DataCase turns iPhone into wireless storage device

OK, we know you're probably iPhone-apped out by now, but a seemingly promising program called DataCase is worth a mention. It turns your iPhone (or iPod Touch) into a handheld wireless drive, meaning you should be able to peek at your PowerPoint document, reread your Word Document, review a PDF, or check your Excel spreadsheet when and where you want, with no upload program or server configuration necessary.

The program works directly with Finder and Bonjour to let you save all manner of files by dragging and dropping. PCs and Linux are also supported.

The application is currently in public beta, with the development team at Veiosoft delaying the final release so they can iron out any major problems. "We expect the beta period to be very short, and sincerely hope you'll understand our desire to release quality software over pushing out something that does not meet your expectations," the Web site says. Hmmm, we like the sound of that. The $7 price tag doesn't sound too bad, either.

Watch a demo of DataCase below.

Im kinda getting tired of crave putting in an iphone update every day. They say they try to be unbiased but thats not showing it. I mean where is the phone news about the rulling in california that could ban early termination fees and therefore cause all companies to get rid of contracts and only sell unlocked phones?? HELLOOOO

Actually, a reporter is working on that very story now. Will be up soon.

Agreed, there are plenty of other very powerful, useful, cheaper and more advanced devices than the iphone. There are also some useful and interesting apps for those. Stop letting the iphone distract you and get with the times, like you say you are.
