Free Hosted Storage Service for Apple

BOSTON, June 27, 2007 (medianowonline)- SeeFile, a developer of webserver
software for sharing media files, today announced its
support for Apple's iPhone with a new free hosted service,
www.seefile.com. The site combines 5 Gigabytes of
free storage space, graphical previews of saved files, and
features such as print ordering and online annotation, which
go beyond what online storage sites typically provide.
Features include:
-- First such application developed specifically for Apple's
iPhone
-- 5 Gigabytes free online storage space per user
-- Photos, PDFs, QuickTime videos and other files can be
uploaded and shared
-- Thumbnails and previews are generated automatically
-- Online photo prints are available for point-and-click
ordering
-- SeeFile 3 technology also supports Mac and PC web browsers
including Internet Explorer, Firefox, and Safari
-- Site goes live 4PM EDT Friday, June 29th; press and blogger
previews available prior to launch

Tuned to the iPhone
The site's simple, elegant graphical user interface is
designed to fit within the confines of the iPhone's 480x320
pixel touchscreen. The design is tailored for the iPhone's
version of Apple's Safari web browser, with a compact
layout, large buttons suited to touch screen selection, and
easy-to-navigate folder browsing. In addition, the design
uses only "iPhone-friendly" AJAX Web 2.0 design principles,
and no Flash or Java code is employed, for maximum
compatibilty. The free service goes "live" at 4PM Eastern
Daylight Time on Friday, June 29th - two hours before the
iPhone goes on sale at AT&T Cingular wireless locations on
the East Coast.

Building Your Own Site

Another major advantage of http://www.seefile.com over
standard filesharing websites is that users can purchase a
version of the software that drives the site, to run on
their own computers. This software package functions
identically to the hosted site, but stores shared files
directly on the hard disk of the computer running the
software. With this server software package, iPhone owners
can use SeeFile to access a wide range of media files such
as photo proofs, PDFs and video files from remote locations.
Current customers for the SeeFile 3 software include
commercial photographers, graphic designers, videographers
and print providers. Packages are also available which
bundle all the sofware and hardware needed to set up a
SeeFile site, with prices starting at $995.
