Access Desktop Files from Your Phone with Soonr

I've been meaning to mention Soonr for some time, and now that there's a handy YouTube video (several of them, actually) demonstrating it in action (see above), this seemed like the right moment.

Soonr is a free service that lets you access your PC via your mobile phone. You can use Soonr to share and retrieve files, access your Outlook calendar and contact list, and even make free calls via Skype (not unlike the Mobivox service we mentioned recently). There's no software to install on your phone, meaning it should work with any model that has a Web browser, and the desktop client is available for both Windows and Mac systems. Give it a try!
