Pastebot, the little iPhone copy & paste bot that can, has a fantastic track record so far. Developer Tapbots released the app earlier this month and the UI blew me away, but I was just ever so slightly disappointed by the lack of easy photo syncing. Then, just a few days later, they released an update to their Pastebot Sync OSX utility that made it unbelievably easy to transfer pictures from iPhone to Mac, or vice versa. It was almost as if they were copying and pasting right from my mind.
I’ve been using the app more and more over the holidays to throw things back and forth — sometimes just for fun and the cool mechanical sound effects, and sometimes because I’ve forgotten that Pastebot is still loaded and I end up adding things to the iPhone by accident — and one thing that became quickly apparent was that Pastebot had a bug concerning the saving of pictures to the camera roll. You had to save two or three times sometimes to make sure the picture was actually saved to the iPhone, but this latest 1.0.5 update seems to fix that.
There are also other bug fixes (see screenshot above) and the ability to toggle sound effects off (why would you do that?!), but my main point is this: Tapbots seem to be reading my mind. I’ll probably be angry at them later on for invading my privacy, but for now I’m just too pleased with the fact that they keep fixing little things just as I start finding them annoying.
