[...] Silicon Florist writes about an iPhone app out of Vancouver, Washington that in less than a week of it’s release has shot to the top as the #1 free download on the iTunes App Store with over 700,000 downloads. The app, Air Sharing by Avatron Software, adds some a very glaring functionality omission from the iPhone: the ability to use it as a portable, wireless hard drive. For all the amazing capabilities of the iPhone, Apple provides no way to directly access it’s storage, or transfer generic files to or from it.

I am trying this app now but thought direct access to iPhone storage space was an Apple no no…

In light of the recent rejection of the iPhone Podcaster app by the app store, I worry about Apple’s ability to pull the plug at any time.

Take a listen to the issues here, as we interviewed both Alex S (of iPhone Podcaster) and later, Don Park (on Android):
