These are instructions on how to install and use iBlueNova, an application which enables bluetooth file transfer on the iPhone.
iBlueNova is for iPhone OS 3.x devices only. If you have an iPhone running OS 2.x you can use iBluetooth.
Step One Press to launch Cydia from your iPhone Springboard.
Step Two Press the the Sections tab at the bottom of the screen.
Step Three Press to select System from the list of Sections.
Step Four Press to select iBlueNova from the list of Packages.
Step Five If you would like to purchase iBlueNova immediately then press the Purchase Package button. If you have already purchased iBluetooth in the past or if you would like a 15 day trial of iBlueNova press the Purchase button at the top right of the screen.
Step Six Press the Confirm button to begin installation
Step Seven Once the installation has completed successfully press the large Return to Cydia button.
Step Eight Press the Home button to return to the Springboard then press to launch iBlueNova.
Step Nine Once iBlueNova launches you will see two switches at the top of the screen. Move both switches to the ON position to enable iBlueNova and make your iPhone visible over bluetooth.
Step Ten Using the File Manager we can send Pictures, Music, Videos, and Other Files to other devices over Bluetooth.
Press to select Pictures from the main menu. Press to select an album then tap to choose a photo you would like to send. Press the Send icon at the bottom of the screen. You will be asked to select a device. Do so or if you device is not in the list make sure its visible and press the Refresh button at the top right of the screen. Once you have selected a device iBlueNova will initiate the transfer showing a status bar until the transfer is complete.
You can follow a similar procedure for Music, Videos, and Other Files.
Step Eleven If you are performing multiple transfers at once you can press Transfers frmo the main menu to view their statuses.
Step Twelve If you have a device you frequency connect to then you may want to save it as a favorite. Press to select Device discovery from the main menu.
Press the Refresh button to locate nearby devices then press the star next to the device name to make it a favorite.
Step Thirteen iBlueNova provides some settings which can be configured by tapping Settings from the main menu.
Here you can change the name of your device as well as enabling auto search, vibrate, and re-enable on close.
You can also enable pin authentication and set a pin for the connection.
Under the Images heading you can set iBlueNova to send images in the JPEG file format instead of PNG. You can also choose to save incoming images in your library.
Finally under the Save Paths heading you can set the directory which incoming files will be saved in.

Too bad it no longer works. IBluenova will not been updated to work with current iPhone versions so you would either be stuck with an outdated phone or no Pogo printing with the iPhone.
Sad when technology takes 3 steps back. :(
hi i m using the ibluetooth for iphone 3gs but m facing some problem previos i when i click the picture from the camera from it was save in the libary now by mistake i change the path of now when i m receving any image i cant c in my photos can any one help me how to do the deafault setting for the ibluetooth pls reply me . m fed up of this
I use this quiet a lot and it is very good. Except for one bug. I turned on the 'Save in Library' option for sending pictures and sent one to my iPod. When i loaded up with Photos it said that there was a new picture (ie. was 90 now 91) but when i go into the folder the picture is not there. This means that my screenshots no longer save, and i cant save pictures from safari. Does any one know how to fix this?
I got iBlueNova as a demo and it worked 100% the first time. I transferred a 3MB photo from the iphone to a Nokia phone and then back. No glitches or trouble. Now, I'll buy it.
Guess there's no substitue for read ing the instructions :)
Further to my February 2010 post, the author of this program has not updated v2.0.1 to be compatible with iOS4. My IBlueNova worked just fine with iOS3.1.2 but since upgrading to 4, it's useless. I have written to the author several times without response. I guess it's just another rip-off! Once they get your money, they don't care.
i've tried it with some cell phones it is working great i've transferred a 4.4 mb image with success, but i couldn't transfer any to a Mac although from this Mac i received a file.
[ups, misclicked, please delete my identical reply in "forest wrote at 2010-02-15 19:42:11"]
I also had a connection error until I detected that SB Settings has killed Bluetooth:
I had turned BT on with SB Settings, but in the main preference pane it was still off, even "unavailable".
After deleting SB Settings, the transfer iPhone -> Mac was a breeze. Haven't figured out though, how to get files from Mac to iPhone.

I got the opposite from you, I can bluetooth my photos from my mac smoothly, but it always failed when I am sending back photos to my mac.
I kicked sbsettings out, even restore and jailbreaked, it just not working.
