Excitement! We finally pushed our iPhone app through the Nomadesk QA department – tough guys. Now, we just received word that our app is in review by Apple. All ten fingers crossed (ouch)!

Are we late to the party? I don’t believe so. We simply took the time to build an app that really fits the existing Nomadesk experience. As such Nomadesk for iPhone, iPod touch and iPad will allow you to:Nomadesk for iPhone

  • Access all your documents, pictures, music, etc.
  • Share Files and Folders with a download link
  • Upload pictures (existing ones or direct from your iPhone camera) to share and sync
  • View documents, pictures, slideshows
  • Share your Nomadesk Fileserver and manage guest permissions
  • Sign up to Nomadesk and create Fileservers
  • Track your computer(s) on Google Maps and remotely shred your Nomadesk files with Nomadesk Theftguard

So, soon you will be able to download the Nomadesk app from the iTunes AppStore. We can hardly wait to get your feedback, after all this is but “version one”.
