ITHACA, New York — May 12, 2008 — Nakahara Informatics, Inc. today
announced the release of iGet Mobile 2.0, the next generation of the
company’s remote Mac access software for iPhone, iPod Touch and other
web-capable devices.
iGet Mobile gives Mac users 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 many other enhancements. Automatic network
configuration is also improved, making it easy for most Mac users to make
their personal servers accessible from the Internet without requiring
networking expertise.
“It’s just cool,” said one user who participated in the beta test. “Instead
of 8GB, it’s like having a 500GB iPhone, because everything on my iMac at
home is basically always in my pocket.”
“We’re tremendously excited about this release,” said CEO Christopher
Martin. “The iPhone is certainly the most interesting new platform in a
decade, and it’s been a catalyst for innovation. Last year, we released
iGet Mobile 1.0 in record time, due to insistent demand from customers who
wanted a solution for accessing the Mac from the iPhone as soon as we could
possibly deliver it. Now, with this second major release, we’ve not only
been able to add new features, but have also added a lot more polish in
terms of how the application looks and behaves. So we’re very pleased to
make this release available as a free upgrade for all our customers.”
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. This means that a 50MB
high-resolution Photoshop image file can be reduced in size and converted
to a standard image format, or that a rich-text RTFD document can be
instantly converted to PDF format, before being viewed on an iPhone.
While designed with the iPhone specifically in mind, iGet Mobile allows
users to access their Macs from “any decently web-capable device”, Martin
added.
iGet Mobile 2.0 is available immediately from the company’s web site:

Mac that supports this version of the OS.
