Easy. Dropbox.   

Install, select all to upload to a folder. Done. Then just install on PC & iPhone to sync everywhere

Must agree here .. dropbox is exceedingly simple to use, and is very effective

I know Jobsy didn't let you bluetooth to other devices that weren't made by his mob, but I didn't know he wouldn't let you to Bluetooth to another Apple device as well.
If that is the case, there doesn'tseem to a be alot of point in having BT functionality to start with IMO.

Anyway, what's stopping you uploading them to your PC and then putting them on her phone that way?

yes I had not thought of that as an option ...but my point really is, coming from Symbian, that functionality isn't available, it's a backward step. As with a Symbian device, it's a non event really, so easy to do.

How does Android deal with this..?

Except you won't ever see another Symbian device. Nokia/Accenture have officially pulled the plug on it last week.

I used to use dropbox, but gave up with the useless piece of shit when the useless retards dished out my email address and password to anyone who wanted it. Not once (that would just be careless) or twice (that was beyond annoying), but 3 times (unbelievable).

I must say, one of the advantages of fibre based broadband packages is the fact that online storage is far more feasible. The downside is the likes of Dropbox are so desperately insecure, so you worry about using them.  I'm a good boy, and use different passwords for each service, so I'm fairly immune from serious fraud, but still prone to mogrels changing my files to link to their porn sites

But try not to use it for hosting avatars, its too slow, which makes forum jumping a pain.

Don't worry .. I won't use dropbox for my avatar ... already upset you enough by using imageshack !!

Photobucket is an image hosting service, not really the same thing as Dropbox and other online storage providers.

Currently, Photobucket remains my favourite for getting iPhone pics onto the forum.  As of yet, they haven't given away my details, AFAIK, and the image hosting is pretty quick. And the IOS app, while clunky, works well enough.

Any pics I post from my PC is from a standard web hosting account, rather than online storage like Dropbox.

iExplorer on a computer connected by cable...   (an app for deep level mucking about with iOs device memory....   which has benign uses as well.... )



or


any one of the number of memory stick emulation apps ,   again, plug it in to the computer,  and shift across enmasse

snapbucket ,  the photobucket app is also pretty handy at this crap.  uploading it to a shared photo bucket....

also,  if you have an icloud account you can share your photo stream,

How does Android deal with this..?

I have got my Galaxy S2 paired using bluetooth with my Linux laptop.
For individual photos I select "send to paired device" & the photos appear in my "shared" folder on the laptop.
For multiple downloads it is quicker to access the phone as a mass storage device using the file manager on the laptop.
I imagine that lesserother operating systems should be able to do something similar.......

ES File Explorer will let you transfer the entire contents of the phone (including the system if you are rooted) over BT, FTP, LAN, etc.

It will also let you access the hard disk of any PC on your network as well.

It's much easier on Android, as photos just stored on SD card. So just copy & paste really
