Tor Anumana launches AFAR and ASYNC
Tor Anumana has announced two wireless applications for remote access. The first makes it possible to run a live presentation (like PowerPoint) via a mobile device and share a live demo with others all over the world, instantaneously on their own mobile devices. The second makes it possible to access any file from their desktop, from anywhere in the world, using any mobile device. Sound interesting? We've seen a lot of entertainment-style remote access apps/devices/services (Slingbox and Orb spring to mind), but not so much in the Enterprise space, where these apps are firmly targeted - use-cases and screenshots below: EXAMPLE OF AFAR Imagine if you're at the airport and realize you have a conference call in less than 30 minutes requiring you to run a PowerPoint presentation with 6 of your international sales people. You use your mobile device to access the PowerPoint from your home computer via your cell phone and transmit it to the other six. Then promptly on time, you manage the slides all while the others are following along on their own cell phone screen. When the presentation ends, you hang up…and get on your flight, just in time. EXAMPLE OF ASYNC Imagine that you are at an important meeting and want to make a copy of a file you have back on your desktop. Now with ASYNC, you can access your file (any file) from your computer using your cell phone and transmit it to another computer to print. That's ASYNC. So those are the apps - question is, would you use them? Just for your information, the BREW versions of these apps are due Q208, the WinMo versions in Q308, and the Java versions are yet to be given a date. To my mind, that's slightly US-centric, but hey, we can't have it all our own way in Europe/UK now, can we!
