The Missing Dropbox iPhone App

Dropbox is one of my most frequently used, hidden tools at home, office and on the road. By hidden I mean, it's seamless and well integrated into my computing lifestyle regardless of platform or hardware. As good as Dropbox is though, in my opinion it's only weakness within my workflow is it's lack of a native iPhone application.

Before I move on, it's important to note, that Dropbox does currently have a mobile web formatted version available to the iPhone and other mobile devices. Indeed, they are also working on a true native iPhone app that will appear in the near future. Could be days or weeks, but it is coming, and promises to address all your iPhone needs and then some.

That said, I set out to mash together some ways to access and manipulate my Dropbox account from my iPhone. I came up with 2 solutions, which may help fill the void for you as well, as we wait for the official iPhone Dropbox app to arrive.

Twisted Metal Black - Archive

Back in the year 2000, I built some CG sets and props for a game called Twisted Metal Black. I had to model and texture a several items for in-game cut-scenes and trailer shots. 

They consisted of an Execution Chamber, a Padded Sanitarium Ward Room, and a Hallway leading to that room. In addition, I had to build an Iron Maiden and a banged up old weathered Shredder. Click the link below to check them all out.

Handgrip System for the iPhone

A little pricey? perhaps. A little extreme? maybe, but if you're going to shoot some video with the iphone, this would definitely improve your results. The Zgrip iPhone PRO by Zacuto, is an adjustable quick release handgrip system for shooting professional, stable video using the iPhone 3Gs. Check out the video below. The Zgrip iPhone PRO is available now for $295 , however a lower-cost consumer version is on it's way.
