Michael Muchmore, PC Magazine’s lead analyst for software and Web applications reviewed the latest Nomadesk release.
Here are but a few of his “discoveries”:
“Nomadesk goes beyond other syncing and file-sharing services, creating a complete virtual disk… If you just want a virtual drive synched to your PCs and the cloud, Nomadesk is worth a look.”
“A big green button on the Nomadesk webpage offers live support with an engineer in a chat window. There’s also e-mail and phone support (CET office hours only). For a Web service, these avenues are quite generous. Indeed, I got a tech rep in my chat box in seconds.”
“If the idea of anywhere access to your digital assets appeals to you, Nomadesk is worth checking out. After all, spending $50 per year to sync a full hard drive’s worth of data is a much better deal than the Syncplicity’s $15 a month for 50GB. It’s also cheaper than PC Mag Editors’ Choice Dropbox, which costs $100 a year for 50GB.”

PCMAG.COM reported partnerships between Novatel Wireless and several software companies, including Nomadesk, to provide imbedded applications for their MiFi 3G-to-WiFi router.

The MiFi’s first three application partners will be Eye-Fi, Nomadesk and Alcatel-Lucent, Novatel chief marketing officer Rob Hadley said. Nomadesk will offer an app that turns a MiFi with a memory card into a shared network drive for anyone accessing it, and also synchronizes the MiFi with Internet-based storage.
