if you could help us out, we are at forum on macrumors http://forums.macrumors.com/showthread.php?t=401562

we are also discussing the possibility of editing playlists from the iPod

so please erica, join us and ive us a hand :D

Is there a method for getting full res images off the iPhone that doesn't involve a hack? I didn't see a way to xfer with iTunes.

Thx!

It's interesting that if you watch the video promo that plays at the Apple Store, the movie that involves a woman writing back to her father on a mountain vacation, she sends multiple pictures. I asked an employee how it was done, and he said apple is working on it....

How do they do it in the movie, though?

I recall someone also commenting awhile back that there's a promo with sending SMS to multiple people, and I'm not quite sure if my phone can do that.

Anyone know if the movie Matt was talking about is available anywhere online? I don't have an Apple Store near me.

Does installer work yet on the 1.1.2 update. I've yet to upgrade. I'm still on 1.1.1.

I was reading this post and had an ad pop up. First time this has happened here. Is this going to continue?
