A:
Use adb. With adb pull you can copy files from your device to your system, when the device is attached with USB.
Of course you also need the right permissions to access the directory your file is in. If not, you will need to root the device first.

On my device (Android 2.1) the command would be "adb pull /sdcard/test.jpg" to copy test.jpg from my sd card to the current dir. Please locate your iTwips.apk file first using "adb shell". This start a shell on your device and you can use the standard Unix commands like ls and cd to browse your directories.

It is possible that you don't have permissions to read from that folder. In that case you will first need root access to your device. How to do this depends on the device you have. Google device type + root access and you will probably find lots of information.
