Technology huh?
My beautiful Moto Q was developing a few quirks. Since my contract was primed for renewal, both of the phones on the contract were also ready for upgrade.
Two requirements, a smart phone and tethering on one phone. Robust music capability on the second. The second was easy. The first, not so.
I work for a government agency and one of the perks is a discount (we must maintain a phone, so there is basis for the somewhat less than generous 10%). Along with the discount the provider does limit which phones are available.
The only phone meeting both tethering and ‘smart’ was the now infamous iPhone. I am now the owner of an iPhone. Tethering is not supported!!! (It is if you crack the silly thing.)
Yesterday, after spending 3 hours trying to create folders for pictures, I discovered the silly thing cannot even do that…no, there is no app for that. (And I do not really care for iTunes. I am a visual artist. Not a musician!)
A web search found CopyTransPhoto.
Elegant, intuitive, perfect.
I cannot praise this bit of software enough. And fault Cupertino for not including similar productivity natively. (Moto Q performed this task beautifully with pc interface! You would think an iPhone using Apple based (as opposed to Windows based) intelligence would handle graphics and graphic manipulation/storage with better sense.

Anyone looking for similar solutions may want to do so now. CopyTransPhoto is priced at $29.99. Currently you can purchase a bundle which includes CopyTrans (Transfer iPod to computer and iPhone to iTunes), CopyTransPhoto (Transfer photos to iPod/iPhone and PC), iCloner (Create full backup images of your iPod/iPhone), iLibs (Manage multiple iTunes libraries) at a special offer of $50 off!!.
ok…here is the disclaimer from me….I think these programs are fantastic. I have no connection whatsoever. Your experience may differ vastly from mine.
