Apple has released their free MobileMe iDisk app which users can use to view and share files on their iDisks right from their iPhones and iPod touch devices.
Log in with you MobileMe username and password and you’ll see a list of the folders and files on your iDisk. Select a file to view it on your iPhone. To share a file with someone else, just tap the share icon, choose your recipients, and MobileMe iDisk will send them an email with a lonk to download your file directly from MobileMe. You can assign a password to keep your files secure and even limit the number of days the doenwload will be available – all right from your iPhone or iPod touch.
Features:
– View files on your iDisk
– Access Public folders
– Easily share files from your iPhone and iPod touch
– Quickly access recently-viewed files
– View iPhone-supported file types, including iWork, PDF, QuickTimes, Office, and more (files larger than 20MB may not be viewable)
The app supports English, French, German, and Japanese languages.
More info via Apple’s iTunes App Store here.
Tried the link to the iTunes store…
Invalid URI…
This app looks nice visually. But it sucks. Really. It’s not up to Apple’s usual level of quality at all. Crappy image viewer, seems to download every time rather than caching.
Not impressed.
Downloaded it, installed it, works like a charm! A bit slow, perhaps, but works great.
I tried it out and found it to work excellent. Any of the recently viewed files (up to 100 MB) cached just fine. Was able to stream video without any issues. Is everything I was hoping for in this app.
I searched for it in the App Store and got Mobile Menorah!
Oy Vey! Such a deal and for only 99 shekels.
Gotta LOVE that App Store search function!
I’d get it but I don’t have any lonks yet so I guess it won’t work for me. I’ve searched eBay for lonks too but I can’t find any there either. If I could just doenwload one I’d be right I guess.
…an email with a lonk?
Works like a charm. I can load up some of my favorite “special” movies to stream in my iPhone. No need to load up and take space for those “special” files.

I got lonked in the head once….
It’s about time, but thanks Apple! Really great and much appreciated.
I’m just waiting for a DropBox app. We might not see that though due to Apple most likely rejecting any app they make. Too bad…
All I get (every time after about ten tries) is a dialog box:
Unexpected Error
An unexpected error occurred
(1001)
OK [button]
Not so great, so far.
It’s about time! I have no idea what took them so long!
Only thing I noticed is that it doesn’t seem to use Address Book when emailing pix from within the app.
Otherwise, it’s nicely done for a 1.0.
… and if you’ve ever clicked a lonk you know how difficult that can be.
After using Quickoffice, Filemagnet and some others from the app store, this is clearly the way it was meant to work. Really great job. I love the caching of files that way if you look at the same files regularily it doesn’t have to load them each time. I regularily email the same files to clients. I can quickly access and mail them from my Iphone. While I could do this with Quickoffice the difference is they come from my mail server so I have a record of when I sent them.
Great Job!
@Terrence & Phillip:
Why would you want to use this app as an image viewer when it’s so easy to load images directly onto the iPhone?
I will probably look back on the time period before today and wonder how I ever got along without lonking for so long.
is “doenwload” a doen with load? If so, I need a doen and want to learn how to load it- or even how to keep it empty. Can anyone help? Do you lonk it?
