Carbonite goes iPhone (and iPod Touch)

Man, this is what I’ve been waiting for! I have my iPhone with me wherever I go (I have to confess to being a little obsessed with it) and now I can view my backed up files — anywhere, anytime — using the new Carbonite app for the iPhone and iPod Touch.

I can imagine my first great experience with it. Siting waiting at Melbourne airport for my trip to Sydney. I am preparing for a client presentation, so I pull up my PowerPoint presentation on my iPhone and review it. I then spend some time looking over a contract. While still waiting at the gate, I decide to browse my favourite pictures of me and my family.

The Carbonite app gives me access to the backed up files from each of my computers, even if the computers are turned off. And I don’t have to be logged into a Wi-Fi connection or lug my laptop with me. It displays my photos, documents, and other important files and allows me to share any of my backed up files with someone else via email, right from the app. It’s fast and super-simple. I’m really proud of this Carbonite app and I hope you all will find it as useful as I do.

The best part? It’s free for all Carbonite users.
