In iOS 5, Apple added an annoying limit that cancels your file transfer from one app to another in case of the transfer lasting more than 1 minute.
It takes about 1 minute to copy/transfer about 300-350MB, so that means that you cannot transfer files bigger than 350MB between iOS apps anymore because of the timeout.
I believe this severely damages the working possibilities of the iOS devices.
Example:
As a film student, I often download large files (~1gb) of video material with Downloads HD on my iPad and then want to open the file in a video player app. Because of this limit I am unable to do so.
This is surely just one of many examples of how having a 350mb limit on files you can move between apps restricts the user.
I already wrote to Apple about this issue and I hope you will too, so together we make iOS a more functional operating system.
