I have ideas for a number of different applications that share a general architecture: use an iPhone as a remote data-collection front end to a Mac app that does more complicated processing, or to a general purpose application such as a spreadsheet or database, or to a variety of apps that each do their own specific processing (*nix style). The core feature in all of this is a need for easy file or document transmission between the systems.
I've read the notorious Technical Note TN2152, "iPhone OS does not currently provide a direct way for third party developers to transfer data between the user's computer and their device," but I assume common workarounds are in place. Obviously I could follow the note's suggestions about rolling my own from lower level functions (or GameKit?), however I thought I should ask whether there are strategies and libraries that other people have found useful for solving similar problems.
I'm specifically not interested in web apps since the solution should work with systems that don't have a general-purpose HTTP server configured._______________________________________________
