There is this free Apple software called iCloud that can connect the contents of your iPhone to the "Cloud" and then to your computer.
After you download and install iCloud, run the Control Panel (for iCloud). I only selected the Photo Stream. I want the photos in my iPhone to be copied to the Cloud, then downloaded to my PC. I don't want them to touch my bookmarks, contacts, etc., so I unchecked the boxes.What they did is, they gave me a free storage of 5 GB (GigaBytes). That is five thousand Megabytes. Figuring about 2 MB of storage for a good quality picture, the Cloud can store about 2,500 of my iPhone pictures.
Well, that is all the configuration you have to do. You have to sign in once using your Apple user ID. This is the user ID you would use when you buy iPhone Apps. This tells Apple which iPhone to go to for pictures. The computer (PC) you installed the iCloud Control Panel is the laptop to which the pictures are downloaded.
Ok, how to you get to the pictures on your laptop? Go to Start, then click on the Computer icon. On the left side on this panel, click on the Computers again. You will see the "Photo Streams" icon show up. Double click the icon, it will show you all the iPhone pictures. Every time you click a new picture, it will automatically upload the picture to your Cloud storage.
This is a really good free App and free storage for your iPhone pictures. No more cables. I imagine this will be great for my blogs now.
Sounds great! Look forward to seeing your pictures : )
