I assume I could just compile from BT on my laptop, copy my text/htm/jpg etc. files to the laptop and then after working recompile again back on the desktop and copy my text/html/jpg etc. files back to the desktop. Was just wondering if there's an easier way. Thanks.

Used dropbox in the past. Comments Dropbox, Sugarsync, Github many options for storing, pushing, syncing and pulling updates. Used dropbox in the past.

And how do I test on the laptop? - somehow I have to get profiles over to it too. Comments Just what do I send to Dropbox?

Just move the entire project folder to Dropbox and you're all set. You can open Orin Xcode on either machine. (Makes collaborating on a project super easy too) Android is a bit more complicated. Move the project folder to Dropbox before you import into Eclipse on either machine. When you import, don't check the 'copy into workspace' option. You'll have issues if you're using Maps due to the way Google Play Services works, but otherwise you should be fine. Comments iOS or Android? If iOS, it's really easy.
