“With a multitude of applications now available from the App Store, few stand out. Vieosoft’s DataCase may be one of those that does,” Ed Oswald reports for BetaNews.
“The $6.99 app was released on Monday, and essentially leverages the flash memory of the iPhone as a wireless storage device. Currently the application supports Microsoft Office, PDF, Text, image, HTML, audio, and video file transfer,” Oswald reports. “Support for iWork documents is not available in the initial version.”
“For transferring files to the device, DataCase adds two folders, a ‘drop box’ where files are placed from the computer to be synced when placed within it, and a “shared files” folder that would allow for the sharing of files when connected to the wireless network,” Oswald reports. “Users can delete and view files transferred from the iPhone, and it features Apple File Protocol Transfers and Bonjour support, as well as FTP and HTTP connections.”

That’s a cool app but the graphics for it stink. Please fix that in the next upgrade.
Mobile Finder http://www.pixiotech.com/Site/MobileFinder.html
does the same thing but costs $1.99 vs Datacase $6.99
and you has a text editor.
oops. it* has a text editor built in.
and also opens Numbers and Pages files from iWork
Why the hell couldn’t Apple do that?
SWEET! iPhone is totally becoming my new Time Capsule.
Just downloaded MobileFinder. Seems much better.
Phone View. You can access your iphone via usb and turns it into a more realistic hard drive for transferring larger files. I just got this a couple days ago and its been working great.

$6.99? Smart.
Squeezing out an extra 70 cents with each purchase because for most $6.99 isn’t much different than $5.99.
Smart.
@HMCIV,
A very small Time Capsule I guess.
Hurry up and buy it before Apple discovers its utility and pulls it from the store! (remember Netshare?)
