Apple just recently released the beta version of their messages app to the public. This isn't fully complete yet and there will more than likely be visual tweaks as well as other changes and the addition of more features before this app ships as part of the new release of OS X Mountain Lion. Mountain Lion is currently available for developers to test and with the new Messages app theere are plenty of new things to try. As with all Apple software releases, people are keen to see just what can be done with the messages app and the implementation of iMessage on anything other than an iOS device.
The people over at iPhoneil have discovered that Messages in particular appears to have a hidden secret. It appears that users of the Messages app on the Mac can actually send pretty much any file to iOS device owners with the iPhone, iPad or iPod Touch able to open them. This includes sending videos, PDF files and more. It is something that isn't being discussed that much but it could open up a lot of opportunities for getting files on an iOS device without having to jump through lots of hoops. The files that are already confirmed to be working include PDF, TXT and also .app files.
It isn't clear whether this is an intentional feature or whether Apple just never thought about such a thing being possible so hopefully this feature won't go missing when Mountain Lion makes its official debut later this year.
