Transfer Photos from your iPhone to your iPad with Photo Transfer App
Friday, May 28, 2010 at 10:00AM | Glyn Evans You may have seen me preview of Photo Transfer App for the iPhone back at the beginning of April, and although I did not actually review the app, I did post videos on the app in use, and gave it a 5 star rating. Well the good news is, this app was recently updated and now supports the iPad, so you can now transfer your photos from your iPhone to your iPad across a wireless network quickly and easily.
My iPad should be arriving any day soon, and this will be one of the first apps I plan on reviewing, but until then check out the video below.

Just tried it to transfer pics from a iPhone 3gs to my iPad wifi model. No problems, very slick and easy! Thanks for the heads up on this app!
Do you need to purchase 2 copies of Transfer Photos or one copy from iTunes can be installed on both iPhone and iPad?
Thanks
@ZoomZoom, Just buy it once and install on your iPhone and iPad.
If the iPad has no camera, why do you dedicate so much space to iPad apps?
Your site is titled IPHONEography and I check it daily because I am interested in iPhone apps (especially photography apps) and news. Lately I find mostly iPad news and apps. Please stick to your original focus on iPhone apps and news and maybe start a new and separate blog for iPad news.
@Jorge. Thanks for your comments which I have taken on board.
The reason I am covering the iPad here, is that many iPhoneographers will probably now or in the future own an iPad, and many of the iPhone app developers are harnessing the extra screen real-estate and power of the iPad, and releasing iPad versions of their iPhone apps.
Also if past events are anything to go by, the release of the new iPhone and OS 4 will leave many iPhone apps broken, and so many iPhoneographers may turn to their iPad's and these apps to fill in the gap.
It is for these reasons I will be covering iPad apps etc, although I will limit most of these posts to weekends so as not to upset too many of you, my readers.
For those of you reading this comment, please let me know what you think.
I agree with Jorge to the extent that, for a while, this blog was turning into an iPadography site. This didn't bother me too much as this is your blog and who am I to tell you what to write about, you know? It just made the site less useful to me. As long as both the iPad and iPhone are covered equally though, I don't see any harm in covering both. I do plan to get an iPad eventually and I think these reviews are helpful.
first of all I DISAGREE with Jorge. Please ADD to your coverage of iPad apps. Don't worry about offending me...as it turns out my computer scrolls very well. I can just breeze on bye whatever i don't want to read.
I have PhotoTransfer on my iPhone and e-mailed the developer, Enrique Rodriguez when i purchased the iPad. In almost no time at all he answered that the iPad version was recently approved. It works swimmingly. This is one easy to use transfer app, does exactly what it advertises and is quite fast as well. Also Enrique is very helpful.
Back to the iPad. Although I at first didn't understand why I would want an iPad, after manipulating images with it I can't imagine being without it. I am always uploading images to my iMac to see how they look "just a bit larger." Then of course I need to estimate the desired corrections and upload another copy...and so on. The iPad changes that. Also it is a marvelous display device.
And another thing, I find the Apps to be just about the most innovative and exciting addition to photography in a long long time. I really love to transfer my film images to my iPhone so I can take advantage of the apps. The problem is that I need to seriously downsize them. The iPad seems to handle much larger files, this is better for me.

Thank you Glyn for your response!
iThink that adding attention to iPad is just another way of expressing the freedom that we all recognized while using iPhone. Maybe our main focus can stay on iPhone, but how not to include iPad that will so many times interact with each other. iCan make photos on my iPhone, but why to be limited to edit them only on the iPhone itself and not on its bigger sibling as well? Lets enjoy these exciting times. The quantity and different devices will not destroy the creativity. Moreover, the best of the best would surface and distinguish themselves from mediocracy.
I agree with Jorge. I stopped reading the New York Times because it had all this news about other states, even international news! Hello, its called the _New York_ Times! Plus, it didn't even tell me the current time, just the current day and even then it was correct only if I happened to look at it the same day it was published.
@Jon Betts. I read your comment above, which reads as if you dislike the iPad coverage that Glyn is giving us, and then spotted you asking about iPad apps in the forum, which left me a confused.
@Jim - Sorry for the confusion. I figured my response was absurd enough to not be taken seriously. I guess thanks are in order for giving me the benefit of the doubt ;-). Absolutely disagree with Jorge's position that because this blog is called IPHONEography that it should not include IPad related info. It is the same OS for the most part and has many, many advantages to those of us that take advantage of iPhone OS' photo manipulation capabilities.
Hello,
Just wanted to say a quick thank you for the recommendation of the Photo Transfer App. I found your blog by googling "iPhone to Ipad photo transfer".
As a serious iPhone photography enthusiast, it was a delight to find your blog and all the info, comments and links to products. I'll check in regularly from now on and hopefully have something to contribute in the future. Keep up the great work!
Cheers!

A short description of my compulsion (I hope the length of the post doesn't violate any blog etiquette):
--iPhone 3GS/iPad 32gb Wifi- both Jailbroken
--Verizon MiFi
--iPhone with MyWi JBreak app (for tethering to iPad and also makes iPhone a wireless hotspot)
--iPad with BTStack GPS (to connect external GPS devices- works great with most mapping apps)
-Favorite iPhone photo/video apps- Hipstamatic, Photogene, Lo-Mob, Photo Forge ReelDirector, Wireless camera (makes iPhone a camera for iPad), 3D Gallery (gimmicky, but fun), Snappy (jailbreak app for instant camera launch in any window), Flicket
-Favorite iPad photo/video apps- Photogene, Filterstorm, PhotoPad, ReelDirector, AirVideo (stream movies from PC from anywhere), AirDisplay (tiurns iPad into a wirless 2nd monitor, great for palettes and toolbars) and now Photo Transfer!
You can transfer full res pictures to your desktop or DropBox account for free using the DropBox app.
