App Update – FileMagic

I was impressed with FileMagic, the SplashData application that allows you to transfer files from your Mac or PC to your iPhone or iPod Touch and back again, when I looked at the initial release a bit back. 

 In my review I noted-

The user interface is as nice as I have seen. On the iPhone/iPod Touch the files are sorted based upon type. There’s an area for documents, one for music, one for video, one for images, one for e-mail, one for "others" (the dangerous black hole of "miscellaneous") and an area for folders that you have transferred. That’s right, the application makes it simple to transform both individual files and entire folders. What I particularly like is that these areas are easily distinguishable one from the other and are large enough to be "finger friendly". If you want to grab images that you transferred it simple to do so with a thumb. The graphical interface for the server looks similar and provides an easy area into which you can drag files or folders you want to transfer. That’s right, the application is able to easily handle drag and drop file movement.

I especially liked the feature that lets you create an e-mail on your notebook, transfer that e-mail to your iPhone and then send it from therefor those times when a WiFi connection is not available for your notebook.

Now word comes that SplashData has launched version 2.0 of File Magic for iPhone.

The new version lets you "beam" files wirelessly between iPhone devices. You can also email files as attachments from File Magic on the device. Finally, in the new version the company has tightened up security with a password option to protect File Magic access.
