Add Bookmarklets to iPhone without syncing to iTunes
Using the following way you can add the bookmarklets to your iPhone without syncing to iTunes. No jailbreak is needed. I have found this method and I like the bookmarklets and hate the syncing to iTunes, but no one had created a page to do it for lots of useful bookmarklets. So I decided to put up such page by my self. List of bookmarklets are followed by the instructions on how to use them.
How to use it:
- Click on the bookmarklet link. (Edit: They are given below, like ‘Open in new window’ etc.)
- It will open a page saying - Requested page not found
- Bookmark the error page in iPhone
- Then open bookmarks, click on edit
- Edit the bookmarklet you recently added
- First Tap on the ‘Address’ field
- It will take you to the end of the address - so go to the start of address by keeping you finger on Left side of the address bar.
- Remove the ‘http://soft-use.com/’ from the address
- Done.
Below are some bookmarklets I have found from web. Some of them are created by me. All the credit goes to their creators. I will add new bookmarklets to this as I find them. If you can add some more in comments, I will add to the list.
Open in New Window - Found from Here
iTransmogrify - Enables embedded flash contents to view in YouTube or Quicktime - More info Here
Email Images - It will show all the images of the web page and, when you tap on some image it will open email client to send the selected image link via email. More information Here

Brent: All the links in the post are bookmarklet links. After you tap on one link, it will open a page showing the instructions how to use it. Let me know if you still have problems.

For further clarification on how to add these, check out the installation pages for imageMailer which uses this method for adding bookmarklets directly to the iPhone/iPod Touch with step-by-step instructions.

iTransmogrify is also well worth persevering for.

Awesome site, seems like everyone else assumes everybody syncs bookmarks with their iPhone… Some of us prefer to do things on the fly you know!
If you could add Erica Sadun’s paste custom text bookmarklet, you’d make my day - I’m sick of typing my email address, no matter how good the iPhone’s text entry!
