That little sketch above, from the Dropbox Blog post on this, is exactly how I felt when I spotted this news. Dropbox’s iPhone app has been submitted to the App Store – last week – and is just awaiting approval.

[JAiPB] I’ve used a number of online backup / file sync apps on the desktop, and none has been as simple and pleasant to work with as Dropbox. I love how easy it is to use, and can’t wait to see their iPhone app in action.

In the meantime, here are some of the app’s features:

* Access your Dropbox on the go - All the contents of your Dropbox are available for viewing. You can even stream music and movies in your Dropbox straight to your iPhone.
* Download files for offline viewing – Add files to your ‘Favorites’, and they’ll be accessible at any time.
* Take photos and videos and sync them to your Dropbox – Take a photo from your iPhone and email its public link to a friend in less than a minute.
* Share links to files in your Dropbox – What? Any file in your Dropbox? Srsly?
* Photo galleries – Just like the ones online.
