Clip2Mobile is a program that lets you wirelessly send text and files (including pdfs, video, and music) between your home computer and your iPhone/iPod touch. Now this is a dead useful thing to do, especially since Apple has gone out if its way to not implement such features.
Hey, does anyone else feel that iPhone ownership is kind of like being in a bad relationship? Apple goes crazy lavishing you with features and making you feel like you’re the bestest guy in the world when you’re seen in public together, but from out of nowhere you’ll ask for something that seems simple and/or reasonable, and they turn cold and say, “No. You can’t have that.” Why not? “If you have to ask I’m not going to tell you.”
Anyway, Clip2Mobile has two components: the iPhone app and the desktop client, which runs on the Adobe Air platform (better known as “the platform you never heard of until you decided to try Tweetdeck”). On the desktop, you can easily type or paste text into the window, hit send, and it’s off to your iPhone (once you’ve registered for free with the Clip2Mobile site).
Clip2Mobile has a few other nifty features: the iPhone client will try to autodetect phone numbers, email address, web addresses, and even physical addresses and turn them into hyperlinks. Clicking on them has the expected effect; email opens the mail application, web addresses open Safari and an address opens Maps. The autodetect works well, and this set of features alone makes Clip2Mobile a handy program for transferring text to your iPhone, rather than just sending an email. And, it’s free.
So here’s my problem; the text transfer part of the program is simple and works well., but the program doesn’t just transfer text—it transfers files and contacts, and this is where it gets screwed up. Because while you can transfer just about anything to your iPhone using Clip2Mobile, you can’t get it out of the program once you do. If you send movie, audio file, PDF, or image, those will show up in your iPhone and can you can view and/or listen to them inside the app. But you can’t save them to another location or iPhone application (like you can with an image in an email). PDFs have an interface for reading different pages, and can be zoomed, but images can’t: they must be viewed at 100% and can’t be rotated. If you transfer a file type that Clip2Mobile doesn’t recognize (like say, a Word Document), it shows up, but you can’t open it.
The last feature Clip2Mobile tries to implement is the ability to add contacts. A pop-up dialogue will ask you if you want the information to be added in your Contacts application, and that works fine. But when I clicked “no,” the information would sometimes disappear all together: I didn’t even get a copy of the note I’d sent myself.
As a text transfer tool, Clip2Mobile is not just useful, it makes it convenient to quickly send info and share it with other iPhone apps, giving it a slight edge over sending an email (and copying and pasting between apps). As a file transfer tool, the inability to move files and a clunky interface for images is a real let-down.

This app is one of my favorite apps on my iPod Touch. As a regular iPod user, i find it is necessary to back up ipod files to computer in case of damage. Here is an online guide on how to transfer files from ipod to computerm, which itunes cant do such a task.
