We’ve started working on the next version of DropCopy for iPhone and are happy to say that iPhone DropCopy users can expect to be able to share clipboards back and forth between mac and iPhone as soon as the 3.0 firmware arrives this summer! In addition, you’ll be able to take advantage of the new adhoc networking in firmware 3.0 to swap files between phones even without a wifi network.

In fact, there are so many synergies between what we would like to achieve with DropCopy on mobile devices and what Apple is creating with the next iPhone that it feels almost as if Apple asked us here at 10base-t what features we would like to see in their next iPhone revision and then went and implemented them all!

DropCopy is now at version 1.5.3 - most of you will be alerted and asked if you would like to update automatically the next time DropCopy is launched. This is a maintenance update, fixing a few bugs that affected individual users with special network situations. In general, however, this version is more reliable at finding and connecting to other DropCopy users across a wider range of network configurations than previous versions, and is a recommended update for all users.

DropCopy is now at version 1.5.2 and IP Scanner has been updated to 2.33.
Both are available for download now. Get ‘em while they’re hot!

PS: If you are a user of mobile DropCopy on the iPhone, we definitely encourage you to upgrade your desktop version to this latest version - you’ll get support for sending iWork files (with previews) and sending entire folders of files.  Note - with great power comes great responsibility: large numbers of files in DropCopy mobile will slow down your iPhone syncing with iTunes, as it will try to backup all of your DropCopy data as well.

Like many others, we’ve had our share of false starts when submitting new apps to the ’store. While the reasons given have generally been understandable, they do set your product launch back by weeks or more.

In light of the lack of public criteria for acceptance into the iTunes App Store, we’ll start compiling a list of known rejection criteria in our developer area (starting with the ones we ourselves have received). Please add yours in the comments and we’ll migrate them into the main list.
