Today, TUAW reports that DataCase, a new iPhone app that looks to be quite handy for teaching and learning, recently hit the App Store.  Essentially, DataCase for iPhone turns you 16GB device into a wireless flash drive. Unlike FileMagnet, DataCase doesn’t require that an app be installed on the Mac, and it can also be used with a PC or Linux machine.

To use DataCase, install the app on your iPhone 2.0 device (or iPod touch, of course), tap the icon, make sure that Wi-Fi is enabled on your iPhone and then fire up your Mac, PC or Linux box. From your Mac you browse for the iPhone using Bonjour and by double-clicking the iPhone icon you have access to two default volumes on the iPhone—Drop Box and Shared Files.

TUAW asserts that Drop Box is exactly what it sounds like, a write-only location into which others on your network can drop files for you to view. Shared Files is a read-and-write volume, so you can either receive or distribute files. Create up to 16 volumes with individual permission settings. Coming from Windows or Linux, you can use an HTTP or FTP connection to transfer files. Once the files are on the iPhone, you can view them natively if they’re in MS Office, text, or PDF formats.
