Read about TUAW giving away 15 copies of this little app, and after reading more about it over at Tapbots page, I didn’t want to wait to see if I’d be a winer at $2.99 this little app is a bargain and would have gladly paid more. I use this app daily and I’ve only had it a few days, but I predict it to become the most used app on my iPhone.

Simply copy something form any app on your phone using the native copy function, then launch Pastebot and it will be automatically imported. Pastebot will keep the last 99 items imported but if you want to make sure it something sticks around longer than that you can move it into another folder where it can be kept until you delete it. Want to copy something for use elsewhere? simply tap it, close Pastebot and launch any app and paste away.

Your also able to apply various filters to the content, they have some simple images filters such as Adjusting the image brightness, converting to Black and White etc. If your not working with an image but Text you can convert to upper, lower, and even encode/decode HTML Entities, wrap the text in HTML tags, or even apply a search and replace to the text.

Official Features List

  • Save, organize, and edit text & image clippings with ease.
  • Search capabilities and folders for organization.
  • Apply text & image filters like “find & replace” on text or convert an image to black & white. 14 filters total with more on the way.
  • Create new text clippings within the app.
  • Create a new image clipping from your iPhone camera or import from your photo library.
  • Useful metadata like image dimensions, character/word count and creation date.
  • Copy items back to the iPhone/iPod clipboard with 1 tap.
  • Send clippings as emails within the app or save images back to your photo library.

Looks like apple finally got around to upgrading the Apple TV to support there new found LP format. And in addition to that left a bug in the system that will cause your content to randomly disappear.

But theres a fix if you have not done so already upgrade again to 3.0.1, Apple’s official method for accomplishing this (sent to me via email):

1. Reboot your Apple TV (unplug the power cord and plug it back in)
2. Select Settings > General from the main menu
3. Select Update Software
4. Select Download and Install

I’ve not had the time to thoroughly explore the new updates but what I have seen so far it appears to be a strictly visual update.
