Nakahara Informatics has released iGet Mobile 2.0, an update of the company’s remote Mac access software for the iPhone, iPod touch and other web-capable devices.
The software provides Mac users with a personal web interface to access their documents remotely, with a special emphasis on making various types of data more accessible on small-form-factor devices. Version 2.0 sports new iPhone-specific features in the web interface, an improved web server component, a completely redesigned user interface for the Mac application, and more.
Automatic network configuration is also improved. iGet Mobile not only allows users to browse their Macs remotely, but can also perform on-the-fly document conversions that make many common Mac file types more compatible with mobile devices. For example, a 50MB high-resolution Photoshop image file can be reduced in size and converted to a standard image format.
iGet Mobile 2.0 requires Mac OS X 10.5 (“Leopard”) or later. It normally costs US$39, but is currently available for the special promotional price of $29. A demo is available at the Nakahara web site.
