Apple’s MobileMe News has posted a helpful entry on using MobileMe’s iDisk for easier file transfer for the just-updated iWork apps for iPad.

With the latest Keynote, Pages and Numbers for iPad, you can now transfer your documents directly to and from your MobileMe iDisk so you can work on them anywhere you have an Internet connection. For example, create a new Pages document on your iPad and copy it directly to your iDisk. Then, when you are back at your Mac, open the document from iDisk and continue editing right where you left off.

If you’re working from a Windows PC, access your iDisk with a browser at me.com/idisk and upload an existing Microsoft Office document. Copy the document into Keynote, Pages or Numbers on your iPad to view it or make edits. When you’ve finished working on the document, copy it back to your iDisk as either an iWork, Microsoft Office or PDF file.

It will also work with WebDAV. Would that it would work with Box.net, DropBox, and GoogleDocs…

Again it looks like the iPhone is finally getting in iPhone OS 4 what the iPad got in 3.2 with the file/document transfer feature now exposed in iTunes sync.

While the iPad version identifies document-friendly apps (like Apple’s own Keynote, Numbers, and Pages) and lets you find and sync over files, the iPhone OS 4 beta 3 version currently only shows Mail and doesn’t really let you do much. However, it stands to reason this will at least reach feature parity with the iPad when Apple releases iPhone OS 4 to the public later this summer.

Now all we need is an elegant way to share and wirelessly sync those documents across multiple devices and users. MobileMe 2.0, souped up iWork.com 2.0, where are you?

TiPb received a note from Andy at Polaroid concerning a campaign they’re starting encouraging iPhone users to file a feature request with Apple for Bluetooth file transfer access. Polaroid wants this for their Pogo Instant Mobile Printer, but TiPb thinks it’s a grand idea for better Bluetooth access of all sorts.

I’m pretty sure we don’t have stereo Bluetooth (A2DP) because, well, it’s not very good quality and Apple doesn’t do “not very good quality” (outside of MobileMe launches, mice, and corporate printer support, of course), but how about letting that gorgeous Apple Bluetooth Keyboard (or any Bluetooth Keyboard) hook up with the iPhone?

There’s a full range of Bluetooth functionality we haven’t gotten on the iPhone yet. Sure, engineering talent is limited and Apple no doubt has a list of priorities based on maximum results for minimum dev time, but even Apple’s been known to re-prioritize based on customer feedback, so if this is something you want, let Apple know! (Just don’t ask for copy/cut and paste, MMS, video recording, Push Notification, and everything else at the same time, b’okay?)
