HOT! Wi-Fi File Transfer: Wirelessly Copy Files to and from Your BlackBerry
NOTE: This is currently only available for the Bold but other Wi-Fi BlackBerry support is coming soon!
Gideon let me know about a new app they have just developed. The app is called Wi-Fi File Transfer and is a great solution that I am surprised nobody thought of before. It simply lets you browse your BlackBerrys file system over Wi-Fi and copy, paste, add, remove and rename files back and forth just using your computers browser. This essentially means you do not need media manager and desktop manager just to copy a new MP3. I am not sure about the security but the idea is pretty slick! This combined with a assigned static DHCP address could give you easy access to your device when you are home.
They do have a free lite version but I am not sure what features it is missing. Right now the full version is going for $9.99 which is not bad considering other apps in the category.
From the description:
Wi-Fi File Transfer for BlackBerry allows the transfer of files from a PC or Mac directly to your BlackBerry over Wi-Fi using your browser. No need for Desktop Manager, Media Manager, USB drivers or any other 3rd party applications: Just a BlackBerry Bold, PC/Mac with browser and a Wi-Fi network.
