Alas this doesn't work as well as one might hope, because it is
impossible to copy the case using Safari on the iPhone. Not all is
lost as one can copy it from an email message on the iPhone and even
if you didn't receive the post as an email, you should be able to copy
it on your computer and email it to yourself. Not ideal, but not a
deal breaker either I guess.

I believe there will have to be a route other than email found for
case transfer. There are many occasions when I find myself out of
email contact when away from my office or home. Clearly there is no
panic to do this. Some spreadsheet Apps claim to be Excel compatible
but I've not tried any. Could they mean they use the same formula
basis or that files can be exported and read into Excel? Maybe they
use the same email route for export?

[Craig Morris]

I assume you are talking about transferring the CSV reports to your
computer spreadsheet, rather than the actual transfer of cases? I
can't think of a scenario where you would need to transfer the case
itself to your computer, while you were off the grid, but can see how
the report thing could come up.

Any sort of transfer will require some sort of connection between the
computer and the phone and I think using the physical connection might
be tricky. That leaves using either a local wifi or bluetooth.
Having local wifi that isn't connected to the net would probably be
rare, but it might be possible to write an app for the computer that
could converse with the phone by bluetooth, but it would be far from
trivial.

Perhaps there are other mechanisms I haven't thought of.

[Andrew Vieler]

I was thinking of being able to transfer the actual case, partly as
one may wish to give it to A.N.Other or for backup whilst being in no
email/wireless access. Having done a little reading I think one can
copy & paste it to the Notes then this can be synchronized with
iTunes. Now whether one can then get it out of iTunes but it seems
possible to synch iTunes with an email client so then it must be
possible to copy & paste to a text file and then onwards.
