YouSendIt and Other Top iPad, Android Tablet Business Apps
YouSendIt launched its iPad and Android app this week, making its cloud-based sharing and collaboration features available to tablet, along with other platforms. it’s a big step for YouSendIt as it expands its services as well as its business model. For many companies leveraging cloud storage these days, mobile’s been a great avenue to access consumers and enterprise clients, and really extends YouSendIt’s core product. Other notable business apps for this week include the iPad’s Inventor Publisher Mobile Viewer and PogoPlug, and Android’s PocketCloud Explore, a new cloud app from Wyse.
iPad
The newly launched YouSendIt adds a special twist to remote file sharing. A simplistic and well-organized interface is combined with direct integration and a lot of security – data is encrypted both in transit and while it’s stored on the company’s servers.
Inventor Publisher Mobile Viewer
Investor Publisher provides an environment for users to display interactive 3D models of products on the iPad’s screen, making it a powerful tool for sales pitches. Users can zoom, spam and spin the view; tap on specific parts to present a pop-up description; set up slide-shows and share their files across the iPad, iPhone and iPod.
The cloud storage app works similarly to Dropbox and other applications: users can upgrade the capacity available for free and upload or download their files robustly. Media is automatically imported from the camera to Pogoplug, storage can be scaled indefinitely, and the app is integrated with social sites like Facebook and Twitter for easy publishing.
Gusto is a web-development app that couples a straight-forward UI with features that let the user view or update their project on the go. Selected files or folders can be downloaded from one’s FTP/ SFTP server, and graphic enhancements designed to make code writing easier such as syntax highlighting are available for several languages.
Android
Wyse’s latest app debuted this week. It’s a sophisticated personal cloud management platform that syncs with clients on other platforms including Windows and Mac in order to save changes to files and folders across all the remote devices the user owns.
