‘Email Images’ Bookmarklet for iPhone

Sunday, January 27th, 2008

I have created a small bookmarklet for the iPhone using that you can email the embedded images in webpage to any one. The actual email contains the link of that image.

It works very simply, open a web page in your iPhone. Then if you like an image and send to your friend via email, apply the ‘Email Image’ bookmarklet. It will show all the images of the web page and tap on the image you like to share.

Here is the bookmarklet: Email Images

Here is the bookmarklet link to add directly from iPhone: Email Images

Check Here, for instructions to add bookmarklets directly to iPhone without syncing to iTunes.

Add Bookmarklets to iPhone without syncing to iTunes

Saturday, January 26th, 2008

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:

  1. Click on the bookmarklet link. (Edit: They are given below, like ‘Open in new window’ etc.)
  2. It will open a page saying - Requested page not found
  3. Bookmark the error page in iPhone
  4. Then open bookmarks, click on edit
  5. Edit the bookmarklet you recently added
    1. First Tap on the ‘Address’ field
    2. 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.
    3. Remove the ‘http://soft-use.com/’ from the address
  6. 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.
