Moving email from the iPhone to Outlook, no can do?
Sitting here writing this on the plane to Sacramento. I have a presentation that I am giving tomorrow that was mailed to me this afternoon. It is on my iPhone and I would like to work on it on my computer on the plane. If I had a windows mobile phone (like I used to) that would be no problem. When I did an active sync, my mail would sync as well. Also, I could access all of the files on my windows mobile phone and convert and move them over to my laptop. However, not that I have a fancy iPhone, no can do. I could be working on the 4 hour trip on my presentation for tomorrow. BUT NO! I am blogging my frustrations, while that file I need is trapped on my iPhone with Apple's magic holding the key. I am sure there is some application I could buy or download that would allow me to unlock this file and move it over, but I can't get it while in the air. So instead I will just keep blogging.
I expected more around integration with Exchange and Outlook from Apple. They need to do a better job before Microsoft starts running commercials where Bill Gates is a windows mobile phone and Jerry Seinfeld is an iPhone. Than Bill can really have something to shake about.
Authors note: Thanks to a suggestion from a reader I found an app called air sharing which allows you to mount the iPhone as a drive on a windows machine. That seems to solve that one!
