Automator iPhone: controlling your Mac with Mail rules
We've already mentioned Telekinesis, the cool app that allows you to control your Mac remotely via iPhone Safari. Now the folks over at Automator.us have put together a package of Mail scripts that gives you remote access to documents on your Mac via Mail.app. Basically, it works just by sending emails to your home computer with various commands. So for instance you can save iPhone photos to iPhoto or post them on an iWeb blog. You can get directory listings from your Mac sent back to you and even request particular files be sent back as attachments. Needless to say this raises some security questions. These rules only work on messages from one particular email address and that include a security code, though that's hardly airtight. Nonetheless, if you want a simple way of retrieving files from your Mac onto your iPhone, the iPhone Mail Rules may be worth a look.
