AirBlue Sharing is a tweak recently released in Cydia that allows iDevice owners to share files with any mobile phone equipped with a Bluetooth chip. AirBlue Sharing offers functionality similar to that offered by Celeste, iBluetooth(iOS 3) or iBlueNova(iOS 4) and the video clips in this article demonstrate this. By means of this tweak you can send files via Bluetooth without much effort and the list of compatible terminals is practically unlimited, but you have to expect that sometimes errors will appear in the process of sending/receiving files.
Here are the main functions of AirBlue Sharing:
Bluetooth OBEX File Sharing for your iOS devices.
Features:
- Zero configuration
- Native Bluetooth pairing, do not have to re-pair your device when using iOS native Bluetooth
- High speed Bluetooth transmission, up to 1.7 MB/s
- Automatically shutdown Bluetooth when transmission done to save power
- Transfer files over WiFi connection, it's possible to transfer a video file in a few seconds (iOS to iOS)
- Automatically create a WiFi hotspot for transmission when no WiFi available (iOS to iOS, large file)
- Send from Notes/Photos/Videos/Music/Contacts/Voice Memos...
- Send any file from applications support "Open in ..."
- Import received files to Contacts/Photos
- Import received files to applications support "Open in ..."
- Send/receive multiple files simultaneously
- Sent/received notification sounds
- Compatible with Mac OS X, Windows XP/Vista/7, Linux, Nokia, Android, Blackberry and other Bluetooth enabled phones
Unlike Celeste, AirBlue Sharing offers a generous list of functions, but it is not integrated in any application, but it comes with the option to transfer files even via Wi-Fi or to make a Wi-Fi HotSpot directly from your terminal. Unfortunately, the application does not allow the sharing of iOS applications, but music, photos, documents, contacts, etc., can be shared without any problem. AirBlue Sharing theoretically works on any iDevice with iOS 4.2 – iOS 5 and is available in Cydia for $4.99 in the BigBoss repo.
