Your iPhone, iPod touch or iPad is a great way to take files with you. There's just one problem. Transferring files to your iOS device isn't always convenient. Connecting the device to your computer to transfer the files can take a while. You might not have time to wait.

Fortunately, you don't have to sit through this time-consuming process. Instead, download an app to make things a bit easier on yourself.

FileMagnet ($5)  is an app for the iPad, iPhone and iPod touch. It lets you transfer a wide range of files wirelessly to your iOS device. It requires a small, free program on your desktop computer. This program is available for both Windows and Mac machines.

Once you have the software installed, you can transfer files without a long wait. And the app will let you view iWork documents, Office documents, PDFs, RTF files, and more.

Of course, FileMagnet also makes it easy to get the documents off your phone. You can simply email your documents as attachments. Incidentally, FileMagnet also lets you save documents sent via email. You can also password protect your files to keep out prying eyes!
