How do you write a file in your mac and made it readable on iphone's Notes?

Or Is there a way to transfer word files or something like that to the iphone? I want to read my document on iphone, anyone has any idea how to do it?

Email it to yourself?

Lots of options really...... email is a pretty easy one, like Macfreak7 said. Just file them all in a folder called Documents or whatever makes sense to you. You could also save them as PDFs, sftp them to your phone then view them with the PDFViewer app.

There are a number of 'unofficial' not-very-easy-to-do options, but the only official way is to e-mail it to yourself. Which is pretty poor.

That really isn't a very sane way of having to get some typed notes onto your iPhone/Touch; far more work than probably just emailing the contents to yourself (which in itself makes no sense). Not sure why Apple is dragging their feet on this one.

agreed, there really should be a much better official means but... there isn't.

One of the advertised features of Leopard was that you were going to be able to sync the notes on your iPhone with the notes in Mail.app on your Mac. The page advertising that was changed shortly before Leopard's launch. Maybe we'll get lucky and it will be added in.
