Good concept but but doesn't work well at all.</p> Gave this a try, the file transfer rate is extremely slow and the desktop program keeps freezing and going unresponsive.

It worked fine at first. I connected easily, and transferred several files. Then something strange happened. A newly charged iPhone got down to 10% battery overnight. First time ever. Also, I could no longer connect to the desktop app to transfer. My computer would pop up on the iPhone and ask to connect, but it would never connect...tried everything. Also, better still draining at alarming rate. Deleted app. Battery problem went away.</p> I gave this a try yesterday. It worked fine at first. I connected easily, and transferred several files.

Wifi is fine for the laptop but my tower does not have wifi.</p> I would love to see this compared to the air sharing app. The only real difference I can see is that file magic has a desktop app. It would be great for either app to work via USB.

You have to download the desktop app to their PC?</p> This may be partly due to my experience as a technical support rep for an iPhone software company, but I foresee lots of Bonjour-related connection problems with this thing.
