Soonr Brings Mobile Cloud Computing to the iPhone
Soonr, a mobile cloud services provider, has launched an iPhone application that uses the power of cloud computing to keep business people in touch with their documents anywhere they go. A free version is available from the Apple App Store with expanded versions offered through leading mobile operators and SaaS providers.
Just as today's mobile phones let you send and receive emails while on the go, Soonr now makes the documents on a Mac or PC completely mobile. Whenever a computer is online, Soonr automatically and instantly backs up files in a "personal cloud," making them always available. iPhone users get a crisp, clear view of all their documents, whether they are Word, Excel, PowerPoint or virtually any other file type, along with the ability to collaborate and share, and even print to a remote printer right from their iPhones.
Unlike other applications with limited functionality that require the uploading of files every time they are changed, Soonr automatically maintains the latest versions of all key documents in the cloud. Soonr's rendering software works across a wide range of document formats, so mobile workers don't have to download specific programs to view their documents as required by other applications. Documents are rendered and pages can instantly be previewed as thumbnails. And since the document resides in the cloud and not on the iPhone, accessing and viewing is fast.
All of Soonr's capabilities are available, even when host computers are sleeping or powered off. As a bonus, since Soonr continuously and securely backs up documents to a personal cloud, they are easily restored in case of computer failure or loss.
